They've captured the boxers in more than just likeness, though the likenesses are stunning, down to being able to clearly read every tattoo on Manny Pacquaio's body. But to be completely honest, Ali actually fights more like Ali, and here, I give the developers credit. I will, however, grudgingly admit I already miss Muhammad Ali's insouciant shuffle, which featured in previous Fight Night titles. And good news for the boxing purists: The stupid haymakers are gone, supplanted by a power button, that when held down, amplifies the power of your regular punches. Combinations don't give you calluses and scars. A single directional flick is all you need to throw a punch. No longer do you have to memorize complex stick motions, only to find that the uppercut you wanted to throw was actually a hook.
#WHATS THE FIGHT NIGHT CHAMPION DIGITAL CODE UPDATE#
Looking at what it is, it's a decent update to 2009's Fight Night Round 4. While there will be no shortage of male buyers in the 18-34 range who are already hardcore gamers and Fight Night aficionados, this game has nothing for newbies and is unlikely to attract peripheral gamers or broaden the genre's demographic. I'm left wondering why EA didn't even take a stab at it.
As lame as Sony's The Fight: Lights Out for the PS3 was in terms of realism, at least ColdWood Interactive gave motion controls the old college try. But what could be a more-intuitive way to punch than to, well, just punch? Yes, I know games like this are developed on two-year cycles, but how do you not see the Kinect and PS Move coming and bind yourself closely to those developers to bring the most-realistic fighting game to the market ahead of everyone else? The lack of support for any motion at all on the Xbox 360 and PS3 is a stunning omission. Punching controls are easier, the AI is smarter, fighters look, feel and fight more like their real-world counterparts and the graphics are simply stunning on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
