So you love your PS3 and you love your boxing? You loved Fight Night Round 3? Why spend money getting the newest offering then?

Fight Night Round 4 is a game which has taken what we were offered in it's little brother Fight Night Round 3 and then beaten it to a pulp with the step up quite amazing.
The game offers quite fantastic graphics that run smoothly yet remain sharp and lifelike and truly shows off the ability of the console and its high definition capabilities.
The control system has been overhauled for this years offering and now takes a true amount of skill to be able to master this game with there no longer being the ability to just button hit thanks to the improvements made and the fact that the control of punches is in the hands of the right control stick of your joypad.
The game is once again adorned with the great names of boxing past and present including such excellent names as Muhammed Ali, Ricky Hatton, Mike Tyson and many more across all of the weight ranges.
The physics of the game once again allow for realistic fighter damage, cuts and bruising with the corner once again having the ability to heal your boxer either through allowing automatic corner work or you taking the lead and healing your fighter yourself through following the instructions offered.
The game is simply put a stunning game with excellent control system, amazing graphics and offers great playability aswell as re-playability.
