IGN:Fight Night Champion Review

IGN:It was my first fight as the great Roberto Duran. A few rounds in, I noticed Duran's white trunks had this odd red pattern on them. After a moment, I realized it wasn't dye in the fabric, but blood. My opponent's blood.

DualConsoleOwner4809d ago

prob will pick this up for story.

Quagmire4809d ago

Ok, lemme see. IGN gave Fight Night Champion 8.0, this isnt Call Of Duty, convert that into non IGNorant score, and you get...

9/10

Yep, FNC deserves about that. Brilliant game, day 1, loved the demo, cant wait.

Rainstorm814809d ago

Yea i agree...it doesnt get old but IGN stands for IGNorant....

I mean seriosly READ the review...They put the same comments for Gameplay and Lasting Appeal...WTF

IGNorant and Lazy.....

FNC is the best ive played in the franchise..and in IGN's review they knocked the game for some dumb reasons....reasons the wouldnt down-rate COD for....

NYC_Gamer4809d ago

we need a true boxing simulation

Kon4809d ago

Punch-Out is the best in the market

Montrealien4809d ago

this is still a great boxing game, I tried it out this morning, started the Champion mode, and I must say, I was enjoying it alot.

Quagmire4809d ago

Are you high? How is Punch-Out a simulation? Its like saying Hot Pursuit is a driving simulator.

Montrealien4809d ago

Hey Quagmire, does Samus have a gun as his arm, or is he wearing like some form of glove?

Fishy Fingers4809d ago

Based on your limited experience with the demo?

Montrealien4809d ago (Edited 4809d ago )

I have limited experience with the actualy game, and I from my first impression this is easily an 80%+ game. Its one of the better boxing games I have played in quite a while, well, at least since Fight Night round 3.

trounbyfire4809d ago (Edited 4809d ago )

games are slightly different in that we are told as much info as possible about it. over time we either think its great or terrible.

he clearly thought from all he seen and heard that it would score higher.

its not like he just heard of FN for the first time and wanted to bash ign. you must be a ign beyond listener. don't judge a book by its cover well guess what we know whats inside the book, the character, plot, setting we know it all. we are not just saying a game sucks or is good based on the name or cover art but what we know.

did we play the game, NO
Do we know alot about the game yes so forming a opinion is valid

so take you" you didn't play the game crap back to ign.

@ warrior9988
please don't be a troll i defending you. i hope i am right

@Fishy Fingers
well i was the guy that called out ign beyond out for saying what you said. so yeah. also it doesn't matter what build it the fact we are given a crap load of info means we are not just bashing ign but the fact that we saw a higher score

warrior99884809d ago

hey i said that because IGN always do that

Fishy Fingers4809d ago (Edited 4809d ago )

@trounbyfire
First off, funny you felt compelled to jump to his/the games defence.

Secondly, I'm asking a legitimate question, what experience with the game does he have to diminish IGNs review after having actual time with the retail build?

I'll b tha judge of how good FN Champion is.
Being a fan of the series since the start, I've been anticipating this game.

I just can't c myself going without a boxing game in my collection.
There's just something gratifying about knockin' someone out online..lol.

Game on everyone!

Fight Night Round 5: We Want A New Fight Night Game

It’s been almost a decade since the critically acclaimed Fight Night Champion, the final title in a series of beloved boxing video games from Electronic Arts. Since 2011, the studio has been focused on its mixed martial arts title, UFC, instead. But with the rise of the popularity of boxing again, thanks to fighters like Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury, could we possibly have another Fight Night game on the way?

I honestly cannot state enough just how much i want a new fight night!!!

Boxing is one of my fav sports to watch and it has been way to long since iv had a game to enjoy.

Undisputed looks like a ps3 game, cmon EA, stuff UFC, give the people what we really want which is a boxing game!!!

cnote00443d ago

I agree we need another fight night, however undisputed, I’d have to part ways with that ps3 claim.

Petebloodyonion443d ago

IT'SSSSSSSS FIIIIIIGHT NIIIIIIGHT!!!!
I hope they make it like round four instead of champions but ill take any fight night at this point

Dabigsiebowski443d ago

They need to go back to the good roots of FN R2 and FN R3. Everything after watered down the formula too much and enabled gimmicks. FNR2&3 are some of the greatest fighting games ever.

Kurt Russell443d ago

3 was fun and you could smash out so many haymakers. But I found 4 more technical and enjoyed it for that too.

navi87443d ago

At least in 3 you had to wind up your shots, it was more skill based as opposed to 4 where you just held down L1 or R1 whilst flicking the analogue stick.

navi87443d ago

Agreed, i played FNR 3 the most on Xbox 360 back in the day and using the analogue sticks to kinda mimic punches thrown was fun af. FNR 4 ruined it by just flicking the analogue stick to throw hooks, felt really unintuitive after the previous games.

isarai443d ago

They'd ruin it like they do everything these days

10 Best Forgotten Sports Game Franchises That Should Come Back

From Xfire: "Sports games are the average Joe's best chance at getting to play under the big bright lights with thousands of people in the stands watching their every move. It doesn't matter if you're a hoops junkie or a baseball fan, sports video games let you live out your hopes and dreams."

In the words of the great Stone Cold Steve Austin Ooooh Hell Yeeeeah!!! lol. Also it would be sweet if EA gave us a new Def Jam Fighting game with a roster of Rappers that's unheard of. Biggie.Pun.Pac.Jam Master Jay.Eminem.JayZ.Eazy E.MGK.Naz. and over 60 of the best rappers ever past and present. One can only hope.

Deebo_slice1365d ago

Hell, I will take remaster of Champion. PLEASE!
