If you're into boxing you're going to love Fight Night Round 4. The physics-based fighting is simply brilliant, the career mode will last you an age and the online functionality is solid. Read more
- Physics engine is superb, Boxing is fast and smooth, Looks brilliant
- Legacy Mode feels a little soulless

Fight Night Round 4 has evolved positively compared to its predecessor. The controls feel very intuitive, the game seems less scripted, the AI made big improvements and the gameplay is very much ok. I doubt the game will appeal to more people than UFC 2009 Undisputed but this is of course also due to the small market of boxing fans. However, if you're looking for a pure boxing title where realism and depth are central then this is your game. Read more
- Graphically top, Good controls, Realism, Mohammed Ali Vs Mike Tyson
- Audience seems dead

But as we said earlier, the reason why we chose to focus on the negatives is because the positives are so good and anything that breaks that up feels ten times worse than it probably is. Fight Night Round 4 is a must for any sports enthusiast. The graphics are phenomenal, the soundtrack works perfectly, the in-game commentary is relaxed and realistic and the longevity and value-for-money charts are through the roof thanks to the myriad of boxers, weight classes and of...

EA Sport\’s boxer gives a good punch for the money. Friday Night Fight Round 3 was the best Boxing game ever released on any videogame console. The graphics were unbelievable, the gameplay was engaging and the presentation was just perfect. Rarely do people go out and buy a new console just for a sports game, but that is exactly what that game did a few years ago. The title was one of the few sports games to go platinum as well.

The sweet science of pugilism has never been sweeter. Read more
- Stunning visuals; new counter system rewards skilled, patient players; online championship belts.
- Legacy mode feels underdeveloped; AI feels cheap at times; training mini-games are not worthwhile.

Fight Night Round 4 has come to the PS3 and Xbox 360 having switched development teams and made a few extra trips to the training room. With so much retooling and new hands at the helm, gamers are bound to ask whether EA's latest entry in the Fight Night franchise delivers a solid punch that will make them rethink returning to the ring, or whether it's just an aging pugilist blowing through lightweights.

When Fight Night Round 3 released in December of ’06 for the PS3, the graphics were almost lifelike. I actually had friends walk in when I was playing and they thought it was an actual fight (for a few seconds anyway). The game play was a little stiff, and the wall between the fighters seemed a bit corny, but it was still the greatest boxing game I had ever played, and I continued to play it until EA released it’s Fight Night Round 4 demo.

EA Sports’ Fight Night Round 3 was one the most popular sports game ever to hit shelves (and not just for the easy achievements). The team behind the game managed to create a fun and realistic boxing simulation that was beautifully presented. As hard as it is to believe, EA has managed to top their previous outing in every way with this year’s iteration of the venerable series, Fight Night Round 4 . Read more

As a boxing fan Fight Night Round 4 delivers in all the areas that I was looking for it to improve on. It exceeds Fight Night Round 3 graphically by so much that it’s amazing to think how beautiful everyone thought Round 3 was in 2006. The fluid total punch control takes some getting used to, but turns the game into a more clear simulation of the sweet science instead of just a button masher, and the various modes add depth and value to the game making it not just a...
