GreatJan 04, 2010 I played Fight Night 3 on my XBOX 360 & it was awesome!
I played it for the PSP as well, and it is not as good as it is on a regular console like a 360 or PS3 you know?
But this game is awesome!
Long load times kill it for meDec 26, 2009 This is one of the finest boxing games available on the PS3, especially for the graphics and controls. The AI can be rewarding/challenging and you may find yourself picking up on some strategy early on. The 'build your fighter' option is highly customizable and the training can be as fun as the boxing.. kindof like a minigame.
What destroys this game is the extremely long load times on the main menu and between fights. It's literally 4 or 5 seconds wait time, ever single time you move to another option in the main menu. This may not kill it for everyone, but I'd warn that you rent this game first to see if you can handle it.
I've got Fight Night Round 4 now.. equally good gameplay but without the excessive load/wait times and it does seem to be a more straightforward, professional title over Round 3.
-- you can get this game for $10-$15 used just about everywhere -- but I recommend that you use that money towards Round 4 if you have to have a boxing game.
BoxingDec 15, 2009 This boxing game is worth the money,
the graphics are outstanding and the fighting feels very real,
Only thing I don't like is the haymaker, which can be used by unskilled fighters ot beat opponents
GREAT game, long waitsSep 12, 2009 This game is one of the best boxing games I've EVER played - however, the load times are ridiculous. You'd think they would make better use of the PS3's hard drive to reduce this, but alas, they didn't. At times it feels like you have to wait for the game to load after every punch (see Playstation 1 vs. Sega Saturn), which is what puts a real damper on the gameplay - just when you're hyped up for the next fight, you have to get up, grab a drink, use the restroom. then sit and wait some more... Fun: 10 out of 10. Gameplay: 2 out of 10 just because of the load times.
Now wonder it is selling for 6 bucksAug 26, 2009 This game is very poorly programmed. The judges make huge errors on the scoring and statistics. The announcer makes incorrect comments during the fight. The replays are completly the opposite of what the announcer is saying. The game keeps saying it can not connect yet all other games and internet work fine. There is no update system. The menu system is very unintuitive and boring. The music stinks unless you like rap. The controller is very difficult to master or sometimes does not do what it is suppose to. The load times are slow. The game has crashed my system a few times. I have still managed to have some fun so I gave it a very generous 3. I could have given more details but with all these flaws it would have been extremely long winded.
