Great game to release some anger
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. :)
