Advantages: Great boxing game.
Disadvantages: none really!

...Graduating from the hit- and miss knockout king series. Ea changed its tactics and introduced fight night in 2004 - the boxing titles were never the same again. The latest next- gen iteration arguably provides the most realistic boxing game ever. With no competition on ps3, as it looks like ubisoft aren't bothering to bring their rocky license to the console, it wouldn't be that surprising if ea didn't work as hard on fight night as it perhaps might. Thankfully that isn't the case and, as the xbox360 version has demonstrated, fight night really one of the jewels in the publisher's crown. Total punch control - introduced in the first fight night version has demonstrated, fight night - returns and gives a greater influence over punching that any button combination ever could. While unwieldy at first, the use of the right analogue stick... Read review

Advantages: good graphics and lots of things to do in career
Disadvantages: Its hard to unlock all the things in fight store

...Fight Night Round 3 is a good game there are lots of different things you can do on it. With good graphics. You can choose what weight you’re going to fight in who you’re going to fight with and many more. The music on it is also good I liked some of them so much that I downloaded them. It loads much more quickly then some of the other psp games I have. Here are some things you can do on it: Play now- Choose what weight you’re going to have and choose your boxer and opponent your going to play against. Rival Challenges- You can repeat history and playing as the winner in classic rival matches. Change history- go into the last rounds of rival matches and change who wins. Learn how to defeat legends. Game Modes- Career mode I think this is the best part of the game. You can either rebuild a legend or create your own player. You... Read review

Advantages: Good graphics, Lots of unlockables
Disadvantages: Weak AI

...Fancy yourself as a bit of an Muhammed Ali or a Joe Frazier? Well with Fight Night Round 3 on the Xbox 360, you can step into a classic boxers shoes, or maybe start a career for yourself! The Fight Night series's first outing since the last-gen console certainly starts well. Within minutes you can fire up the Xbox, create a lifelike boxer, and be in the ring duking it out with the low rung boxers of your local circuit. The creation system is simple and effective, but for a gamer who wants to recreate themselves and shove them into the ring gloves first, the game offers an advanced version of the creation system. So now, you've recreated yourself, what does a boxer do now? Train of course! The training mini-games are still exactly the same from the last gen outing on the xbox and ps2. Weightlifting is mimicked by pushing the two... Read review

Advantages: Addictiveness and general fun of bashing all your friends!
Disadvantages: The damage you can do to your controller when you get carried away.. :oD

...An evolution in boxing games! Recently purchasing fight night round 3 i haven't been able to put the controller down although quite simple to complete in career mode, its a must have for online gaming and competing with friends but please be aware go easy on the control pads :oD My favourite parts of this game is that you actually have to learn how to pull of each of the punches with the analogue sticks, and you really have to learn how to parry punches! Its not a game you can put on and randomly tap buttons, the graphics are so lifelike and the movements are so smooth. Althought difficult to master, this is what makes this game so addictive a definite must have for the keen boxing fan!! The only flaws with this game i can see is how you cant keep them down first time you knock them down, they always get up on the first occasion. Unlike... Read review

Advantages: career mode, addictive
Disadvantages: lack of professional names

...I have always been quite a big fan of boxing, and when I saw this game at just £8 pre owned I thought id give it a go. Firstly as far as I know it’s the only boxing game available on the ps2 apart from the rocky game, which I have heard is no where as good, however I am yet to play on this. It was released in 2006 and there hasn’t been another one since but its still just as good graphics as the newest of ps2 games. There is a few things you can do on this game, if you just want the odd fight once in a while you can just do the odd fight or if you want to start up a career then you can choose either a professional boxer and build up his career or make your own boxer and try get him to the top of the game. The only downside to the game I see is that there aren’t enough professional boxers on there, there is about 30... Read review

Advantages: Brave and enjoyable to watch
Disadvantages: None really

.... His name is Ben and he is 3. Paul continues to fight and I hope, really hope many of you out there see him fight and give him much more support which is deserved! You may find him on Sky Sports 3. I have seen him a few times on a programme called 'Boxing Gold'. If not you can easily find flyers and leaflets containg information on fights and dates at most gyms! So why not try watching him, its a night out and your hardly ever not to enjoy yourself!

Advantages: Great controls for punching
Disadvantages: Can get a bit predictable

...Whether you are a fan of the noble art or not Fight Night Round 3 is a great game to play and has some great features. There is a great choice of boxing legends to choose from and you can make the matches that promoters can only dream about. In all you have three main play modes to choose from, career, one off fights and an ESPN classic mode. The controls certainly get a bit of getting used to as you use the left analogue stick to move the fighter and the right one to throw the punches so you will not need to mash loads of buttons but you will need some digital speed of movement and control to get the best from your fighter. By manipulating the stick you are able to throw jabs, hooks, uppercuts and the odd haymaker where you go for broke. It does take a bit of practice however it will pay off in the end and it gives the whole game... Read review

Advantages: Speed, Punching power.
Disadvantages: Defence slack as he holds his hands low

...Only just over a week to go now before a fight that will surely be one of the best in boxing history. On Saturday 7th April the fight in Las Vegas between Prince Naseem Hamed and Marco Antonio Barrera is poised to be a belter. Going into this fight Hamed is unbeaten, whereas Barrera has 3 losses on his pro record against Junior Jones (twice) and Erik Morales. The Morales fight was a highly contensious points defeat when many people thought that Barrera had won. The 2 losses to Junior Jones were at a time when Jones was at his peak and unrecogniseable to the Jones beaten by Paul Ingle last year. Hamed is well aware of the threat that Barrera poses in his quest to be recognised as the best pound for pound boxer in the world, and also to his unbeaten record. At the moment there is no arrogance from Hamed, no pre fight predictions and he... Read review

Advantages: stunning graphics, amazing gameplay, lots of action, never becomes boring
Disadvantages: the use of rap music is annoying

...Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Boxing games have always held my interest, there is nothing like sitting down and knocking seven bells out of an opponent to pass the hours and looking back now at the games I used to play on my Spectrum compared to Fight Night - Round 3 programmers have come a very long way in a short space of time. The pre-release reviews and screenshots of the game showed Fight Night - Round 3 in a very positive light with exceptional gameplay, cutting edge graphics and a banging, baseline tripping sound track. Costing £44.99 and produced by EA Sports, I had no hesitation in making this the second game to enter my XBox 360 collection. Most boxing games I have played in the past have been a little stagnant as far as character moves are concerned, with the only blows available being jabs, hooks and undercuts... Read review

Advantages: Fight fans will like it
Disadvantages: No extras

...The all new Ultimate Fighting Championship was under new management and just getting bigger and more mainstream with each event to the point where it is now getting bigger crowds than boxing and is mainstream tv in america. UFC lets fighters use all the skill from every martial art, boxing, kicking, wrestling, throws, submissions. There are 5 weight divisions and all the action takes place in the OCTAGON, 3x5 minute bouts with title fights 5x5. 5 fights in total are here. UFC throw down was held in the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. 2 belts are on the line, the first a middleweight bout with Dave Menne (champion) vs Brazilian Jiu Jitsu legend Murilo Bustamante. Not a great fight but entertaining enough. Russian Andrei Semenov takes on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu stand out Ricardo Almeida, this fight is a good encounter. Ricco Rodriguez... Read review
