Just a look who is on the cover is the primary reason any gamer/boxer fan should buy this game. The gameplay is great and along with how the boxers move. If you play with Tyson you can bob and weave as you make your way inside to land body shots on your opponennt. EA Sports did a great job of getting each and every fighters boxing style down. Thomas Hearns and James Toney have the best feel as far as playing with them. My personal favorites to use are Winky Wright, Pernell Whitaker and Vivan Harris. Old school George Foreman is a beast too. The stamina and chin attributes are great when it comes to certain fighters. I like the game due to the challenges you get from fighting an Ali, Lennon Lewis Roy Jones and so on. You have to use a strategy in regrads to whoever you are fighting unless its Tyson vs Eddie Chambers or Ali vs Tommy Morrison.Read full review
At first, I wasn't pleased with the game at all. They had only made this game with the Total Control Punch ie., the joystick. I was used to using the buttons from previously playing FNR3, so this made it much more difficult for me. I did the tutorials severals times, just couldn't get it, but because of people who had the same love for the button configuration, EA released a DLC which contained two new configs with the buttons. Once I had that, this game became great. The graphics are very great, and the legacy mode they have where you can create your own boxer or make a new one was very unique from the third.
Before this game the Fight Night series was always a fun way to spend with friends. Sure it was a bit goofy like most EA Sports games because things happen in such an unrealistic fashion, but since it's a video game it was no bother. The total punch control was what made the Fight Night series better than the previous Knockout Kings series, and in this game it's very on point. What I love is that they keep the rotation for most punches, but they let you tap the joystick in one direction for body hooks and body uppercuts just to give you another quick strike besides your jab and straight. Unlike the new game Champion this game doesn't solely rely on moving the joystick in one direction for all punches. This keeps the total punch control that keeps the game from being a button masher, and your punches flow well. Where this game is much better than the previous three installments is the improvement in the defensive game. Before you could block and guess which direction your opponent is going to attack all day long and parry their shots for some easy counters. Here the parry is gone, and it's replaced by a similar counter strike opportunity where the game temporarily slows down for a second for a photo counter. What's different is that you can't just hold block the whole time because your effectiveness in blocking decreases while you are holding the right trigger to block, so you have to use it wisely or risk taking damage. Want to weave and counter? Great, it's the same method, but this time your stamina doesn't get replenished when you are holding down the left trigger, so you can't just hold the trigger down and wait for your opponent. It makes for some really good strategy that keeps the game from being too gimmicky. I like that it doesn't take 6 knock downs to completely take out the opponent anymore. It's still a bit funny, but it's not real life so I'm fine with it. I think that this is the best boxer game because it allows you to have fun without being too gimmicky. It's a good balance of fun and strategy.Read full review
