Balt 4903d ago (Edited 4903d ago )

I finally dove into this one -- Got it on Friday and was reluctant to open it due to hoping a demo was coming to the storefront this week so I could try it out before not being able to return it.

As there isn't a demo planned for November of The Fight, it'll hit next month I'm told, I opened up the game late last night and popped it in.

I'm pretty glad I didn't send it back too. The game isn't perfect and there are a slew of things I wish could be tweaked via patch or maybe fixed, and maybe they will, but even still this game is actually pretty damn good. It's a workout in cardio, that's for sure.

I'm able to land flurries of punches and use the head tracking so I don't know what people are bitching about here. This is one game that the review guys all got wrong. It just is. They obviously spent about 15 to 30 min on it each and didn't even try to explore the perks and quarks of the game. It took me about 2, maybe 3 hours to fully understand the heft of my punches and stance when weaving and bobbing. It has a higher than casual learning curve, but it's not impossible to learn and or to have fun with.

I'm a pretty inshape guy. I work out 5 days a week, weight train and run many, many miles on top of it. I take fitness pretty serious in my life, so maybe it's a little easier for me than most of the average gamers out there who sit around eating nacho's and drinking mountain dew. I get that, but don't flog the game because you can't hang with it. (p.s. -- I'm not a gamer in the least)

This game is easily the best move game I've got. I love HVB and Planet Mini Golf and Tumble -- But this one just feels like you're doing something. Like you're actually taking part in the future of gaming. There will be a game, maybe next year, that takes advantage of the concept behind this game.

B+ for me, guys. Buy it.

Console Domination: The Fight: Lights Out Review

Console Domination writes: I'm sure that it's an abiding dream amongst many that some day, some how and some where, there will be a motion control combat game that's worth playing. Whether using swords or fists the hope that there will be a Motion Control game with 1:1 movement capture is one that persists. The Fight: Lights Out for Playstation Move is one of the latest attempts at capturing that dream. Unfortunately, it fails. Quite badly as well I might add.

Come now, surely we could have used the Fight: Lights Out demo back when the Move first launched. Unless of course Sony wasn't confident enough with the game for a demo. Hm...

ftwrthtx4756d ago

Maybe they are hoping for a quick pick-me-up on sales of the title.

Liefx4756d ago

That game is amazing. Great workout because unlike the Wii you actually gotta move around.

NJShadow4756d ago

I have heard of folks that play it on a nightly basis for a workout. It's supposed to be quite good in that respect.

dragon824756d ago

Looks like a pretty weak lineup this week.

ftwrthtx4756d ago

The free Killzone 3 map pack for PlayStation Plus subscribers doesn't look weak, but the rest does

ftwrthtx4756d ago

Free is my favorite price range :-)

dragon824756d ago

I agree the free map pack is nice but that will probably be the only thing I download which makes this a pretty weak update.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO4756d ago

K3 Maps and Dungeon Hunter: Alliance
Pretty much makes an awesome content update in the store.

dragon824756d ago

Only if you are interested in Dungeon Hunter: Alliance. I am also pretty much over Killzone 3 at this point so I probably wont even play the maps much.

Taggart4514756d ago

I've been waiting for Might & Magic since....like early last year. AWESOME!

Sev4756d ago

I'm a huge fan of Capybara Games. It'll be great.

decimalator4756d ago

Yeah, me too. I might have to pick it up

The Fight:Lights Out - Fitness Pack DLC (video)

whateva4803d ago (Edited 4803d ago )

this game gives you a really good workout

zootang4802d ago

You know what someone needs to do. A before and after.

Before being a picture of when they got the game and an after when they have got the Platinum trophy.

HungryGoku4802d ago (Edited 4802d ago )

The troll that gave you a disagree hasn't played it. This game is very good workout you will be in a lot of pain the first day.

Quagmire4802d ago

I'm thinking about getting this game, however it requires me to buy an extra move. I want the Move to make me do excercise, however I am torn between this and Sports Champions. which is the best, or are there any other Move games which enforce physicality?

Balt 4803d ago (Edited 4803d ago )

I love it. I flooded the developers e-mail almost daily back in December, complaining and pissing and moaning about certain things they needed to work on.

They gave me absolutely everything I asked for yesterday. Save for the Jump rope, which they said they are working on too.

I haven't had but 40 min total with the new content, but I'm already climbing the leader-boards in stats. I'll be ranked number 1 by tomorrow or Friday in the rubber dummy and the C. training. I should be 3 right about now on the rubber dummy because I just got through with a 15min session about an hour or two ago and had to end earlier than I wanted to to tend to my little girl.

Love this game. Buy it. It works.

Parapraxis4802d ago (Edited 4802d ago )

I will be buying it, the fitness aspects really appeal to me.

Great post BTW.

I, unlike many reviewers, am interested in building up my character with WORK and making him the best.
The new DLC just adds to my desire to pick this title up.
if I hadn't just spent 110+$ on Dead Space 2 and KZ3 I'd have grabbed this by now.

I guess I can play a bit of Sports Active 2 for now, but this game (as a huge MMA fan) would probably suit me much better.

specialguest4802d ago

Definitely looking into this.

cochise3134802d ago

I think I'm going to get this game; I have a second move controller coming, so this game will be bought soon.

FunAndGun4802d ago

I haven't even checked the store update from Tuesday yet because of Killzone 3.

Will definitely be buying this though, The Fight is a great workout.

jaseo4802d ago

I always did 1 or 2 heavy bag sessions for fitness. This new DLC will add some variety..

there is some leg movement too!
