Fight Night Round 4 Review

[RaychelSnr]

After a three-year hiatus, the champ is back to defend its throne. But during the long layoff, we’ve witnessed the returns of Afro Thunder and Little Mac, the rise of Wii Sports boxing, an appearance by Don King and the next-gen debut of Dana White and his UFC crew.

Sporting a new development team and a world of hype, Fight Night Round 4 retains the title and does it every bit as good as its predecessor. Read on to find out how.

good review and i agree good job. Although the presentation should be a negative. No tale of the tape before a fight, and no drama when announcing the decisions. my only complaints really other than increase the power of the jabs and crosses of the boxers that deserve it.

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Review

I would have given it an 8, but fair review.

[allgames]

The review is fair, but I disagree about the value of the corner game. I think in online games the strategy involved in saving points for stamina boosts and health in later rounds is huge. I have saved points and stayed away from action in middle rounds, then filled my stamina bar so I can unleash a barrage of punches in the 9th or 10th to land the KO. The game is a lot of fun I give it an 8

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.

Still say button option should at least be available offline.

Only wish I could fight any match in Legacy Mode.

Other than that fantastic game. Worth the hype.

[acarrero]

Agree with score. This game is so much more realistic than FN3. The gameface option is huge. Looking forward to filling out the roster with downloaded boxers.

[TracerBullet]

I agree with the 9. I like this game alot. For some reason the training is a lot harder for me this time around for me at least and i like the difficulty. I've already had some amazing fights against the CPU and human players. While the lines may get a little repetitive after awhile, the insight they give is way more enthralling than any other sports game out there. I also agree with the visuals being the best on next gen. Just amazing.

One problem i have is that the game face always makes my eyes too huge for some reason. anyone else have that problem?

9.5 IMO

[bigsmallwood]

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

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.

[jusmegamer]

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

[ChaseB]

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.

Fight Night Has The Show Beat By A Long Shot FNR4 is A problem the best sports game in 09
