This was the game that started it all. The fighting felt more brutal and yet more tactical. FN 2004 introduced the right-stick punch and blocking system. While the parrying was arcadish at times (and has since been phased out in subsequent FN games), it made defense a priority. For sure, if not for the strides made in this game, the series could never have produced FN Champion. As for the gameplay itself, it feels a little dated and limited compared to what the latest FN games offer. That is expected. However, for an XBOX title, this game really provided good depth in the career mode and a wonderful atmosphere with the array of arenas and ring walk options like fireballs and lasers. One source of annoyance is the noticeable absence of a real announcer and real commentators. Instead, we get "Big Tigger." While he doesn't ruin the gaming experience, he doesn't help. One of my favorite parts about this game is the knockdown "ragdoll" physics. Once your opponent goes down, his body goes limp and gravity takes over. If near the ropes, you can lay into him with a barrage of shots. It's wonderful. Overall, this is a fun trip down memory lane. If you're a fan of the FN series, it is not a bad idea to pick this up for a couple of bucks and see where it all began.Read full review
This game is an oldie but a goodie. I love the analog controls for throwing different types of punches. I thoroughly enjoy playing this game and creating my own boxer for both career mode and quick play mode. You can also choose from fighters like, Mohammed Ali, Roy Jones Jr. and James Toney. This is an all around great game to play, if you are a fan of boxing. It has stood the test of time with me.
I played it before years ago and liked it then, this is a newer version and is an excellent fight game. Has many of the old classic fighters such as Ali, Frazier, Marciano, Holyfield and many others. The graphics are great and the game is fun to play. I bought it because the price was right and I enjoy sports games by EA Sports. I am very pleased with the purchase.
Great game! I like the right-stick punch and block system.
