Although the graphics look kind of outdated, the game is actually fun. Out of all the PS3 move games, this has got to be one of the best. Its basically a cardio work out game, and not a story based game which is probably why it gets negative criticism. It utilizes dual Move motion controllers and the player controls the in-game avatar like a puppet. The motion tracking is very accurate (depending on lighting and background)and the ps3 camera analyzes your body movements. The tracking is very articulate, and the game can analyze your fists rotations and punching velocities. I can accurately make my fighter dance the macarena or YMCA if I wanted. I actually danced the macarena in a online fight. The game progresses through a bunch of street fights where the player earns money and fame. The only way to rank up is by spending the winning fight money in a gym to train. The more a player trains, the more skill points they unlock and add fighting attributes to their avatar/in-game character. This game has some unique features. One of those features is sports betting. You can gamble your money through different odds and even place bets on real time online fights in online multiplayer lobbies. The winning money is used to heal the player's avatar, train, and buy clothing and tattoos, etc. The player's avatar/character starts the game barefoot wearing only a pair of sweat pants. The rest has to be bought and earned. The movements unlocked are dirty fight techniques like elbows, headbutts, grabs and things like that. The more attributes are ranked, the better your player's tracking becomes. It basically ends up being as accurate and fast as the real life player's movements. There's some dark comedy in the game as well. The gym trainer is actually played by Danny Trejo, the dude from the Machete movie, and he's always cracking jokes and insults. The CGI characters also have some funny gestures and personalities. Its definitely an entertaining game to play when friends come over. This game has a lot going on, its very fun. This game will make a person start sweating. It has a calorie counter and some workout DLC's from the PSN store. The game's cover doesnt do it justice, its definitely more of a fun extravagant game. This game is very inexpensive so its definitely worth buying.Read full review
Awesome workout. Not for the lazy. Buy the PS Store $2 add on which gives you some bulk stats as makes it more fun from the start. Still really tough. I don't consider this a game as much, more of a hard core fitness trainer. Do this a few times a week added to other workouts and will be well rounded. Stretch first. The bad reviews for this game in my view are from people who expected a easy game, and not a core boot camp style workout. This game is for you if you are wanting to mix up your fitness routine.

This is a VERY awesome game that I highly recommend to all players, no matter your age, body figure, and gender. Let me put the downside of this game first: Only one thing makes you feel bad, the MOVE controllers and camera seem like not cooperate well with this game. You need to RECALIBRATE EVERY TIME after you did a move. For example, I have hard time to make my right punch right. Every time after I made a right hand movement, I MUST recalibrate in order to make the next right punch accurate, otherwise, it will be "slow wiping through" while I actually swan my fist fast and full of power.....||| And I confirmed this issue with another player on-line. Speaking about the good side, if you do not want to fight with other players, you can stick with single mode and fight through the game as normal. Though you need to do "Training" in order to "increase the ability" of your character, kind of ARPG type of game, but it does not make this game bored. Like Tekken 6 transforms from traditional versus mode to action game, The Fight: Lights Out is another way of transforming the fighting game. The second good thing is that this game also have Fitness mode. No hard movements, but sufficiently to move all your muscles and tired you out....well..if you have not done some exercise for a while. Third, you can also use this game as pure boxing training material as it has a mode to beat the rubber target. As you are in the boxing training room. Anyway, I love this game a lot. Though I should only give 4 star as the controlling does not move as it should be, but I still respect the fun that this game brings to me.Read full review
The only bad thing I can say is that I waited too long to get this game. Don't listen to fanboyism reviews that haven't spent the necessary time to advance in the career mode. This game is more like a workout. There are a lot of fighters to beat and a decent amount of unlocks. But this game beats any Wii interactive boxing game out there. I know, cause I own them all! The training sessions make the game for me. The speed bag focus mitt sessions are excellent with realistic motions. I burn about 400 calories an hour according to there counter which goes by information you input when first starting the game. If you want to be intense with it like me, put on some weighed gloves and wristbands.
I got this game because I herd it was a good work out game without it actully being a work out game lol. The mechanics are good and the controls are easy to get used to; and it does feel like your truly fighting in boxing if you really get into it. The 3D does a good job of elevating the game to a new leave of real.
Great stress relief, and exercise. Also has a workout add-on. Basic but effective. Gameplay is no holds barred, fluid,and responsive. Can play as a clean fighter,or a dirty fighter based on moves, and enhancements. Even more fun if you can get a friend to spar against. Great online experience as well.You have to have two of the motion ball type controllers though. Not a big deal if you have two player games anyway. Can do split screen, but requires four total motion ball style controllers.
I like that it is another great work out tool. I like that it is a PS3 Exclusive for the PS3 Move Project. I like the old school look. I don't like that you have to keep on calibrating the controllers when you want to just fight and get it on. I kind of wish there was more to the gameplay besides using controllers to fight. All and all; for what i paid for it it was worth it. Thanks again Sony for giving me something more to enjoy.
In my humble opinion, this is THE BEST fighting and fitness GAME, point. I guarantee that you will have the best workout you ever had. The reality of this game is impressive, do not believe to those Amazon 3 star reviews – they just did not spend enough time with it. You start loving this game after 1 month of regular play. The online game play is the best I had. There are a small problem of scammers who just throwing punches or just keep their arms straight, but with wise strategy you can overcome it. 10 of 10!
Good game. Gives you a good upper body workout when played with move controllers. You WILL break a sweat. It's best to have good lighting and/or a white/bright background for head tracking to work and track properly. Controls are most accurate if play during the day time with bright natural lights.
I BOUGHT THIS GAME FOR EXERCISE PURPOSES AND TURNED OUT TO BE PERFECT FOR EXERCISING! I ALSO NOTICED IT IS A GREAT STRESS RELIEVER WHEN YOU ARE PUNCHING THEIR LIGHTS OUT! I WOULD DEFINETLY BUY THIS GAME AGAIN! HOPE THEY COME OUT WITH A PART 2 SOON! THE ONLY DOWNFALL IS THE CALIBRATION BEFORE EACH FIGHT, BUT IT IS DONE WITH EASE.
