This game is hands down the BEST boxing game out there. Boxing fans will appreciate this game more simply because of the realism and past/present boxers featured. On top of it all you can create your own fighter. Play it once and tell me you dont like it.
This game is pretty old and is still a fantastic game! Gameplay and control is very solid and the graphics are phenomenal.
This is a fun game for about 1 day. If you sit down and play it you can beat the game in 6-8 hrs. There is an upside to this though, it will give you 1000 gamerpoints when you unlock all the achievements!!
What a great game. I am a boxing instructor and love this game. The graphics are fantastic. The characters actually look like the boxing legends they are supposed to portray. The ability to make a character in your own image is kind of creepy to see. If you take a little time you can get it to look just like you. It gave me chills to see myself in the ring with Roy Jones Junior and Mohammed Ali. The gameplay as a heavyweight can be a little slow as the big boys struggle around the ring and seem to tire quickly. But, when the power punches come it's like you are there. The gameplay is very realistic and technically this is an acurate game. I am sure I will be playing this one for a while.
I downloaded a demo of this game over Xbox Live, and I must say that the graphics are by far the best of any game I've played on the 360. The gameplay is impressive as well. The slow motion replays of the devastating punches are very cool as well. Overall, it just feels like you're in the game. The demo sold me on this game.
Years after it has been out, I bought this game and still find it holds well against current titles of similar nature. This game is so realistic and relieves stress so well, it could have won the noble peace prize. The fighting mechanics and gameplay are so fluid and tight, that it is a true skills game. Novices will get massacred in one haymaker, so don't go blindly into hard modes thinking that it is just a button-mashing game. At the price you can get this game used, it gets a gold rating from me. Not perfect, but overall a benchmark for fighting games everywhere.
Well what can i say, amazon service was great but when i got this game and try it in my console it wont work. It says like version incompatiblity, well i check out amazon specs and didn't find anything that might prevent for not playing this game. if only i knew regarding region games that can only work in other region i wouldnt spend time and money buying this game at amazon.
Stunning graphics. Great controller layout. Great career mode. Super fun on-line gameplay.
OXM (official xbox magazine) rated this game 10 out of 10 and I would have to agree. This is an incredible game. must have.
there are too many good things about this game to list...the amazing graphics which you HAVE to have an HDTV because the detail is crazy!, you have the option to create your own boxer starting from the ground up... and when i say create i mean CREATE. you can basically make the boxer look EXACTLY like you. its unbelievable to me how they do this. you also have the chance to reenact famous fights... ali-frazier, b hop-de la hoya, etc. theyve also made this slow motion knockout replay that is intense. you have to see it...its awesome AND hilarious between the ripples in the face and the sweat,spit, and blood flying from their head. the only beef that i have is as you get deeper into the game it obviously gets harder. its definatly not a button masher game. thats what i do in fighting games (because i suck at them)but you cant just go in there and press a bunch of buttons and get away with it. you actually have to block and parry. but thats a minor discrepancy. i still love this game and definatly recommend it to everyone who owns a 360.
Thank you very much your product was just as described and delivered faster than anticipated!
This game is a great boxing game and it is great because it doesnt take itself too seriously and it is very fun.
I've browsed the previous reviews, and agree with most that's been said. This *is* the best of the series. The graphics are ridiculously good. The control is terrific. For once, you really have a feel for how the fight is going, rather than relying upon health and stamina bars that just (in this reviewer's opinion) take away from the realism -- although they are an option. On the hardest difficulty, the game is absolutely a challenge, at least once your career really gets underway. You will be knocked down, you may even lose some fights, this wasn't necessarily the case in previous versions. Creating faces on character generation is much smoother and more intuitive now. The sound is fantastic. The ring girl's breasts actually jiggle when they strut around the ring between rounds.
Everything is great, really, it's a terrific addition to your XB360 library. Online is fun, there are ranked and non- matches, it's fast and easy to get a fight, another outstanding aspect to the game that will dramatically increase its longevity.
Great! So we got all that aside, I can talk about the commercials.
I've never seen a more over-the-top case of commercialism in the game. Is this a complaint? Yes and no. I mean, watch basically any boxing match, there are going to be ads on the ring canvas, on the ropes, in the arena, even on the shorts of some of the boxers. So there's just some realism here. Does it go overboard though? Yes, I'm absolutely prepared to say it does. Before some fights, you'll be 'treated' to a 360 degree view of a new Dodge truck while the announcer tells you about it. That doesn't seem too bad, right? Okay, later, Burger King's "The King" will escort another fighter into the ring and dance around before the fight. No, that doesn't get your goat either? How about after that fight, when "The King" actually becomes one of your available trainers? That's right, you too can be trained by, and have in your corner, a creepy guy with a giant plastic grinning mask.
Look, I'm not one of those types that goes off the deep-end about stuff like this -- but EA, are you listening? If you're going to throw it in our faces like this, while lining your already deep pockets with the ad revenue that you get from these placements, how about giving us a break on the cost of the game? We're paying for it, the advertisers are paying for it, wouldn't it seem fair to throw the consumers you're force feeding ad content a bone? Here's the thing, it doesn't have to be a big bone, and it gives us less reason to feel as used and abused as many of us are when the suspension of disbelief within a game/simulation like this is *shattered* by having to train with "The King". In fact, then we can cheer the gross commercialism, because we got something out of it too, a few bucks saved.
Terrific game. Worth buying, not just renting. 5 stars for the game, 1 off for taking advantage of me as a fan and customer. I should really ding it harder for that, but the game is too fun to let something sort of sleazy take away from it.
This is a GREAT game, specially if you play it with your buddies on a Friday night. Is just an awesome game.
I love fighting games, I can't hardly wait to see if EA does an MMA game similar to this one, that'll be the greatest thing ever!!!! PrideFC or UFC game with this graphics and reality!!!
Watching this game in high def is like actually being in the ring. The superb picture quality and amazing graphics are what set the bar for this fighting game. A must have for anyone who just wants to show off their 360. EA sports has shown me they can more than create a great game.
compren este juego si esta el `merisimo pene erecto!! ta buenisisisisisimo!! puta mucha la mera talega!! uuuu siii la mera verga!!
