Fight Night Champion Review (Modojo)

With so many boxing games in the App Store, choosing the right one takes some research. That said, let's make this simple: buy Fight Night Champion. EA Sports did a wonderful job bringing the recently released console game to the iPhone, complete with pulverizing knockouts and fluid 3-D animation. We just wish the publisher was more generous with content.

I'm totally hooked on this game!

Career mode is pretty weak though, so far...I'm about twenty fights in and have faced nothing but created boxers (I'm starting to think that the 'real' boxers are not even in the career mode, and the 'champion' you face is isaac frost like in the full console version)

Otherwise, once you get used to it, it's a blast to strategize and knock the crap out of the AI (which can be exploited and unfortunately somewhat spammed using haymakers over and over).

GREAT deal for 4.99, no matter what way you look at it, it's better than last years PSP game, and that retailed at 40 bucks initially.

Yeah it really is a great game when you master the controls.

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?

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

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.

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

navi87825d 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.

navi87825d 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.

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_slice1747d ago

Hell, I will take remaster of Champion. PLEASE!
