Fight Night Round 3 is a boxing simulation developed by EA Chicago that has been released on multiple platforms.
Gameplay
Fight Night Round 3 puts you in the shoes of a boxer starting off as an amateur working your way up the ladder. The game utilizes the right and left analog sticks for ultimate control punches and dodges. The control scheme really makes it feel like you are throwing the punches by simply sliding the analog stick diagonally right you can throw a simple jab and to hook simply curve the motion. The game features button mapped control schemes as well for those users who prefer them. The game has many modes career being the most involving. In career mode you can create your own boxer or rebuild one of the legends like Sugar Ray Leonard or Muhammad Ali. When you start off as an amateur your boxer will wear full head gear to protect him from cuts and bruises. At each and every fight you earn money that you can spend in the fight shop to buy new gloves,mouth guard, shorts etc... Some of these items will have bonuses like 10 to your speed attribute. Also in the fight shop you can buy new signature punches,taunts and outfit your boxer with some tattoos.
Once you have surpassed amateur rank your boxer will no longer use the head gear leaving him fully open to getting cut or clobbered. The game features a cut man that you control in between rounds. You have the options to heal cut's and reduce swelling with an ice pack. You simply control the cut man's hand by going left to right on the analog stick. While you help to fix your boxer your trainer will be letting you know how you did and who won the round. He will give you advice as to whether you need to counter more or start protecting your face.
As you move your way up the ranks you go to different events like the Everlast or Dodge tournaments where you can win alot of money and even some gear. In the Burger King event you earn the opportunity to have the King come out with you as your trainer. Each trainer gives you benefits in your training routines before a match there are 4 trainers in the game including the King. Before each fight you must train and the game does this through a series of mini games. There is Combo Dummy where you practice hitting quick high low punching combinations. Weight Lifting where the analog sticks act as your arms you must lift weights only bringing them up to a certain point on the scale. There is then the punching bag where you practice hitting high and low when told to. If you want to just practice you can do that in the Sparring selection where you just practice against another boxer.
All in all the career mode offers plenty of fights and character development to keep you busy for awhile. The game also features and ESPN Classics mode where you play historical fights with real boxers kind of a challenge mode. There is also of course the standard fight now mode where you can just choose 2 boxers and duke it out choosing any venue you unlocked to do it in. The PlayStaion 3 version added one new mode when it released later. They added a Get in the ring mode where you duke it out in first person. All you see are your arms the game plays the same as the other modes but from a different perspective. It can get fairly disorienting as the screen gets purple and red as well as starts to close in if you get hit in the face enough. The screen acts as your vision so the worse condition your are the harder it is to see. Fight Night Round 3 is worth checking out for boxing fans and others alike.
