1 Star this product sucks
When i bougth this product i think, this is a god product, so i bought, after a 2 weeks these controllers broken.

Dont receive a signal and i went to a electtrics service and them told me, these controllers desnt have repair. please dont bught these.

5 Stars Great purchase!
I was a little sceptical about buying this product after reading the ratings, but it turned out to be a good purchase. I had it connected and was gaming within 10 minutes of taking them out of the box. So far, it works great – easy set up and installation. Have only used it with Fight Night round 3. I will probably do another review after I play with some other games. So far I highly recommend this product.

2 Stars Great size for younger children.
My kids loved it but my 4 year old complained that one did not work within hours of me setting it up. I checked and sure enough there were extra screws rattling around in the controller. Too bad because they are compact and the kids really liked them so much that I did order another set to see if this is a random manufacturing glitch.

3 Stars xbox mini wireless controller (2pack)
The remotes are great my kids love them when they work right. One of the remotes left thumb stick doesnt work and also the A button doesnt work. Causes them a lot of frustration. Other than this problem the one that works works well

3 Stars to small gamepads…
i cant play my favorite shooting games cause this gamepad have no precision at all..only sport and racing games..

4 Stars Fight night 3
Fight night round 3 is the best boxing game so far, I mean pernonaly I like it, you can go to carrer mode, and you can make your player look like you, and as you go through training,and fighting you really get into it, makes you feal if your in the game boxing your way through belts, and trophys ,and keeping your record clean with no loses.

3 Stars Kill the body and the head will die
I love fight night, and I have been playing EA’s boxing games on XBOX since Knockout Kings 2002. The total punch control is nothing new now, and I find it very intuitive once learned. The reason why I cannot give this game more than 3 stars is because A) it has very few new boxers from last year’s edition. If there can be over 500 baseball players in a baseball game from EA and several hundred real Football players in Madden, why not make more fighters in Fight Night? Also, this game is really easy. I am a true boxing fan, and if you fight with the right style it is very difficult to lose a fight, even on the hard setting, until your fighter has lost all his attributes on the decline in career mode. (the Mike Tyson punch out style actually works the best for this game) What I mean by that is… Block and Parry your opponent and counterpunch rather than lead. After successful parries, you should be able to land 3 and 4 punch combinations at will and you should have no difficulty breaking down your opponents and stop them 95 percent of the time within the distance. When I first played the game, I went straight to career mode on hard… and unified the title with a 35-1, 34KO record. The one loss was me fighting out of character going for a KAYO when I was ahead on the scorecards but didn’t play it safe and paid the price. The game is just too easy against the AI.

For those wondering why your boxer freezes sometimes when you are blocked… it is because the computer is parrying your punch, which renders you useless for a bit and opens you up for very damaging counters. Do this to the computer, land counters in combination (I prefer a right hook to the head, right to the body, left to the body, right to the body or head as my bread and butter combo thats easy to pull off) At least 3 punches should land hard and clean after a successful parry.

4 Stars XBOX Live “bug” fixed…
This is one of the first boxing games I’ve grown to love. Unfortunately, the game lacks features like themes – the soundtrack gets old very fast, especially if you’re not into hip-hop.

Anyway, XBOX Live doesn’t work until you “fix” the “bug” the game was programmed with. In short, I had to call XBOX support to get the solution – Set your XBOX System’s date to 11/15/01. This is the only way anyone will get this game to work on XBOX Live.

As for re-setting the date every time you want to play online?…I don’t know because there were only 12 others online at the time I played, which doesn’t make for very good competition…considering the lag and cheaters.

4 Stars KO Mohammad Ali !!
This game is great fun, high on adreline, good graphics and the best of all, lands your punch like no other Among the highlights, I loved the ESPN Classics where you can relive the greatest boxing rivalries that existed in the world. By taking on the role of a previous champ, you get to play his moves! For instance, Ali is nimble, has stamina etc. while Frazier has deadly power behind his punches. But ofcourse, the main highlight of the game is the career mode, where you get to create your own boxer and make him a champ in any weight class! The game has amazing punch control and is extremely addictive. On the negative side, it lost charm after 40+ fights – coz most of my rivals had better physical fitness ratings than my boxer Overall, highly recommended – you will love it till you get tired of it.

3 Stars Serviceable, but riddled with minor imperfections
I decided to rent this title after seeing this game being played by some of my brother’s friends on the Xbox 360. With my curiosity, and my newfound powers as an 18-year-old, I rented it and popped it into my Xbox. What I had expected was a good fighting title that would consume many hours of my life. Unsurprisingly, it did… for the first day.

When I first entered the game, I played a skirmish fight against my brother, mainly for control of the Xbox for the time being. He played as Roy Jones Jr. and I played as James Toney. Unfortunately, I lost the match via TKO. Therefore I lost the Xbox for the night.

Back on the subject, the fighting mechanics of this game seem difficult to learn at first, due to the movements needed to execute a simple jab or an uppercut. However, the controls are surprisingly intuitive. After a few fights, you’ll have a basic jist of what you need to do to execute most moves within the game. You have to mix up these punches, just like in real life as well, so you can’t just go in there and throw a knockout punch with your first punch. You also have your specialty punches (to go out and K.O. your opponent with style), taunts, and cheap shots to put in there to catch your opponent (and sometimes the referee) off guard.

The mechanics are pretty good, but it doesn’t come without it’s flaws. The only gripe I have with the fighting mechanics is the random pause that you get when your opponent blocks your move. When your opponent does this, you randomly stall for about two seconds. During this time, your opponent has probably knocked your memory back a few hours with a swift haymaker to the temple. It isn’t much, but it gets very frustrating after a while.

For the career mode, I had high expectations. You start out by either creating a custom fighter or restarting the career of one of the fighters selectable in the game. If you are creating your guy, you get taken to the area where you create your boxer. You choose what he looks like, what his fighting style is, and what nickname he will be called by (there are some decent nicknames, but some of the nicknames in the game are just outright stupid and laughable).

After you create your boxer (or use one of the real-life boxers in the game), you go through the rough and grimy rings of small-time gyms, warehouses, and training regimens. When you enter the career mode, it’s pretty immersing. The Game appears to have that small-time Rocky-esque feeling to the menus and gyms, as in it seems old-fashioned and out-of-date. I don’t have a gripe against this. Actually, I like it a bit.

When your boxer trains, you have the option of choosing between three trainers. Here’s a hint, always choose the first trainer. The other two trainers only boost your skill increases minimally in their specialty (Let’s see: +1 Strength when I train for $25,000. That’s a ripoff.). The actual training is just a bunch of mini-games. However, these minigames aren’t just some excuses to burn some time. These minigames are well-thought-out and will not bore you to death when you play them at first. You have your trainer push you harder by telling you that “my mother can do this and she has an ingrown toenail!” (They don’t say this, but it’s kind of like that). These are a good excursion from the usual fighting in the game, however, these get repetitive after a while (since there are only three minigames to choose from). Another thing that’s a bit awkward is the results of your training. Every time you train, you seem to go from chump to champ in your appearance. This is just cosmetic, but it looks like your fighter just conquered the potty and not the punching bag. I got a chuckle out of it after a while, so this isn’t that bad.

After working my way up, I found that the game itself got pretty repetitive in terms of boxing. Your character has the same intro, the same intro music, and usually fights in the same stadiums time and time again. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good fighting engine, it just seemed to get really tiring and hackneyed after a while. Also, there isn’t any change in your routine for matches. You schedule a match, you train for one thing, you fight the guy, you win (or lose), you schedule another match, etc. It gets repetitive after a while, and that kills off the replayability.

Another gripe I have is with the mass commercialism in the game. Sure, I expected to see an advertisement or two in some of the bigger stadiums, however, when small-time gyms like the Windy City Gym are plastered with advertisements from Burger King (EA must be having their way with BK’s coffers with all of their ads in the game), there are tons of buyable equipment from corporations like Under Armour, and the game advertises a bloody 2007 Dodge Charger before Wednesday Night Fights, you have to ask yourself: Is this a game or is this a glorified billboard? I don’t like this kind of shameless and brutal advertising method, but then again, they did the exact same thing on Need for Speed: Underground 2.

One more serious gripe I have is with the music. I hope you enjoy rap, since it’s the only bloody type of music they have on this thing. Unfortunately, for a guy like me, who absolutely hates rap with a passion, there’s a problem with the music selection in the game. This could’ve been fixed with allowing us Xbox players to import our own music into the game, but no, EA wants us to think that EA Trax doesn’t stand for crap.

—————

Pros: 1. A solid fighting system, with tons of moves, specialty punches, taunts, and cheap shots to fool your opponent

2. The mini-games are surprisingly addictive… at first.

3. Creating a Boxer is deep and there are many options at your dispersal

4. Career Mode will suck you in the first time you play it… several hours of my life just disappeared like that.

5. No bugs. The game is competently programmed.

6. There is a level of strategy within the game. The computer will make you pay for thinking that you are Rocky Balboa or if you hit the wrong place

Cons: 1. Career Mode is too linear for mass replayability.

2. When blocked, your player just stands there for several seconds waiting for your opponent to punch the lights out of him.

3. The music is, once again, too selective and one-dimensional. It will alienate a good deal of people who play the game.

4. The mass commercialism in the game will make you sick. I thought we played video games to get AWAY from the commercials…

5. Not much incentive to hire the other trainers within the game.

6. There are some really lame nicknames when you create a boxer.

7. You can heal every cut. Not realistic, and I don’t even watch boxing all that much.

Final Verdict: Worthy of a rental, but I wouldn’t recommend buying the game, unless you absolutely need a formidable boxing title to add to your gaming stable. I haven’t played FNR 2, so I couldn’t tell you if this is a rehash of that title or not.

3 Stars Easy game, fast replace
This game have very good boxers but it is very easy, you will continuining fighting with the same guys and just have to beat them with the haymaker. I just used that game for 1 month and replace it with buying a new one. If you want a boxing one, just for your collection, then i recommend you, it has the faces of legends in boxing.

4 Stars not bad….
easy to get fighting right away. havent done much yet just building my guy up as fast as i can.

4 Stars Great Boxing Game, Sore Thumbs
This is a great boxing game, is very realistic, great graphics and a lot of options to upgrade your boxer(s). Definitevely a must have. I don’t gave the 5 stars, because it is so addictive that you would finish your Fight Night’s sessions with very sore thumbs because of the buttons configuration. However, get it!

4 Stars Knoked out
It makes you wanna fight. you feel like you actually throwing the punches. its fun.

4 Stars Great Game, Dont like Analog Botton!!!
Great Gameplay and graphics.The only Problem(at least for me) is that you must use the Analog Button to move your fighter Around, instead of giving you the option of using the traditional Directional Buttons like on the xbox. and that leaves my left thumb sore after hours of gameplay.

5 Stars Best boxing game…period
you like boxing? you like playing two player games against your friends? like kicking ***? this is the game for you. I had this on the ps2 and had to get it for the 360, the graphics are amazing.. controls are good but you can configure the controller to use the yxba or the sticks. no mike tyson or lynnox lewis but there is day la hoya, holyfield, ali, sugar ray leonard, as well as many others. you can create a boxer and go thru a career in your weight class. very good game, i hope they make a new one!!

3 Stars A must own for boxing fans.
This is game that is a must own for boxing fans! Its the best around. It has its tough moments but overall its just a good game. Its one of EA’s best titles on the market.

5 Stars Awesome.
Amazing game. Has provided me with endless hours of play. Great for multiplayer. I love this game.

4 Stars Fun game
It’s a pretty fun game, playing against the AI gets a little monotonous after a while, but playing with friends never gets old. Overall 4/5

4 Stars Great game, but there IS room for improvement…
Fight Night Round 3 was one of my first experiences with the Xbox 360 and next-gen gaming in general, and I was definitely impressed. Graphically speaking, this game is beautiful…the level of detail is superb; 2 years later it is still hard to find games that outshine this one in that regard. The controls were very intuitive with a low learning curve; within 1 or 2 practice rounds I was able to pull off some great combinations…pretty impressive since the last boxing game I played for more than 10 minutes was Mike Tyson’s Punchout about a billion years ago. If you’re looking for a button-masher then this is not the game for you…this game does well to encourage you to box strategically, through blocking and parrying to well-timed counter-punches. If you’re the type to run out swinging, be aware that while you can bully your way through your first few fights, you will quickly be knocked down once your career starts to take off and you start fighting some real opponents. Fighting your way through career mode is very rewarding, and through the training mini-games you can really tailor your fighter to fit your style of playing, be it as a hulking powerhouse or a lightning fast counter-puncher.

However, there are some downsides…by far the most annoying thing is the fact that this game is one giant advertisement. While prominent placement of brands like ESPN and Under Armour is to be expected in a game of this nature, and the Dodge stuff is almost excusable, the ridiculous amount of Burger King flair detracts from this game quite a bit…I mean, c’mon, the Burger King himself is a trainer (whose specialty is “heart”)…wonder how much EA made from that deal? Also, the repetitive nature of the ring-side commentary gets a little grating at times (you’ll hear the same phrases over and over and over again). Another gripe is trainer interaction…you’ll hear your corner-man bemoaning the amount of “blood in your eyes” or “swelling” quite often…regardless if there is cuts or swelling at all. All in all, a little more work could have been done on the AI in this respect.

Much more minor gripes: The customization level is really good in terms of shaping your fighter’s face and body, but other areas leave something to be desired, such as hairstyles (both head and face). A little more variety would have gone a long way in this regard, and being able to change the color of your gear would have been a great addition (I’m sure I’m not alone in wanting to wear all black The soundtrack is pretty limited…I love hip-hop as much as the next guy, but hearing the same tracks over and over again gets old also. Luckily, it’s only between fights, but an import feature for music would have been great, or even a little more variety.

All in all, despite these flaws, this is still a great game. Since it’s pretty much as cheap as 360 games get at this point, it’s value is hard to deny. I can honestly say I’d recommend this to almost anyone.
