The create-a-fighter option is superb, really giving you the opportunity to create a character that resembles yourself (unless you happen to look like the Elephant Man), and it even manages to capture the whole "out of the ring" decisions such as who to fight, which affect fighters (well, promoters) in real life. Even the opportunity to add people to your entourage adds yet even more realism to this great game.
And so onto the gameplay itself. I can honestly say that I have never played a boxing game this realistic. Part of this is probably due to EA's innovative "Total Punch Control" mechanics - you can really "feel" the punches connecting {not literally, otherwise I wouldn't give the game 5 stars). Even getting up from knockdowns has been given an innovative makeover. This game really does have it all.
If I had to pick one fault with this game, it would have to be the ring announcer, Big Tigger. We want Michael "Let's Get Ready To Rumble" Buffer, dammit! Either way, this soon gets put to the back of your mind when you start trading blows with the greats of today and those of yesteryear.
Like Lennox Lewis, this game will probably be making another appearance this time next year - though like Lennox, it's hard to see how they can possibly improve on this!
Choose your favourite boxer and fight at different levels (heavyweight, lightwieght etc) and progress through the rankings until you get a shot at the world title.
To begin with the controls take a little getting used to but once you do you will have great control over your boxer and will be pummelling your opponent into a bloody mess.
The graphics are excellent and the fighters look great Learning to be patient and look for openings and knowing when to back off becomes important as does keeping your punch meter high so your punches don't run out of power and there's nothing more satisfying than winning that title though after completing the game you may not return to it much.
This is an excellent buy though.
