The fighting has not changed that much and that is a bit of a flaw with the game but the boxing was so superb it is hard to see how EA could have improved it. Moving up three or four and fighting the person in that slot will improve your slot if you win, but you don't gain their position automatically which is an interesting decision something we think should not have been touched since last year. One of the most interesting features is that beating a boxer does not guarantee you their rank. Boxing fans may look down at this feature but it is possible to ignore it and fight based on your characters physique. For instance if you have the best fireworks you can get up from about three knockdowns that would normally knock you out, so there is some strategy involved. The more you pay the greater impact they have. You don't automatically gain people to join you on your walk to the ring and you now have to pay them money. The fact EA has included a tutorial for total punch control this time is of benefit to new players and the sparring is actually quite fun.Īs you progress through the ranks you are given money and this is another new aspect to the title.
Fight Night Round 2 professional#
Another surprise is that initially you're not professional and have to prove yourself in some amateur bouts before being offered the option to turn professional where the game becomes harder and tougher, but also a lot more enjoyable. Instead of being forced to make your own new boxer, you can now talk one of the professionals featured in the game and move through the ranks to number one with them again which is a nice touch and definitely a welcome option for those who just don't like putting together their own boxer. The career mode is an extension of what they had last year. From that it doesn't seem like much has been added but EA has added everything but the kitchen sink this year and it is this that makes it so impressive. There is the exhibition mode and the career mode to choose from as well as modes to practice your boxing moves with. There are a number of game modes to choose from this year with a few new additions. Not only is Fight Night Round 2 the best boxing game ever made, it is one of the finest sports games ever made and demonstrates exactly what EA is at the top of the game in the sports genre. Well, EA have tried and astonishingly they have succeeded with aplomb. The control system, style and general gameplay really added up to one of last years best games and it was always going to be hard for someone to top it.
It was so far above any other boxing game ever made that it managed to bring in gamers who had no interest in boxing at all. Last year EA single handedly created the best boxing game ever made.
EA smacks the competition with a haymaker in what is no doubt the best boxing game ever
