Fight Night Champion Video Review

[FightNightOnlineHD]

Great game! 10/10

[filmneek]

this is the best sport game ever

[sipher100]

Career mode is awesome

[THEFISH080]

i love the career mode

[Dedmon319]

This game is nothing more than a glorified version of rock-em sock-em robots. I'd give it a 5

[neviusprime]

Boxing may be dead but this series continues to rock. At least the Sweet Science hasn't totally disappeared.

[WolfxGang36]

buy this. i got it off amazon for $23$ totally worth it, love the champion mode; you actually feel the emotion

[byraheem]

Is there a new Fight Night coming out anytime soon guys or should I just buy this?!

[hotshahzrulz]

@byraheem buy this

[NoxDeadly]

Career mode was the shit btw fuck wat he said, it was like a movie, only downside is you have to fight Goku at the end

[NoxDeadly]

They gotta nerf those fucking body punches, in real life if i uppercut u while your trying to combo by body you WILL be fuckin stunned, but oh no not in FNC where its better to block an uppercut with your chin then to have it completely miss you, its nearly impossible to get a body spammer off u

[ViceCityVacation]

Don't care what anyone says and fuck IGN, this is one of the best fight games behind Mike Tyson's Punch Out 1987. This makes you feel like a boxer, while UFC Undisputed just feels like you and a friend picking up a controller for a couple of hours and mashing buttons. UFC games look alot shitter too, the character models look and move akwardly/clunky. Guess it's cause they have to do more, than just box though.

[DGKallDAY445]

Getting this game and ufc undisputed 2010 bye bye mw3... :)

[bunghole211]

@DGKallDAY445 it's worth the investment they are both the shit but I would go for UFC undisputed 3 instead

[DGKallDAY445]

@bunghole211 too late! :)

[MMAANALYSIS101]

this game is really fun if you know the art behind boxing

[MrRyland04]

i miss those blisters...loved fight night 3, didnt care to much for 4.

[Tizzley]

But i like the old clumsy analog stick controls. Thats why i play skate instead of tony hawk....

[TheVisualante]

@Tizzley You still use the analog controls for boxing in fight night, but its made more intuitive its easier to put more 1 2 punches and connect different types of punches together

[micronux]

When they mean bad do they mean worse than the 3,4 or bad as in same old same old?

[bunghole211]

fight night champion needs to work on it's legacy mode I was 17-2 trying to get the GOAT achievement but once I hit 18-2 I just didn't give a shit anymore it was boring as hell UFC undisputed 2010 has a better career mode at least they could keep me interested through my entire career

[DJBucca]

I miss the controls for fight night round 3.

[ORENGEcarot]

the game looks so awesome !!!!

[shownomrcy]

Oh my fucking god...same old game with a new coat of paint? These idiots can't seem to see that in the COD series. 8.5 for non boxing fans. 9.5 for boxing fans. Career mode doesn't deserve near as much hate as this goof gave it either.

[walmartian555]

@shownomrcy yea this game is about the farthest thing from a call of duty job.

not the same at all.

FN 1 2 and 3 were similiar but 4 and champion have changed every component in the game

[chrismck100]

the update ruined this game

[marcjon000]

if youre a big boxing fan, youre gonna love this game.

[YoungKing925]

WTF an 8.0! The career mode was the shit!

[rockmaster987]

he didnt mention Character creation.. Can you still Create a character in here?? and im also wondering which one should i buy.. FNR4.. or This one FNC? plz help im undecided lol

[SuperBiggz187]

@rockmaster987 FNC its beast. better graphics than round 4, better story and way better controls. BTW if you can get it for the ps3. it has better graphics and less FRPS

[kyuubiradori]

the straight on the game is so unbalanced lol its insane.. dats like th only punch u have a hard time weavin.... but once u get a good chin.... ppl who spam that whole time r ez breezy lol

[MrThePandaman]

This game lets you beat up racists? I'm in.

[StefanTheLegendNo1]

I bought this game today because of champion mode and man is it awesome!

[Jer0meLey]

I love how Pacquiao is in the theme , pinoy pride mga pre!

[TheCopperhound84]

THUMBS UP IF YOU STILL PLAY PUNCH OUT FOR THE NES SNES AND WII =)

[SuperMoe214]

I need a dollar is what i need so i can buy this game so will share you share a dollar with me???

[Corpzmaker91]

next thing to be fixed should be the movement, same lame movement, you're not elusive ever

[Dedmon319]

Worst game of the series by a long shot

[Epicbleach575]

why every ad i see on youtube is about halo anniversary =="

[biggjayy21]

i need one more dollar to get this game D:

[baderhouli]

@biggjayy21 i need a dollar a dollar is what i need

[000000000SAM00000000]

Fight night round 2 is the best boxing game of all time. Better graphics do not make a better game! why can't they get that through their thick heads? plus this game is very slow just like fnr 3 & 4.

[catfoodtitans]

@000000000SAM00000000 i loved fnr 3

[MedalOfHonor818]

i bought this for $5 on psn lol i have like 45 minutes left

[MrTekman16]

I liked the story. Especially the jail fights.

[MSNDBZ24]

Best boxing game ever made!

really, if you are having doubts, don't... this is way better than all the other boxing games/sports games..

You'll have tons of fun!

[themagicaltragic]

i dislike the part were theres a skill cap on legacy mode i was so pumped to max out every thing next thing u know i find out i cant use my xp i bought the 25,000 twice an now its a waste of money an im pissed . i play games 4 fun skill cap takes the fun away, i win fights easy i have 54,000 xp an only 24 wins/knock outs

[tvalentino17]

i actually love this game when it came out but with the updates that ea put out to take out swelling and blood, they pretty much took out to what they promoted on the game.

[FLYPino019]

@tvalentino17

Dang...they released a patch for THAT?! I mean, if people were complaining, it's rated M for a reason compared to previous installments.

That's just ridiculous. I was thinking of getting this game.

[mrcodpwns]

@tvalentino17 wtf, i got a lot of blood since the first round, seriously

[aidenmccloskey]

If Mayweather isn't a playable character in the game, who am I going to chose as my virtual punchbag? 

[cavanfamily12345]

FLOYD WANTED EA TO TAKE A BLOOD TEST.... BECAUSE THE GAME MIGHT HAVE STEROIDS..... LOL

[KINGIBYM]

@cavanfamily12345 LOL ROFL LMFAO XD

[cavanfamily12345]

@KINGIBYM LOL LMFAO!!!! WOOOOTTTTTT DANCE PARTAY TIME!!!! LOL

[adidasDC]

After update all the blood is gone wtf, they did this so people could buy bare knuckles which i have but i still want blood using gloves wtf, i bought this game because how awesome the demo was but there is no longer blood, i fight full 12 round fights yet the most i can get now is a scratch, when i first got this you could bloody people up now FAIL WTF EA way to fuck a game up

[jakekungsful]

@adidasDC Try re-updating, I didn't get that removal.

[KuggeR23]

@adidasDC that blood removal didn't happen on my game

[rewindablender]

Because Manny Pacquiao is in here, i want to buy this game

[DjShowbag]

DODGY FUCKING GAME PLENTY OF CRASHES/FREEZES SPENT 30 dollars on XP packs and they vanished. EA WILL NOT RESTORE IT . ea support is a joke as the guy below me said. fucking dodgy as hope they get sued

[SuperHardTrance]

OI EA!!!!!!!!! WHERES MY FUCKING 15 POUNDS WORTH OF XP GONE ON FIGHT NIGHT CHAMPION???? Where is my money that i used to buy another PS3 coz you keep fking it up with all the crashes your games keep doing????? EA your pathetic morons!!! And your customer support is fucking SHIT!!!!!! Treat customers with more respect you assholes!!!!!!

[gpc0708]

I bought FNC off PSN a few days ago,and to my surprise its my fav FN yet and imo the best one yet also.Its definitely an improvement over FNR4 in many areas.Bare knuckle mode is fun and brutal,Champion mode is scripted and puts u in situational positions but its enjoyable and short.They still need to improve the fighter introductions,like announcing there name and saying there record,and also say the score at the end of a fight.Overall i'd rate 8.5 - 9/10

[Reiko013]

Marquez got robbed..:(

[D1D1P]

i wish more fights would go to a decision

[averagejoe511]

@D1D1P Tell me about it? Since when is going the distance such a taboo? I love when a fight goes the distance in this game its too much like an arcade game

[DJfresh102]

can u use th ps3 move

[Machintoshhater]

@DJfresh102 No, you can't, sadly.

[averagejoe511]

I hate this game very unrealistic. Every match always almost ends in a knock out. I can't believe the best boxing game I ever played was Knock out kings 2000 over a decade ago. They should have two modes one for the stupid ignorant boxing retards and a second mode who appreciate the sweet science.

[soufldn21]

i cant believe ppl call dis game shiit dey obviously not gd at it cos dis game is a good game, get really good fights with some good players out there

[albenizski]

i regret buying this game for the ps3, the game always freezes in legacy mode, i stop playing it.. im warning you this game is buggy

[starzmor23]

Its sucks that in story mode you can only play as a black guy i think thats stupid.

[Filterdissman]

@starzmor23 I hope no one gives you crap for sounding racist when really you arent.

[drexfxfilms]

you can't spell ignorant without IGN

[adidasDC]

Wow I love this it's all about the story and getting together with some friends and some beer and playing this, I played fight night round 3 and liked it a lot but fight night round 4 was disappointing it looked a little to cartoonish for me, oh did I mention the bare knuckles mode! Talk about bloody fights! This game is great

[uknown786]

8.0 are you fuckin serious? this is shit even by fight night standards. only the first one was good after that the series has been on a decline.

[TRHUpload]

@uknown786 Tell me one decent boxing game apart from fight night....

[uknown786]

@TRHUpload there are NONE which is sad really because i love boxing but what ea should try to understand is boxing is too technical and no matter how hard they try they can NEVER make a true boxing game. they should scrap all that slow mo shit and make a fun game like the first one.

[FightNightOnlineHD]

best sport game of 2011!

[indgiu]

what? I loved the old controls!!!!! they not even available as an option??

[XRaPeRiToX]

can you change the controls in this game to fight with the sticks instead of the buttons?..

[Remdog44]

@XRaPeRiToX

You can fight with both.

[xeizjah]

not happy with this edition.. FNR4 was awesome, but this game was marketed around 'champion' mode, which only lasted 2 and a half hours.

[Theshofumiah1]

E A Sports Looked in to this game to much. The Legacy Mode is so confusing, even for the Gaming Lovers, (even Myself!!! The stupid calender pops out with simulating fights on calender, then too booking fights!! WTF!!! its a fail. it should of been slightly less complicated

[BrFelo]

Please, someone help me. I was a Fight Night fan on PS2, but I did'nt like it on PS3. Then I downloaded it the FN Champion Demo. And a huge tun down is how weak is the punches. I hit more or less 100 times in a round. I played against a friend and wasn't so funny....

This weak punch is a a game problem or I have to learn how to punch strong?

[deeroclafam]

Can somebody tell me what song is playing in the beginning?

[F4naTIX]

@TriptalkGuy Because even at games floyd doesnt wanna figth manny pacquiao

[kroxas117]

no ear biting:(

[JukemDrawles89]

im still waiting for EA sports mma 2. fuck ufc undisputed

[brrrrr12]

@JukemDrawles89 fuck u ea sports mma 2 was a fucking shitty game ufc kicks its ass

[JukemDrawles89]

@brrrrr12 oh that game, the one thats slow paced and has terrible character physics.

yeah that game.

[brrrrr12]

@JukemDrawles89 that game that has better graphics and the roster is 10 times as good as that piece of shit EA made.

yeah that game.

[JukemDrawles89]

@brrrrr12 hahahaha better graphics. lol gud one.

[brrrrr12]

@JukemDrawles89 gud one from you kid. ea mma on console looks like a nintendo wii game. hahahaha

[ArcticYoshi]

Imagine this game with L.A Noire's face tech. That could potentially be very awesome/hilarious. :D

[EscobaroWhite]

this game is the shit! should be 9 atleast

[Theshofumiah1]

@EscobaroWhite can u please, tel me which is better, fight night round 4, or fight night champion.

I play fight night round 4 all the time. but im scared of change. is the game play same or configuration compeletely diffrent??? i dont know shall I buy fight night champion

[EscobaroWhite]

@Theshofumiah1

definitely buy this one bro. The gameplay is better because it is slightly faster with the movements, the controls are relatively the same except for extra punches added in (makes it even better) and the ability to use the buttons to punch which i think is a great addition. the story mode is awesome n even the legacy mode got upgraded...i dont know why the reviewer said the that mode is terrible, atleast they added things into it like upgrading specific punches like ur left hook

[Theshofumiah1]

@EscobaroWhite Nah, mate wont take the risk spending my money for the time being. I play fight night round 4 at the moment. reason why, im assuming fight night champion will be more difficult to understand when it comes to legacy mode. even now, i struggle to understand somtimes, with all the stupid stimulate fight with the confusing calender, then booking fight. (whats the diffrence) fight night round 4 is so frustrating to understand. Ea sports looked in to the calender deatail too much!!

[3000toney]

@StarSeeker94

If you were properly education, you won't say that.

[hipplimnew]

Floyd Maywheather isnt in this game because he is scared of virtual Pacquiao lmao

[theigito]

@hipplimnew LMAO



[boredstudent]

the only good thing about Fight Night Champion was the story

[TheJackson4eva]

@boredstudent ... The story is good... Legacy is good... the create a boxer is good... the fight now is good... stfu

[Fartndshart]

Is mayweather on dis game so u cud do da dirtyass off guard special punch

[jakedanx]

@Fartndshart there was nothing wrong with that punch. the fighters are told to protect themselves at all times

[Mrferb13]

@Fartndshart exactly

[kingbooforums]

If anyone knows: I have the PS3 version.  How do you do low attacks?(to the gut)

[bardock719]

@kingbooforums Hold the lean modifier (L2, I believe), lean your boxer downwards towards the opponent, and punch. :)

[McMIxTER]

Most underrated game I've ever played.

[D1D1P]

with the new tuner set this deserves a 10

[TriptalkGuy]

No Floyd Mayweather :(

[garykewl619]

@TriptalkGuy Yea, I was looking forward to pound opponents with sneaky cheap shots as well!

[TriptalkGuy]

@garykewl619 haha yeah, that was the cheapest win. Can't wait for Pac to kick his ass. but gotta agree, 42-0 is one heck of a record. he's still one damn great fighter

[garykewl619]

@TriptalkGuy Hmm yeah, he would have taken the bout anyway, its just that the ending was a letdown! Yeah he is a good fighter, but he needs to fight pacman, its as simple as that! Ortiz was soft, Pac is the real challenge! 

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

@garykewl619 shut up fag lol

[garykewl619]

@FIGHTFANNERD3 Who the fuck's talkin to you, panty sniffing homophobe?

[aethefox7]

@TriptalkGuy you can get him online though people have excellent replicas of him : )

[clapperjunior]

@TriptalkGuy mayweather is an ass so this is his punishment, but i will admit i do prefer him to be in the game, but you always have pacman

[BadBornGamers]

@TriptalkGuy cuz he's a pussy.

[avreeves]

@TriptalkGuy no floyd mayweather..u mean, yay :-)

[alvarez4500]

@TriptalkGuy ya whatsup with that, will he come as dlc?

[Gfox350]

@TriptalkGuy i guessing that floyd isn't in the game because he won't sell his likeness to ea, but can't figure out why.

[cucamonster14]

"avoid the carrer mode"

Wtf is this dude talking about ?

[flamaker2009]

ads fucks

[farcry2outlaw]

Boxing is the shit.

[angeriod]

The only thing i dont like about this game is that the one block button and how the head weave does seem as good in the demo (ive only played the demo) is it worth getting im not sure. i like the physics and punch animations but i do like the blocking in fight night round 4 and head dodges better in it.

[raiderroyz]

does any1 know how to unlock young george foreman?

[SuperFamousstars]

they have to make a mma version of this

[masterknaster]

@SuperFamousstars they probably are since the new UFC is coming out soon.

[Shinyafreak]

Could you edit the main character's looks in the story mode?

[ODJames2]

shit, forgot to pick this up



[musicluver281]

What is the name of the first song. The old school one

[LovableBeats]

@musicluver281 chris webby and mac miller - i need a dollar

[g36marksmen]

like if you think muhammad ali is very under power and he should be soo much more powerful and faster

[kooldaug]

so is this game fight night round 5? or is it like a taster of whats to come in round 5?

[booster330]

Body spammers have killed this game. Theres no boxing fans left on the game anymore. Only morons. Avoid.

[NicksNewHits]

@booster330 this should be consider spam cause thats a huge lie

[darkshadow2017]

it is my favioute sports game alot better than fight night round 4

[MikeLovesTacosXD]

The BareKnuckle mode saved this game!

[bigblue23net]

I rate it a 9.5/10 only cause legacy mode gets boring.

[TheTylerwalkermusic]

1:25 Andre is gonna get his ass whooped... His elbows are def not tucked in. ;)

[littlewill97]

can anybody tell me the song in 0:36?

[Sphyshious]

this game sucks, the punches dont connect, the blocking is flawed, and the stamina drains really fast. even when you clintch. this games story mode was the only thing worth playing, sadly i wont finish it cause of the fucked up game play. fight night come back strong next time around

[cdg03]

this was a pretty poor review

[banaman1234567890]

Love this game!!!! just got the bare knuckles mode for it

[wtfisgoingon13]

this game kicks ufc's ass

[StarSeeker94]

@wtfisgoingon13 UFC sucks!n All they do is hugging each other on the ground

[jememey87]

@wtfisgoingon13 I have UFC 2009/2010 but i can count how many times i played UFC 2010 and i ain't planning to buy UFC3.

EA Sports makes good boxinggames but i didn't like MMA.

The first game i bought for my PS3,back in April 2007 was Fight night round3 and i know and think EA Sports will keep on dominate with the boxing games.

But i hope they will buy the license for K1 fight series,i live in Holland and it's popular over here,not like Japan but it's huge but i don't know how it is in U.S.A...

[Elojoschulos]

I'm planning on buying this game on sunday :D Hope i do thoe it looks hella good.!

[TakedownArmbar]

best game ever.

[xxAZTECxxFIRExx]

Guys should I get this or black ops or any other game that you recommend ?

[ShunjianDaRhapsodos]

@xxAZTECxxFIRExx THIS

[Elojoschulos]

@xxAZTECxxFIRExx Lol it's funny cause i was asking myself the same question when i first bought my PS3. Buy fight night bro. COD Black Op's is very fun no doubt about that, but it get's a boring. Afterwards u only play black op's for zombies. Save your money for MW3 and buy fight night first

[xxAZTECxxFIRExx]

@Elojoschulos Thanks Bro ill definetly get fight night champion and save my money for MW3 Thanks for your reply

[Elojoschulos]

@xxAZTECxxFIRExx yeah no probb bro.

[spookos1994]

the story mode is only like 2 and a half hours long though!

[ThePragmo]

I'm the 101st guy to dislike this IGN review. When you get too overcritical, you miss the fun of the game. I'd give this game more than an 8.

[bobbydylanio]

Im not into hating ign for no reason but they gave the graphics here 8.5... the same as Cod Black Ops, some of the worst graphics on the PS3... someone explain this...

[nameisluke]

Best fight night was the first one, after that they had good graphics and everything else went to shit. Now you don't even need to block high or low, just press block and it does it for you? They need to let this series die. 

[kdotmj]

Im trading in Def Jam Rapstar,Assassins Creed 2,Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Uncharted Drakes Fortune for this movie

[SuperGhost145]

@kdotmj its not a movie you dumb fuck lol

[oddityification]

man i never cut any one up that bad in the game

[cyclo1224]

4 is way better all the way around...the champion mode sucks in this game

[SuperShafster]

Wow....Rage looks amazin
