E3 2009 First Impressions Review: FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 4

So some guy came up to me at the E3 convention and asked if I wanted to fight him. I never turn down a challenge! So I took him up on his offer, and we battled it out in a boxing match unlike any other boxing match I have been in before! And just for the record, I kicked his ass.

I have seen the trailers for this game, and all of the amazing new features that it has. But nothing compares to actually getting your hands on the controller and getting them bloody. Fight Night Round 4 rocks the house of pain!

The game is fast and furious. You get right into the action, if boxing was a real sport, this is what it would be like. Wait. What? Since most of us will never get into the ring for real, then this is the game that will put us in a place we would rather not be in, in real life. It's most likely the only situation where you can throw out some hardcore punches at someone's face, and not get hurt in return. The only hurt you will feel is the shame of loosing.

The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen in a game. These boxers look and move in the most realistic and natural ways. The sweat and blood that spatters out of the characters when you hit them, gets in your face! One of the coolest things about the game is the replay. You can watch your fight and control how you watch it. Slowing those great hits down and watching them at different angles is amazing.

The details that EA has put in this game are brilliant. The way the body moves, the skin stretching, and the muscles flexing when a punch is thrown or when a boxer is hit, is sickly cool.

I was in an excited awe as I played this game. I am definitely going to buy this one. If you enjoyed the first three, this will make your head explode.
