EA Sports Fight Night 2004 review:4 stars (Great game) - I've yet to play Fight Night Round 2... But I must say this is a really fun game. It has great control, great graphics and is pretty realistic. I don't know alot about real boxing, but this game had a decent number of characters and most of the big names I've heard of... Of course the create a boxer and move up the ranks is the highlight of the game. It's a journey that can take a while, but it's worthy.
Also, you are provided with some decent fun training courses that help build up you're endurance, power, agility and such and that adds alittle to the game.
The boxing matches are rather fun. The block button works very well which is a suprise to me. The punches look very realistic with the exception of some of the special punches which are really worthless and suck up the stamina meter and so you are better off not bothering with them.
One thing I really like is that you can't got out there just brawling and throwing wild punches or it will drain the stamina meter and you will be open to some VERY nasty upcuts and such. It can be alittle frustrating until you figure this out.
Why not 5 stars?
Well, I believe some fighters simply jump around too much and it was made this way to draw fights out. When you get further up in the ranks you are force to be a cat chasing a mouse because a number of the fighters will just dance around with the health meter builds. And obviousally when you chase so much it leaves you open to hits and at a huge disadvange.
I know they did it to help draw fights out to the 7+ rounds but it just gets on my nerves. Other than that it is a really good game.
4 stars.4 stars (A knockout of a video game!) - As an avid boxing fan, I bought this game and I've been addicted to it. This is one of the video games I play the most. The graphics are great and the punch control is outstanding. The only thing that I don't like about this game is that career mode is too damn tough. Other than that, it's a great game to have. And it has great songs on here to boot. The songs on here are great pump up songs. A must buy for the true fans of sports and boxing!4 stars (Gorgeous Control) - This is quite possibly the best boxing game ever! (once you get over the nostalgia of Mike Tyson's Punch-out...) The graphics are sweet even though video games are still plagued by the ongoing difficulty of generating the human face; but what the game lacks in graphics it more than makes up for in control of your boxer, it is amazing! Each punch becomes completely intuitive and impact varies based on multiple factors (positioning, transitioning, fatigue, etc.) I love a game that lets you advance in the ranks against a myriad of opponents while increasing your skills via training routines on the side. In the spirit of tradition, you get to choose where you want to advance specific skill levels. Each match is totally unique with regards to AI strategy and opponent attributes, so you have to change your own strategy to compensate; you can't just keep doing the same moves and that rocks huge becuase games with glitches suck. Anyway, the coolest part might be how much can configure your own boxer to look like you; so many attributes at your disposal. Or even better, you can configure the boxer to look like one of your friends and then let him get pummeled on easy levels against non-opponents... It's hilarious to watch a computerized version of your best friend just sit there and take it in the face over and over by the equivalent of a Glass Joe until he drops and gets counted out, hahahaha it never gets old. If you like boxing, or you hate your friends, you have to get this game...
