Fight Night 2004
Overall: Once you get a handle on the Total Punch Control, it's a really fun game. I wouldn't rent it, though. It takes awhile (or at least, took me awhle) to get used to.Gameplay: Using the right stick, you punch. Cool, but not when you get really excited and start flinging the thing around.
I also have a real problem with blocking. You use the right stick in conjunction with the right trigger. Since punching should be thought out and blocking reactive, I would have make a configuration in which you can reverse that, or at least with blocking very, very simple.
Graphics: When you hit a guy in the 9th round and see a spurt of blood leave his head, you get a bit excited.
The arenas (or dingy gyms) look great, the detail is good, the camera work is a bit weird to get used to though.
Audio: The sounds are good, but Tigger is a bit annoying (couldn't we get HBO commentators in here? And where the heck is Michael Buffer?)
This game was made for the BET crowd, because they not only put in all hip hop, they put in all bad hip hop. Or at least, not music you would associate with the raw aggression and high energy that is boxing. I'm not necessarily asking for Static X or Monster Magnet, I'm not fussy. Just something that doesn't start with 'check 1 2 uh uh yeah uh' and make me want to sleep.
Suggestions: Vary the music!! Also, it would have been cool to have a few more classic fighters. Joe Louis and George Foreman come to mind right away. Maybe other newer fighters, like Wladimir Klitschko, so I could have won a few fights at the beginning.
