In previous games, body punching damaged the opponents stamina more than head shots, but that was really the only difference. This makes the payoff feel that much better when you do land a counter punch.Īnother part of Round 3’s fighting system that has been overhauled is the difference between body and head punching. Because the timing has to be just right, counter punches are considerably more difficult to pull off. Counter punching is still a huge part of the fighting system, but counter punches only work when you carefully time either a dodge or a block. Although this was fun at times, the fighting system led to ridiculously unrealistic fights. In that system the player could parry any punch, which left the other player stunned long enough to be countered with a devastating haymaker. Round 3’s fighting system was plagued with parrying and haymaker counter punches. This makes Round 4’s fighting system very realistic and very rewarding. The effectiveness of each punch is affected by the distance away from the other fighter, whether your fighter or the other fighter is moving, the punching accuracy of your boxer, your boxer’s reach and fighting style, as well as your stamina at the time the punch is thrown. In Round 4 this has changed dramatically. In previous installments, the only variables taken into account when punches were thrown were whether or not the punch landed. Using the so-called Total Punch Control does have a somewhat steap learning curve, but once it’s understood and mastered the game really controls quite well. All punches, excluding signature punches and low blows, must be controlled with the right analog stick. Granted, many gamers (including myself) were upset to discover that the game does not allow the use of face buttons for punching. It is without reservation that I can say this Fight Night has the most realistic fighting system that I’ve seen in a boxing game, and it works quite well. The game has to have the controls and an overall feel that lend themselves to great gameplay. As far as apparel customization, this game offers more brands, colors, and fabrics than any other boxing game thus far.Īs with any game, looking great isn’t always enough. With the option to use a USB camera to implement your own face into the game, it is now easier than ever to create a boxer that looks like yourself. As if that wasn’t enough, EA has included a multitude of customization options for creating your own fighter. The boxers have a real-to-life look along with fighting styles that mimic the real boxers’ styles to a surprisingly accurate extent. The game’s roster includes 50 of the greatest boxers over the decades, and each of these boxers has been modeled to near perfection. Not only do the boxers look incredible, but there are tons to choose from. From the flexing of individual muscles to the glistening of each bead of sweat, this game looks better than anything before it. The first thing you’ll notice when playing Round 4 is how amazing the boxers look. Round 4 may not have lived up to all the hype, but it certainly gives us a very strong boxing game – likely the best boxing game to date. In the months leading up to its launch, Fight Night Round 4 was easily the most hyped installment in the series. Fight Night Round 4 continues in this strong tradition and gives gamers and boxing fans alike an experience available nowhere else.
FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 4 PC KICKASS SERIES
Since the series’ first release in 2004, the series has continued to show the gaming world what a boxing game should be. Possibly no other series has redefined and set the standard for its respective genre as Fight Night.
