It’s Fight Night – For the Fourth Time

If you’re the sort of person who loves the strategy in boxing just as much as the fun of it, Fight Night Round 4 (see GameSpot review) might actually give you a boxing game that you’ll enjoy. With one match options, a fun and varied career mode, and a pretty entertaining and responsive online multiplayer option, this game has a lot to offer.

For the people who just like to pick two fighters and go at it, the game controls are sensitive and the response to any given move can have a huge number of potential outcomes. The visuals are impressive and the sounds are even more so. You can even make yourself a character by uploading a few pictures and spending some time tweaking their appearance on the game interface.

The legacy mode offers even more variety, combining matches that you choose and set with training, working your way up the stats, and securing your title once you have it. Complete with strategic ways to spend points you earn during the fights and interesting (if a little difficult) minigames that help build your character’s stats, it’s easy to see why trying to become a boxing legend can be so addictive.

For even more fun, try the online gameplay, which has an Online World Championship mode, ranking you against every other player with a profile in the online game. Here, your strategy can really shine while you enjoy the solidly responsive controls and consistently impressive sound effects. In the event that you get matched with someone who’s really willing to put some effort and thought into play rather than just pummeling you mindlessly and leaving prematurely if they lose, this game can shine.
