Product Description
The renaissance of the arcade boxing genre is upon us. Created by the same team that developed the award-winning Fight Night Round 3, this all-new intellectual property offers irreverent fun, immersive gameplay and eye-popping stylized graphics. In this in-your-face, arcade world full of ego-wielding characters, each boxer comes to life with unique attributes and distinct personal style. Pit Romeo, a Latin lover known for his pelvic thrusts, against Molotov, an oversized Russian demolitions expert with a penchant for fighting dirty, to see how Romeo's back-handed slaps fare against Molotov's illegal use of explosives. Add a little personal motivation to your fight by uploading a photo of your face to create a realistic likeness using Photo Game Face, and go toe-to-toe with a real-life friend or foe. Following the total domination of your rival, mount their head onto the wall of your virtual trophy room where you can relive your conquest over and over again. Every time you clobber someone in the ring, you earn their head for your collection. Go on a head-hunting mission to assemble your own army of pugilists. Then upload a clip of your clash to extend their humiliation. 12 New Friends to Call Your Own? If you are struggling to find friends in the real world, 12 outlandish characters await for you to play with and against

 It's not that bad... December 16, 2008
HCS0001 (Houston, TX)
I stand by my decision when I say that this game is lots of fun to play! Maybe it's the mindlessness behind it all- but this game has grown on me and deserves to be played at least once with friends and family members.
What I believe to be shinning points for the game are the loony graphics and insane specials. It's entertaining to watch and execute massive combos and parries simply by pressing single button. Of course, it's a very primative approach- but I believe that it's perfectly fitting for a game this absurdly fast paced! (I mean that in a good way...)
As far as flaws- I'll just put it like this: "AAAHHH MY WRISTS!!!!". Being a fighting game fan, I believe that this game is addicting at times, but the button mashing get's physically tiresome after 2 bouts. There's also no story mode that could've helped in the game's attractiveness.
All in all, this game deserves a chance. For optimal enjoyement, invite your scruffy jock friends over for some one on one action, but make sure you bring some muscle relaxers!

EA stated their desire to bring back the arcade puncher games with this game, and they did. Except instead of costing a quarter for a game you'd play once, they want [...]. It's kind of entertaining, the kids like to bash each other with the customized boxers they made but the game is boring. Like said previously, it's a button masher. The faster you mash the buttons, the better you'll do. You can have about 95% of the game experience from the demo version. Don't buy this game new.

Thought this game would be great considering the push they put behind it with the commercials and all...not at all though. Let me jump right into what makes this a terrible game: First and by far the most annoying thing, your hand and wrist will almost lose feeling in them just playing this game for one bout, mashing square and X buttons as fast as you can round after round. Next the graphics in this game are absolutely pathetic IMO. They took the cartoony look too far and most of the characters just look clumsy and stupid in the ring. Next is there is no strategy or depth to this game, like I said before you basically use square, X, and R1 over and over and over. I say there is no depth because by your second or third fight you'll have mastered all the controls you'll need! Another thing is the difficulty level to me is unbalanced, this game is extremely challenging at easy level many times. It took me several tries to beat some of the middle boxers. Which I like a challenging game but not at the easy level, when I just want to beat up a boxer for a little while and blow off some steam. Anyway, one cool thing is the Facebreaker "bout ending" punches which you build up after landing 3 or 4 combos. Overall: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GARBAGE!!!
