I have never bought a boxing game before. But After I downloaded the FNR3 demo, I just had to buy it the next day.
This game is unbelivable. The first thing you will notice is the
remarkable graphics. The boxers jsut look so real. You can actually see
the sweat on the boxers during the fight. And when you punch someone
you can see the sweat and his blood gush out from him. hahaha. The only
problem with the graphics are everyone else, for example the girl that
hold the card saying what round it is. Also the crowd. There is only
like 4 different models, and they all do the same thing.
The sounds are great as well. Its really disgusting when you knock
someone down and they show you the replay. When your fist makes contact
with the other guys face, you jsut hear the bones cracking and the
blood moving around in his mouth, its reallly nasty the first time you
hear it.
Its quite fun. Highly Addictive. It has an online mode which is great when you want to play against your friends and pwn them.
The gameplay only got an 8 from me because you are expected to fight
with the analog stick, which I found to be a little tough. You can use
the buttons though, but it was made to use the analog stick.
Also, when you look at your stats matched up against another player,
the numbers are really hard to read LOL! I know this is a wierd thing
to say, but sometimes it seems like my opponents stats are all at 99
while mine are in the 60's or 70's. It just gets frustrating when you
cant distinguish a 6 from an 8 or a 9.
Anyways, buy this game, you'll love it. If you're still not sure, download the demo. :)
