About this product

Product Information

Fight Night: Round 3 makes its Xbox 360 debut with a new graphics engine that allows players to gauge their rival's health and energy simply by watching his dynamic facial expressions and body cues. The analog punch system from the 2005 version has returned with new punch types, each of which can shift a fight's momentum if landed correctly. The haymaker punch is now harder to connect, but it is also more powerful. The new flash KO punch can overpower a boxer in one hit, putting him in the dangerous position of being knocked out, while the stun punch switches the default third-person view to a first-person perspective as players attempt to finish off their stunned opponent with a devastating blow. While these impact punches can change the course of a fight within a few seconds, they are considered high-risk swings that can leave a boxer vulnerable to counter moves.<br><br>The career mode from the series has undergone a few changes to offer a more personal approach to a boxer's legacy. Rivalries will now be created from key match-ups, flamboyant claims at press conferences, and clashes during weigh-ins, allowing players to square off against their heated rivals in multiple rematches for fame, money, and respect. Players are also free to re-create some of the sport's greatest bouts with the included roster of legends from different eras and weight classes, whether it's Ali versus Frasier, Leonard versus Hagler, or Gatti versus Ward. As an added bonus, the game features <I>ESPN Classic</I> footage of the real-life fights that helped shape the sport. All of the featured play modes from 2005's game have made the transition to Round 3, although the create boxer option now lets players choose from multiple styles in footwork, punching, and blocking for greater customization. Online support is also included for head-to-head matches against players from around the world.

    I love this game!

    I highly recommend this boxing game. You really can’t go wrong with the price. I used to have this game years ago, but I leant it to a friend and never got it back. I decided to rebuy it, and I’m glad I did. My only complaint is that I feel like when I had it years ago I had more options when creating a boxer. But the game is super fun and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    Its Just EA Sports

    Ok, I've had all the fight nights and after deciding I hated 4 and Champion primarily because they stink. ( For me the no push buttons and poor fight controls and stupidly hard training in 4 and the fantastically stupidly hard training in Champion as well as opponents with ESP who know exactly when you're going for the body etc etc etc.) I decided I'd go back to my favorite. FN 3. And sure enough they had it for the 360. So far so good. Now don't get me wrong, FN 3 had harebrained drawbacks only EA could manage; in career mode no real rankings, a bizarre rival system where just about every belt fight you face one of your rivals, an absolutely set pattern to your career etc etc etc. But the feel of the fight controls and the fighting itself I always felt was as close to real boxing ( I was actually a boxer) as I was going to get. Unlike Champion dudes don't take downs every 3rd punch, so you can get some pretty good fights going. So how is it on the 360? Just gotta have much better graphics right? Nope. They fiddled with the player faces and tried to improve the gear but failed miserably. It actually looks worse then the XBOX version. With the chance to upgrade they just had to fix the stupid stuff right? Nope, the stupid stuff was left unchanged, and the fighting feels as though it was tweaked and just seems off. Way to go EA. AND there are now numerous glitches that pop up in career mode, like your fighter's hair style, (try and keep a buzz cut on a fair skinned dude) in the promo that announces the past or coming fight I get some totally different dude then my created fighter, and slow out of sync loading etc etc etc. So, in sum, FN 3 for the 360 is just another warm plop from EA who should change their name to ETC ETC ETC with their motto being: " Just give us your money and forget about the game. You have no choice, there is no competition." But what are you gonna do? There's nothing else out there. If you can't stand 4 or Champion like me, you might as well give it a go---- 4 bucks or so on eBay. Its worth that much, anyway.

  • One of the greatest of all time

    I really cannot decide which is the greatest boxing game of all time, Fight Night Round 3 or Fight Night Champion. The newer game is more realistic for sure, with better graphics and polish, but this one has a certain style to the graphics and gameplay that make it such a fun game its hard to deny. I would argue that no collection is complete without both, and which disc goes into the console depends on the temperament of the day and whose company you're in. This one is epic and flashy, and it didn't seem cartoony at the time but it certainly seems that way after you've played Fight Night Champion.

  • The Disc Recieved Was Broken

    I recieved my order on time and happily only for my console to crash upon the loading screen four different times alerting me that the disc is unreadable. I tried to remedy this to no avail. In the end I was sold a broken copy of the game.
