Fight Night holds the crown of boxing right now. You can’t beat the lineup of fighters on the card. Everyone is still wondering where Mike Tyson is though...
Last year marked a new age of video game Boxing as EA brought out it’s new total punch control. They kept last years great system and added onto it. You are now able to punch while moving and block while moving which was much needed. The addition of clinches that everyone wanted is there also. The big new gameplay feature is the Haymaker which requires some extra stick control. This feature needs some work but overall the controls are much improved.

PRESENTATION
8.0
Luckily Big Tigger is gone from last year and a new announcer has been added giving the game a more professional feel. The interface has been much improved also. It’s better but still needs a lot of work. Real life replica’s of fighters ring entrances would add a lot to the presentation.
SOUND

The soundtrack on this game is good and the crowd gets more involved than last year.
