So...Fight Night then!

Hehe.. Absolutely loving this demo!

Graphics are superb but there are a few glitches (camera in replay goes a bit iffy at points).

Currently throwing around loads of punches like theres no tomorrow and my hit percentage is pretty pap (231 puches thrown and only 53% of them landed lol!). No idea how you counter but they look pretty devastating if you time it right.

Never really been into fighting games and never ever played a boxing game but I'll seriously consider buying this.

It's very good but I still prefer the orginal fight night game tbh, I never liked FNR2 that much and this is somewhat similar (and better so far) with vastly improved graphics and tweaks by the look of it. I'd prefer it if the speed was more realistic, the guys look a bit like there punching in a swimming pool. Honestly, the way the come out in round 1 is like how they should come out in round 7 or 8.

oh the joys of knocking people out with an elbow

Sutters · 6 Jan 2006 at 00:43

There wern't any uppercut and body haymakers in the second game were there? T'was just hooks wan't it? The uppercut one seems very powerful indeed.

I just love the fact theres no HUD, really adds immersion to the game.

I was thinking at first "How the hell do I know the health state of myself/opponent?"

The commentator, brusing to the fighters, cuts, shoulders dropping, staggering around, the sound of the fighters breathing more heavily are all fantastic indications.

Just watched the long in game video on xboxdye the fighters look amazing but background looks dull especially characters around the ring would anyone agree. ?

It's much easier to play as Bernard Hopkins. I can win by KO every time.

Best I've done with Roy Jones Jr is a draw.

Absolutely immense game....

Ahh thats why i missed it as i hardly ever go into Genral.

Thx anyway.

Cant say I was overly impressed by the demo, its not bad but I thought apart from a few nice 'sweat' effects on the models the graphics were so-so. I think the textures would actually appear quite poor if it wernt for the fancy effects on top.

Seriously does nobody else feel that the punches seem a little slow?

Yup i do, dont seem to have much power either, feels like your tapping your opponent??

You're not hitting properly then, use signature moves and uppercuts. If you jab or don't connect properly then all you're gonna do is tire yourself out. When you land a haymaker you'll know about it

Kainz · 6 Jan 2006 at 11:27

Just played as Roy Jones but it's too hard, the guy is a total wimp

The speed of the punches is pretty decent to me, you need to hang back and wait for an opening and then send in a flurry of left/right hooks if possible. My best is a full KO by round 2.

If you throwing out punches quicker than you can blink then you will get tired and your punches will becomes slow/weak.

Using a combination of the buttons and the stick is great.. pin then in the corner then hit ABAB and on the last b start making the motion for an uppercut on the analogue stick .. dropped him with that sweet combo.

Then he got up and i elbowed him in the face ¬_¬

bingham67 · 6 Jan 2006 at 15:53

no one commented on the background i brought up it seems abit poor fighters awesome background looks like a ps2 game. ?

melchy · 6 Jan 2006 at 15:58

Does the other boxer learn your fighting style ? It seems a bit like that to me. I could beat Jones easily with Hopkins until recently and now it takes a real effort to beat him. Pretty cool if its got some sort of adaptive AI.
