Just found out about this http://2ksports.com/games/prizefighter/

Comes out in 6 days, looks behind it's time though, especially from such a prestigious company. Doesn't look like you can get up close and fight with style but at a set range just like Fight Night

. Still gonna get it though, just for the sake of having a boxing game for my 360.

EDIT: Found this site too

http://www.2ksports.com/prizefighter/uk/

The main video here does the game much more justice, looks like the career mode is much more in-depth that Fight Night's. Amateur fights and much more training mini-games.

They've included Calzaghe, Pavlik, Larry Holmes, Cesar Chavez, Shannon Briggs, Bomani, Norton, Chris John, Macarinelli, Joe Louis, Archie Moor, Nigel Benn, Marciano, Eubank & lots more so the choice of boxers is pretty good, especially the classic boxers that they've chose, not just the mainstream classics like Ali and Frazier.

I think the presentation this game does look good but this game looks pretty crappy to me. The gameplay just looks way too slow and robotic. If you see the gamplay video of Samuel Peter vs Andrew Golota on www.gametrailers.com. you will know what i am talking about. You may have a different opinion than me but i don't have a problem with it.

Now to the Career Mode, i do agree with you it does have a lot of depth but there is some things that i do not like about it. The main thing i do not like about career mode is that you can only play as one weight class, which is heavyweight. I personally think thats just stupid because i rather play a career mode that lets you to play with every weight class that is in the game. I personally think that the documentary part of the career is just stupid. I rather play an open career mode with rankings that lets you defend titles multiple times in more than one weight class. This game's career mode will be the same as the first after your done playing through the first time so it has not a lot of replay value except playing tons of exibition matches. I hope the next game adds a tournament mode with it to make a more reply value. Plus its the same people that created the shitty Rocky games.

Graphics of this game do not look good for an XBOX 360 game. The one thing i do like about this game is the soundtrack and its pretty good. The Don King intros looks boring to me. I did check the 2k Sports boards but the administrators did a horrible job of advertising this game and getting the info of this game as early as possible. I don't have a problem with someone having a different opinion than me. If you like the game, buy it and pay $60.00 and have a good time playing it.

I am very sure that Tyrant will buy this game also because i see him a lot on the 2k Sports boards. I am defiantly not going to buy this game, I'll just wait for Fight Night Round 4.

That's shit, a much prefer creating a welter/middleweight fighter in any game

.

Anyways here's a video on FNR4 http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?&brand=null&videoId=3405150&n8pe6c=1

Looks like it's going to be 10x better than DKP and about 1,000,000x better than FNR3.

Here's proof- go down to niwde787 on the first page and it shows a picture that you can't change your weightlcass and yes it does suck. I do not know what the hell are the creators of this game are thinking.

Unlike Fight Night, you can't choose your own nickname. You have to play as "The Kid". Only thing you can change is his appearance, entrance music, style, and name.

The only thing i did not like Fight Night Round 3 was its career mode had no rankings.

Ah it's only for career mode though as you're following a set storyline with alot of media choices, girlfriends, holidays which affects your ability.

Explains it 20 minutes onwards.

For only £30 it's going to be worth while, just for the in-depth storyline. Gotta say though the actual boxing gameplay is pretty shit, slow and restrictive.

This is old news and everyone hates the roster to i mean there best heavywieght is sam peter rofl.
Bad roster
Bad gameplay
Kills a boxing game and to be honest the career mode will not save this game.
Boxing fans will just get it anyway because FNR4 isnt going to be out till 09.

your an idiot. Joe louis is on that game which will be unreal

I don't tbh, they've missed out quite a lot of top modern boxers but I love the classic boxers in, people like Marciano, Louis, Archie Moor, Benn & Eubank. It's a shame though as the slow and pretty ugly looking gameplay is going to spoil the opportunity to re-create great fights such as Benn V Eubank. Still gonna get it though, the description of the story mode has convinced me to buy it. Also hopefully the online will be better than Fight Nights and I can get some people screaming abuse down the mic again

yeh i agree i really wana re-create joe louis vs rocky and nigel benn vs eubank.
But i dont have a 360 or a wii but i was going to buy one if this game was going to be as big as the hype but it looks like it isnt gameplay sucks from what i seen and wheres the in fighting they promised?

Another point is the story mode which is suppose to be a in depth story mode but you cant choose your nickname or a different wieght class that does suck so we are seeing limitations already.

Yeah your nickname and weight are restricted but you get a full on story with it instead of the occasional weigh in one punch fight. Things like choosing whether to go clubbing, girlfriends, more choices of brands etc, decent looking amateur fights, and hopefully better weigh ins and build up to big fights. Still. I'd much rather play as a middleweight.
