    Don King Presents: Prizefighter First Look: IGN

    IGN has posted their first look preview of Don King Presents: Prizefighter.

    "We got an early, pre-beta look at Prizefighter last week and came away with one word echoing in our heads: spectaculocity. While there's no true definition to the word that Don King uses to open the introductory cinematic to the game, we can't help but feel that it's an accurate summation for the overall tone of Prizefighter."

    3 things stuck out -
    1- 80 boxers???
    2- repeating story so that if you make a new boxer his hand will break every time on his 4rth fight for example...as in the scripted events are constant no matter what (too bad)
    3- in ring action seems sub-par
    Liquor in the front, poker in the rear.

      Crap!..........Nevermind, this is just some cheezy linear story. Why did they do that? All I wanted was rankings and be able to choose the fights I wanted, not some scripted rocky story where the injuries are scripted. To quote Slim Shady, "That's Rock Bottom."

        Re: IGN: Prizefighter First Look

        Sounds promising
        80 boxers = awesome, 30 current fighters/10 retired fighters of the last 50 years/40 generic fighters

        40 generic make me excited because they will mimic fighters they could not sign for example Cotto, Mayweather, Tyson, Lewis, Klitschkos, etc. (Hopefully we can edit the generics)

        For the in-ring action it needs some ironing out, but still pretty good.

        Career mode being linear is similar to other boxing titles, so I am ok with it. It is a first look so we don't know the career mode in-depth yet. Hopefully it has some branching paths when you lose, win, draw, etc.

        I cannot wait for this game. Presentation, soundtrack, boxers are top notch from the preview. This will be one of the few games I will get without even reading any reviews, impressions, and what not. Sometimes all the impressions can mess a game up for me. Peace.

          i agree with your points but if there is a story mode, i'd want a career mode also where you can have a stable of boxers in your own gym and have multiple boxers going w/ different styles and attributes...this 'story' being the same everytime makes the replay value go down actually rather than no story at all...it's kindof a bummer

          the in-ring action sounds like it could need for than ironing out too...collision detection and lack of power

            Watch the screen with the Career mode stuff...that looks deep and involving.

              There are alot of questions right now. I didn't see any boxer stats on that page. Height, Weight, hand, etc.

              I saw a box that said contract. Hopefully you get to choose your fights and scout opponents.

              If there are a total of 80 boxers, that will greatly reduce replayability. That would mean that there is either only one class, heavyweight, that you can play or all the divisions have a serious lack of boxers in there.

              Time will tell, but it leaves alot of questions.

                They dropped the ball with the career mode. If i can't pick who i want to fight, then i'd rather just keep playing fight night round 3. Im telling you man i need to be a producer for 2k.. seriously.

                  "Keep playing FN Round 3" is not an option for me.The career mode sucked and after several online fights I just got burned out on the game. This review means absolutely nothing , because there is no hands on with the game.

                    i know but a linear career mode is horrible. FN3 is crap but it at least isn't linear. I only said that cuz im upset. im definitely Gameflying this but wtf yo!!

                      This will be a rental, we all knew something was going to go wrong with it. Especially when they put Don King's name on it.

                      Way to go 2ksports we wait years for you to get into the boxing game. And you pick Don ripoff King to promote it, and then give it a linear story mode. And a crap load of generic boxers! Why not legends like Ali and things like that. I mean come on!

                      By the way, love the graphic details, not sure about the movement, have to see in gameplay first.

                      (RENTAL) Not a purchase, unless I catch some disappointed kat trading it in at Lamestop for $15 to $20 I'll get it from him.

                        I still wonder how in the hell the career modes in these boxing games have regressed since FN: Round 2. All these idiots had to do was expand on that career mode in that game. Instead both games FN: Round 3 and Prizefighter have completely missed the point of what a boxing sim's career mode should be.

                            You call me a pessimist, I call myself a realist. The writing's on the wall that they blew it. Like they above poster said, all they had to do is expand on Fight Night Round 2's career mode and we'd be set. They had multiple weight classes with 50+ boxers per class. All we needed was 100+ boxers per class and multiple belt s per division. Should have been easy enough with the Xbox 360's processor. I also like how in Fight Night round 2, your created boxers would get sprinkled into the rankings, so I was fighting a ton of real boxers on my way up the charts.

                            I wanted multiple boxers in the stable. Multiple careers going at the same time, so me and a buddy could possibly cross paths, and a ton of boxers. Looks like this will fail on all counts. I'm disappointed to say the least.

                            They could have just followed they same model as victorious boxers: boxers road and we'd all be happy. But No......you have to follow some linear story that will kill the replay value.

                              Huge ****ing co-sign on that. although i don't remember round 2's career mode that much. What was wrong with it?
