Re: Fight Night Round 4 Review

Sorry to mention this guy is incorrect with saying that these are the best next gen graphics, that goes to MLB 09 The Show.

Sorry do to the lackluster player models in the show they are 3rd overall .
Nhl series 2nd
and FNR4 is the undisputed champion of the sports video game world !

Good review. I was so surprised by the overall quality of this game. One bad thing, is it has kept UFC Undisputed in its game box and not in my PS3.

Same here, except on xbox 360.

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Review

Totally agree with the review and the score. Its really the first excellent sports game of the year and pending how NHL10 turns out very well may be my sports game of the year. Fun to play, sexy to look at, great atmosphere, solid single player, multiplayer, and forthcoming post release with DLC and possibly gameplay tweaks. Solid 9-9.5 imo.

Great stuff. Nice read. I can't wait to get off work to play this some more. I've been making all of my friends so that I can put them into my legacy and bash there faces in. It's really entertaining.

Now that's funny right there!

You must not play baseball games and The Show 09!

Great boxing game, no doubt, but The Show is Game of the Year, if you know baseball.

9.8 IMO...GREATEST. Boxing Game. EVER. Now give us DLC for De La Hoya, Mayweather, Holyfield, & Bowe.

yeah if they add those boxers, ill give it a 9.5

7 IMO. It's funny that you didn't mention that stick mashing is the new trend and annoys some just as much as button mashing did. The online world is the selling point for me and it's flawed. If you have a record of say 7-2 and your opponent is 151-3 he will likely not play you for fear of real competition. They took out button mashing I guess because they say it as cheese, but this game still attracts 80% of the mice flying around in the gaming world.

dude, u will encounter cheese in every sports online. thats just the way it is. albeit, now-a-days developers do the best they can to stop some things but they cant focus all thier time on that.

u want to have a good time online? play people u know and buddy's and on ur friends list. thats what thier there for. thats what i been doing and i been having a ball online.

No way Show is better looking than FN. I like The Show's authenticity on the graphics front, but there are a lot of anti-aliasing issues, not to mention ghosting etc. I believe I even saw that the developers were planning on tweaking the player models next year.

thats a big statement but i wont argue. i think THE SHOW look just as good. maybe not in the players, but in the overall look of the game.

Wow, I kept playing the demo over and over and after reading this review during the day, I decided enough was enough of Hatton vs Pacquio so I went and bought it. This game is amazing. I really haven't played boxing games much over the years and never really played any Fight Night game other than a few times. The only other boxing games I got into were the original Mike Tyson's Punch-Out on NES and Evander Holyfield Real Deal Boxing on Genesis. I played the first Rocky game on GC and had fun with it for story, but it wasn't anywhere near as fun as this.

As far as graphically vs the Show, it should look better since there are only 2 models to really pay attention to rather than all the baseball players on the field. Either way, these are 2 great sports games that are going to keep me busy all year probably. I think I'll be holding off on Madden and NCAA this year.

I would buy that in a friggen heartbeat.

EA could milk me forever with this game...pack 2 should have Joe Louis, Tito, Camacho, and B Hop.

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Review

Have you guys seen the Cabs out there? Some are so sick, no need for DLC.

And yes, this game is amazing...Made me completely forget about UFC.

The real boxers have been OK, I have a decent De La and Holyfield, but most are meh, IMO. The non-boxers have been phenomenal tho...Borat, Obama, Rocky, and Michael Jackson are all spot on. Go figure.

Maybe the DLC should be extra hairstyles and cuts and more sig shorts and gear.

Really...I've downloaded 39 boxers from the online interface. From old-school guys like Jack Johnson, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, and Jack Dempsey, to new-school guys like Andre Berto, David Haye, and Aamir Khan...and everyone inbetween.

Anybody giving this game a 9.5, 9.7, anything along those lines is just a fanboy and I don't respect there opinions. This game is so far from perfection that it's sickening. 2000 punch totals is nothing if anyone can really last 12 rounds. It can be fun for stints as I have stated. I think Gamespot gave the closest thing to a true verdict an 8. I don't need these games to stay in business neither am I a fanboy so I give it the real deal 7. As gamespot stated this game allows people to quit online with no penalty. Is that the stuff of a 9.75? As for rawdeal, dude, I know how to manage my life and gaming.

[swiftychampleone]

I think it's a solid game. Once EA puts the DLC out for button configuration and it drops to $35 online, then I'll will buy it. Sorry but that TPC is inaccurate. When I throw a jab, I want a jab, not a cross.
