Fight Night 2004
Overall: The king of boxing games hands down!I would have to say this is one of the best boxing games I have seen to date.
Gameplay: First day I had issues with the total control punch system. I personally don't care for it and after switching to controller config 5 or 6 it plays out much better. The hits are great, the damage better. Taking your boxer from a nobody to a top contender is one hell of a ride! There are plenty of customization options and the training is really good as well. Even enjoy the sparring and it is best to go train as you can aquire the 15 max stat attribute points to use. If you auto train you get 4 points to use a sheer waste. Once you get the game down it is still tricky even at easy mode because my hands get so tired alot of hand work here. It is not about charging and hitting you really need to think a strategy for each boxer you confront. Some like to dance alot and you need to get in hit and back off.
Graphics: The visuals I think are excellent. The best I have seen in a boxing game to date for a console. Lots of sweat and blood flying the punch's are nice. The venue's look great as do the npc characters especially your bikini babes. Ther are alot of effects you can purchase through your career as well firewroks, doves, music, etc. different outfits for the girls, customized gear. Visually this game rocks.
Audio: I have had no issues with the sound at all everything works great so far. The hits sound great, the fans are there, the npc chatter etc.
Suggestions: The one thing that does not work for me personally is the total fight control with the right thumbstick. It's too troublesome and the controller config 5/6 works best. Also the lip synch for the dialouge of your trainers during rounds is way off. One other issue I have had a few times is the fact that I could not plant my feet and hit body shots. I disconnected and reconnected my controller and that seemed to fix it. This happens with another controller I tried also so it is a in game issue. Also very disappointed with the music selection. I don't care for rap music and would have liked to see more of a mix. A spanish fighter might for instance play something from his heritage I don't know more musical selection. Other than these minor things I love this game great job!
