Fight Night: Round 4

[cupid]

Was pretty keen on this game until I found out that you can only throw punches with the analog stick. You can't use the face buttons to throw punches any more. Super gay

Still a demo should be out in a couple weeks to download and try out. It will include Hatton and Pacquiao.

After playing the demo (which is amazing) there is noway that FNR4 would work with buttons.

Anyway this game has the best physics in any sports game I have ever seen, everytime you watch the instant replay you can see the rippels in their face after each punch you throw, and you can see their muscles flex as they throw a hook or haymaker.

The gameplay is more fast and fluid than FNR3, you dont just stand infront of each other holding down LT throwing counter punches, alot more footwork is involved, the jab is alot more important also. There is also no minigame after each round to reduce swelling and cuts, instead you have the choice to increase your health, stamina or decrease damage, depending how well you go through the previous round you are given points to spend on each after each round.

After going back to play FNR3 after, It is shocking to see how much better it is. Anyway this is a definite buy for me, if anyone has any questions about the demo ask me.

Up until FNR3 I had only used the buttons and to a certain extent would button mash, but gave the analouge a shot in R3. If you give it a fair go you will never go back, the combos are far more realistic, you can throw better haymakers, defence becomes easier and it all just feels much more realistic.

F***in bullsh*t, Just learnt that Mundine will be featuring on the Australian cover of FNR4 instead of Tyson, that means I will be buying my copy from overseas.

 

[BeeeeeRad]

Lol what a joke. I Pray we don't get that sh*t over here. If Shane Cameron was on the game he would be a certainty to get it, so I guess we get Tyson.

Not very smart marketing wise, but I'll enjoy watching people hesitantly buying it.

That's stupid IMO.

So what that he is Aussie, i'm sure the standard Tyson/Ali cover attracts people world wide.

PlayAsia will be getting my business.

No, the only playable characters are Pac-Man and Hitman. Why don't you just download the demo anyway.
