I'm not sure this is a step forward as far as the original Xbox is concerned.

User Rating: 7.7 | Fight Night Round 3 XBOX
I must say, while the graphics are superior, and the haymakers a bit better as far as the fighting goes, the odd speed differences, and rather dramatic interface changes, coupled with graphical changes that make the game feel... Unnatural, cause me to be less enchanted with this offering for the original Xbox. This will probably play much more beautifully on a PS3, or Xbox 360, but I'm not about to shell out over half a thousand dollars for a console.

This is all I have to say about this game. I'm a huge fan of the franchise, and while there's superior fighter damage/reaction, the change of interface is a step backward. There should be a slight modification for the original xbox, to suit the graphical limitations inherrent here. As I said, on the newer console, this game probably plays gorgeously.
