That game ROCKS! Makes the last one look normal. I love the bit where you knock them out and it goes widescreen and then replays your knockouts. 8)

£75 off ebay! You should of got it in tesco like I did for £29.

I'm getting right into it, had my first loss in career mode last night I felt awful for about 5 minutes afterwards!!

Still a little too KO orientated not had one fight go the distance as yet.

"Tit for Tat Tit for Tat"

I would love some different music but cant have it all

Thought the first FN was good, but this is ten times better. I like the fact you can box more in this, jumping in and out of range making the other fella miss. Plus all the other little things, amateur career, clinching and the improved character creater.
I'd better stock up on weed and crisps, cos i'm not leaving me room for about 4 weeks

Yeah, the songs do suck... What the hell.

More Illegal fouls too like kneeing them in the goolies. Oh yeah boss graphics and the way they show the damage.

The game is beautiful, perfectly presented, imaginatively structured and it has some brilliant graphical ideas - the corner work is sublime, the creator fighter easy and effective - Junior Witter looks like JW.

The fighters move more realistically, both in and out of combat. The screens are well configured and easy to navigate.

EA have listened - this game is perfect.

One thing I'd like to add?

10 REAL fighters minimum in each division. Otherwise - perfect.

I don;t like the way they re-use fighters in two weight classes e.g Evander Holyfield at Heavy/Light Heavy. Aside from that everything is sound.

I'm really enjoying this game now. More could be done on the stats/career side, but the actual boxing is the best on any game yet (even if it could be a little less rockyish with its stupid haymakers etc). Once you get into the rythm of a fight, you really get the feeling of being "in the zone", it's very cleverly done. I have switched the commentary off, though, the annoying twat.
"Rev Porl", middleweight 32/4/0 30 KO's, ranked 16th... must stop taking on patsies and move up the rankings....
Knackered at work after playing till 2 AM
hmmm... maybe time for a break for a bit.....

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 30 Mar 2005, 06:11

The commentary was really fornicating annoying on the last one. It is something which is very very hard to do well on all sports games, because it tends to become very competitive. Think about it, how often do we all complain about REAL boxing commentary, so what chances are there that a computerised version from stock phrases is going to work.

The commentater comes out with some pearlers, my favourite being

" Whoa!!! He just avoided that life threatening haymaker!"

Yeah, and as he's saying it, I'm knocking the guy out...

The commentating is shit.

The music is shit.

The taunting is embarrassing.

And it's obvious whoever picked the stats for the actual boxers only had a general idea of the boxers, because they are quite sad. (Example- Norton's chin is better than Ali's)

And the game gets boring pretty fast... After that you can only play a couple of fights(Which only last 1-2 rounds anyways) at a time.

I'd give it a 7/10 tops...

kevo · Post by **kevo** » 31 Mar 2005, 09:37

Its better as a 2 player. Except when your mates are shit, and I keep knocking them out.

My biggest beef has always been with the stats personally, they are really off kilter with many of the fighters. Too many of the stats are too similar.

It strange really cos I thought the stats were pretty accurate for most fighters in the second knockout kings game but agree for the third KK and Fightnight 1 they were well off. If I remember correctly, in FN 1 Lamotta has better power than Robinson and Marciano has a crap chin.
