Greatest Boxing Game EVER!Mar 24, 2005
By Sean Parauka This company, EA Sports has done it again. Their games can't be beaten, let's face it. Their latest release, Fight Night: Round 2 is the GREATEST Boxing game EVER! When I heard about another boxing game to be released by EA Sports, I rented the game as soon as it was released and as soon as I returned the rental, I was at Walmart next door purchasing my own copy. I just had to have this game. This game has it all! I can't imagine a better boxing game than this right here!
There is an excellent selection of gameplay options in this game. First, you can have a regular exhibition bout with any boxer from Featherweight - Heavyweight. The second option is CAREER mode. You can either use a boxer already in the game or CREATE a Boxer. The Create-A-Boxer mode is FANTASTIC. You build your fight from ground up. Everything from height, weight, body size, head size, face shape, different hair styles and colors, gloves, trunks, shoes, tattoos, taunts and Special punches. In this mode, if you have created a boxer, and choose to fight as him, before the fight, You will be required to participate in Fight Preparation. This is your opportunity to increase your boxer's stats before the fight. There are three training methods to choose from. One, "Combo Dummy" which works on Agility, Speed, Cuts and Heart. Two, is the "Heavy Bag." This works on Power, Speed, Stamina, Body, Chin, Cuts and Heart. Third is the "Weight Lifting." This works on Power, Stamina, Body, and Cuts. These training methods are fun. The mode "Hard Hits" is a typical exhibition but with different rules. After a knockdown the round is over. And there is no time limit to the rounds. Keep going until your opponent doesn't get up.
The career mode is fantastic. First, your fighter starts as a Amateur and you compete in ten fights until you become the Amateur champion and move on to Heavyweight. Now you will start out as the Number 50 contender and work your way up the ranks challenging opponents and earning money for every victory. The higher your fighter's rank, the more money each fight is worth. When you earn money, you can purchase more trunks, shoes, gloves, tattoos, punches, taunts, mouthguards, etc. There is a selection of over 100 different trunks.
The new features of the game are the EA Sports Cutman and the Total Punch Haymaker control. First, the EA Sports Cutman allows you to cure swelling and cuts between rounds your fighter has sustained during each round. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO LEARN! Why? If your fighter gets beaten enough and his face looks really torn up, the Referee may stop the fight. Second, is the EA Sports Total Punch Control Haymaker. Using the C-Stick on the controller, you can control the amount of power your fighter throws in his punches. You can use a Haymaker Hook, Uppercut, Body Uppercut and Hook using either arm. These blows will cut your opponent's face. If you time these punches just right, you can start a Flurry of haymakers right-left-right until your opponent collapses. Tip: IF YOU MISS, YOUR OPPONENT WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE WHILE YOUR FIGHTER IS VULNERABLE AND THROW STRONG PUNCHES AT YOU AND YOU MAY BE IN TROUBLE!
The graphics of this game are absolutely terrific. Very realistic. Your fighter's face will start swelling and bleeding accordingly as a fighter's would in real life. For instance, your fighter's eye won't swollen shut after 5 strong punches. Little by little the eye will get red, then a little bump under the eye, and gradually your fighter will look like he just went through a car wreck if he gets beaten enough. It is nice when your opponent has a shut eye cus of the swelling. It will effect his fighting and it will be easy to throw haymakers and knock him out. This game couldn't be any closer to real life than it already is. The body graphics are very detailed as well.
I LOVE THIS GAME! I am addicted to it. There could never be a better boxing game than EA Sports latest release, "Fight Night: Round 2." A quick tip, be patient, it takes a while to learn your way around the game and how to fight effectively. I give this game a 10/10 hands down. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BOTHER RENTING THE GAME FIRST! I Guarantee! Once you buy this game, you will never look back!

Get the band aids readyDec 29, 2005

"deadon71"
I haven't found a game this intense in a long time. I went with my son to pick out a game with his christmas money. He got King Kong. (He's to scared to play it)Fight Night Round 2 severe sale at toys r us. 9.99. Couldn't that bad, it was a new release, and I'm getting into sports games. Besides all the hip hop crap music, this game is incredible. Graphics are great, the slow motion power knockdowns, with the blood flyin', get's you really pumped.Takes a while to figure out the swings, but you have really good control of punches and movement. I've figured out almost all of the throws, except the haymaker. Got the game on monday at about 6pm, stayed up till 2:30am, and woke up with the worst Ninetendo thumb since high scool! Just had to wrap my thumb for the next round, GET IT!

Fight Night Round Two is the ShiznitMar 24, 2005
By Bubba R. Sosby I love this game! From the first day that I played it, I was hooked. The graphics are awesome! I like the realism of the fight. It took me a couple of times to get used to controlling my fighter, but now I wouldn't have it set up any other way. This is by far my favorite game.

A superb sequel, tons of fun.Mar 04, 2005
By Andrew Robinson
"ludicrously dubious"
This game comes out firing with all guns blazing. Fight night round 2 features stunning graphics (which show lifelike animations and facial expressions), awesome gameplay (both single and 2 player), a fantastic create-a-player option, and so much more. The inclusion of Super Puchout only adds to the replay value. If you are a fan of the Fight Night 2004, a boxing fan, or just want some fast paced action, then I highly recommend checking out this awesome game.
