Fight Night Round 4 is finally on the scene with a host-levitations and improvements. It''s looking to take the title away from its predecessor so let''s see if it can score that knock-out punch.
Presentation
As you have heard, this game looks amazing, no big surprise there. Unlike round 3, this one runs in a full 60 frame per second and the animation is much more fluent because of it. Sometimes, it can look unnatural but it does makes the controls much more responsive. The biggest ch ange of the graphics is the physics.Everything is physics-based now, muscles flex realistically and you can actually see and feel vibrations cause from punches. The levels of detail is insane and looks fantastic. Every now and then you can get small, little bugs. For example, sometimes you will avoid a punch and it will register as a hit. It doesn''t very often but still worth imagining.
All the menus are slick and legacy mode has been expanded, a lot!. Legacy mode is basically a career mode. It''s a way you create your character and fight up the ranks. Fight Night Round 4 has full calendar system where you can schedule training sessions and fights and it supply a crazy amount of stat-tracking.
The stat-tracking is very cool to see but some of the numbers are little off. The game keeps track from a perspective fighter award and it can often given to a fighter with a losing record. "C''mon, guys! I can have no loses and still can''t receive and get that awar d!" Also, the weird thing is the fact that you can''t hire trainers or promoters. Knowing that a huge part of boxing that''s a little odd that''s not in the game.
You can create and customize your character with a lot of options and you can use photo-game face to put yourself into the game. And of course, you can play as Tyson and wreck people''s faces. How cool is that!
Gameplay
This is a great boxing game. The controls have changed a little bit.You can block, hide and low now and the parring system now is totally gone. Instead, countering is super important. If you dodge at the right time, you can comeback with a devastating punch. I like this a lot when fighting against human opponents. But computer A.I. can be a little cheap with it. Sometimes, you can cleanly dodge a punch and you can''t still get a counter punch out of it. It''s not a deal-breaker but still annoying.
The new quarter game is streamline from Fight Night 3. You c an be given a number of points based of what you did to a certain things and you use these things to repair yourself. I wish it''s a little more hands-on but still works well. Overall, the changes they made fit very well into the game. The game plays with Fight Night Round 4 is all about and it''s great as ever.
The Verdict
This is a great boxing game! The new physics engine has a lot to be experienced and new presentation is awesome. I haven''t even mentioned the fact that you can download boxers that people create or the fact that there''s a sweet replay out of it. The developers didn''t change what you love with Fight Night Round 3 Fight Night 3 but instead they added into it. Although, it may not haven''t a full impact as the previous game, it''s good to be back in the ri ng!
