In addition, when it's in trouble, the AI will be more apt to clinch you than I seem to remember from Fight Night Round 3, which can be especially frustrating when you know you've got your foe on the ropes. If you're fighting as Pacquiao, your CPU opponent will look to make the most of Hatton's inside fighting skills conversely, playing as Ricky Hatton, you'll be going up against a strong and fast Manny, whose skill can change the face of a fight in a heartbeat. Still, the amount of toe-to-toe fighting is surprising-even when fighting against the AI, you'll spend a good deal of time standing up and slugging it out against your opponent, as opposed to moving around the ring. The development team's decision to move most of the punches to the right stick (including most body blows) makes up-and-down combinations a breeze and you'll be stacking together intricate four- and five-punch combos with relative ease.
When compared to UFC and, especially, Fight Night Round 3, FN4 plays like a different beast altogether, with punches flying faster than round 1 of Hearns vs. No doubt about it, Fight Night Round 4 is running at a crisp 60 frames per second one toe-to-toe flurry of punches in the center of the ring will tell you that. The demo's sole fight venue is the Boardwalk Hall.Ī few of observations after playing several fights in the demo: Interestingly, despite his reputation as perhaps the greatest pound-for-pound boxer in the business, Pacquaio is only rated an 85 overall (compared to an 81 overall for Hatton). From there, you can take play a three-round welterweight fight between Hatton and Pacquiao, which are the only fighters available in the demo.
The FN 4 demo, which comes in north of 700 MB, features a full tutorial (using Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao) that gives you a basic run-through of the controls. I also have preview code in my possession of Fight Night 4 but, due to embargoes, I won't be writing about the larger game until the week after E3. On Tuesday we had our GameSpot Community Game Night, featuring THQ's UFC 2009 Unleashed and today the demo for EA Sports' upcoming Fight Night Round 4 was released on Xbox Live. It's been a good week for the fight fans around GameSpot HQ.
