FIGHT NIGHT CHAMPION ROM PS3 SERIES

There's a lot of little things that add up to deliver an entertaining boxing experience. You're able to punch around a block to land a fight-changing punch. Well-timed and well-placed hits to the head knock someone out for good. The sense of realism in the game really shines through if you want to tire out a boxer, you need to work on his body. It's a shame that legacy mode is a waste, since Champion's gameplay is completely top-notch. A timer was running, and although the timer ran out before I completed the combo run, I wasn't punished and pushed on to the next fight. But these are not only more work than fun, they're also seemingly pointless. To make matters worse, legacy mode features various training 'mini games' to help boost your boxer's stats, which are pretty poor at the start. For all of the shortcomings I found with the story of Andre Bishop, it was able to at least keep me playing longer than I anticipated I wanted to see what happened next. First and foremost, there's neither urge of discovery nor any motive to push forward. Similar to past Fight Night games, legacy allows you to create your own boxer and rise through the ranks of the boxing world. While the game's story isn't a total loss (it's at least mildly entertaining), legacy mode is a disaster. This doesn't happen nearly enough, sadly. The music was kicking in and I was in the zone, only to be further impressed to hear Brian Kenny talk about my match and the impact it had on the boxing world. After a rather blunt speech from my trainer, the next round began. In one memorable bout, I had to KO my opponent because the judges were bought off. From time to time, I was interested in a match. The speed of the transitions caused me to lose interest I didn't care about each fight. The story mode is non-stop you'll watch a cutscene, be thrown into a fight without motive, and then be treated with a new cutscene and new fight all but five minutes later. Champion's story mode follows the tale of Andre Bishop, weaving between cutscenes and fights. Speaking of the story, I was anticipating it with hopeful enthusiasm. There's an obvious sense of brutality within Champion, whether it's the detail of the cuts and bruises boxers are given (blood routinely seems to find a home on your shorts) or the darkness the game's story has to offer. Let's waste no time and address one of the elephants in the room: Champion is the first ever EA Sports game published with a Mature rating, and it's quite clear from the get go. On the surface, there's a lot of good to be found in Champion, but it's what was found underneath that hurts. Champion offers a darker view of boxing, possibly one that's even more realistic you're given the chance to play through the story of a boxer's journey from amateur ranks to a possible championship bout, feel the violence of a match first hand, and have more control of where your punches land.

Now EA Canada has decided that they want to further improve the formula of the series with its latest entry, Fight Night Champion. It leapt onto the scene with the visually stunning Fight Night Round 3 back in 2006 and polished the gameplay with 2009's Fight Night Round 4. The Fight Night series is arguably one of the best sports franchises seen this generation.
