Fight Night Round 3 (PS3)

"Your Gonna Eat Lightening And Crap Thunder" the immortal words of micky from the rocky films rang through my mind as i created my boxer for career mode in EA's epic fight night round 3. I couldn't wait to hit the ring and throw a few punches as this was my first boxing title i'd invested in since the original "knockout kings" that i loved. Besides i had an ulterior motive.. I had to get good so i could whip my freinds ass around the ring (what with him being ex uk amateur champ an all). So i find myself in my first fight after my initial training (during which i was goaded on by my coach who sounded somewhat like the micky charachter ...  Read the complete review

Fight Night, from EA Sports, is quickly becoming the best boxing franchise on the market and this latest version, the first for the PS3, is proof of this. Fight Night 3 features unbelievable levels of graphical detail and really shines when it goes into slow motion for the heavy punches. The shots of mouthguards and blood spraying out of the boxers' mouths are memorable to say the least. You start by creating your own fighter for career mode and the levels of customisation abilities are second to none. You could easily spend a few hours in this section alone. Once you have done that the fights and training begins. You start out pretty ...  Read the complete review

Fight Night Round 3 comes with a number of boxers included in the game including Muhammad Ali, Ricky Hatton and Oscar De Le Hoya. The graphics in the game have been done very well with new camera angles put in the game to make the action in the ring look more realistic than ever. First impressions when playing this game was awesome as you could target your opponent for shots on the face and on the body too easily in the game now. You could easily see blood coming out and also sweat when you hit them. This just made playing the game feel much more realistic in the game. I enjoyed playing the game on the career mode where you could fight up the ranks ...  Read the complete review

I got this game about a week ago for my PS3 and I have played it quite alot already, so I thought Id submit a review to give you an idea of my opinion. I played the original fight night for the ps3 a few years back and found it to be very addicting. The training followed by a fight makes for quite and addictive gaming system which you wont be able to switch off. I did find the game a bit repetitive in the end though, and also fairly easy on the normal setting. Onto round 3, and all the same points exist. Its an excellent addictive game, but literally nothing has changed since the last one i played (much the way EA normally work I suppose). Dont get ...  Read the complete review

Have you ever wanted to be the next Muhammad Ali? Well now is your chance to put you money where your fists are and get in the ring. I don't think that the game is for our younger players not because of the amount of blood that you see, its the fact that the game can be a little annoying (well, when you are losing anyway). The graphics are good for the fighters but the crowd is somewhat a little, laughable, you will see them either repeat what they have just done or looking like paper. The soundtrack is pretty cool for the first ten times you load the game but after listening to Akon in the same point you did last time you start to annoyed and just end up turning the ...  Read the complete review
