Is anybody else looking forward to this? I just played the demo and I think it's by the far the best boxing game ever. The fighting no longer seems as robotic and the individual boxers seem to retain their own styles. The controls are way easier than they were Fight Night Round 4 but since the fights have been made more realistic, everything's faster. Meaning, I'm gonna have to get the hang of this before I can hope to knock anyone out. I like that you can now use the X,Y,B,A buttons to throw punches now as well as the previous right stick method. The draw backs of the demo are that you only get three rounds and you only get four playable characters. Ali, Tyson, Paquiano and some bald guy I've never heard of. The graphics are pretty good too. But to test them properly, I'd have to try it on my Plasma screen downstairs. The commentry is still repetative and annoying. I wonder if they'll include commentators from other nationalities on the real version of the game? I doubt it but it would be a nice feature. I think Duke McKenzie is a great boxing commentator. Japanese could be interesting too.

Fast, fluid, more realistic, better lookiing and easier to control. This looks to be a great title.

I'm not sure why Marciano isn't there or Mayweather. I also think it would have been cool to include English heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. Ah well, maybe they've improved the character creation enough so that I can make him. Unlike the last one where the height only went up to 6,8 and all the faces looked the same.

The reason why Mayweather wasn't in it was because he wanted them to dish out millions of dollars for his likeness, and a possible chance to get his actual name in the title.

But yeah, I'm pretty bugged about Marciano not being in it. What the hell? What about Dempsey? Tunney? Walcott?

"Jersey" Joe Walcott was a highly under - estimated boxer. He KO'd Ezzard Charles, in my opinion a top 20 heavyweight.

I'd have Walcott in a top 20 as well. He also had a great jab and left hook.
But what I really don't understand is the fact they have Butterbean. What a freaking bum. He's just a fat blob.

But yeah, I absolutely can't wait. I'm a bit of a boxing nerd. Go on, quiz me.

I´am pretty pissed. Forgetting about Rocky "The Brockton Blockbuster" Marciano is one thing, but forgetting about Joe "The Brown Bomber" Louis?! They putted in Fight Night Round 2 Rocky Marciano in and suddenly stopped. Also, why not Max Schmelling too, he is a great German Boxer and a legend. I agree with Naruto-Gogeta, this is pretty pathetic by the makers. Overall, the game looks good, and I´am gonna buy it most likely, cause i just love boxing.
Once upon a time, there used to be a signature. Then it got lame, and now I'm out of options for a new one.

I've just had a thought. Maybe Marciano and Joe Louis are just too overkill for the game? The sheer awesomeness might just overload the console and blow up your tv. But seriously, wtf right? I'm still going to buy it of course. If the demo is good then surely the final product must be even better.

Actually, i think you are right about that. Rocky Marciano was in Fight Night Round 2 probably one of the.. best boxer´s you can play, he is durable and strong, and he can get knocked out like.. five times per round and he still was able to get up even after the worst beating, also, i dominated everyone with him.

Imagine Joe Louis in this. That would be one ra-

Oh yeah, not allowed say that word.

It would be awesome.
But what the hell happened to Joe Walcott? He had an excellent jab. One of the best, in my opinion.

I don't like the controls in this one too much. I can't do stuff I use to do in the older games.

I like them better. Yes it's more difficult but it looks less robotic and it feels more realistic. I still haven't quite got the hang of it though.

I liked the analog stick more, it felt a bit more realistic.

Exactly, but they put *****ing "Butter-Bean" in, who lost to an out of prime Larry Holmes? Blasphemy. Put that fat prick out of the game and put a real boxer in.

Agreed. Like, seriously. They put in a fat blob instead of a very talented boxer.
