Fight Night Round 3 Critic Reviews
EA Sports' Fight Night series has progressed over time to become one of the best boxing franchises ever. This year, EA brings the series to new heights with Fight Night Round 3, the first boxing game to make the next-gen leap to the Xbox 360. Of course,...read the complete Fight Night Round 3 review at UnderGroundOnline
the game: EA could stand to have its announcers cough up more than a few lines of voiceover, but its designers have worked overtime on the ambience, from the sweat-stained grunge of urban clubs to the electricity of a sold-out Madison Square Garden. Worth...read the complete Fight Night Round 3 review at The Onion
Fight Night is a far bigger improvement on Round 2 than Round 2 was on the original. I'd have bought it for the changes in punching and style options alone, much less the vastly improved graphics, sound, and other fringe benefits....read the complete Fight Night Round 3 review at Netjak
Fight Night Round 3 may not have a spotless career, but with such hard hitting graphics and intense Vs. action, we're willing to forgive its foibles and trumpet its unparalleled successes....read the complete Fight Night Round 3 review at Game Revolution

The last boxing game I really got into was a long long time ago. I do not remember the title, but I played it on a “portable” computer that was approximately the bulk of a large suitcase, weighed over 50 pounds, and had a 4 inch yellow screen. Still,...read the complete Fight Night Round 3 review at Gamer Within
If a single game embodies the raw power of the new generation of consoles, it's Fight Night 3. At first glance, this could be mistaken for an actual televised event.

Fight Night Round 3 is setup pretty much like Round 2, but with a few changes. They have kept the Total Punch Control (TPC) system they introduced in the first Fight Night back in 2004.

Boxing games are difficult to make. I've had a long history with them myself, lamenting the success of button-mashers and enjoying the smarter ones over the last twenty plus years. EA, the king of sports games, has not had a terrible amount of success in...read the complete Fight Night Round 3 review at AtomicGamer
That's why Fight Night is so special, as it actually recreates the sport so accurately that you can come away from a bout and actually have learned something about the sport itself. It looks fantastic, plays wonderfully, sounds superb and feels just right...read the complete Fight Night Round 3 review at AceGamez
boxing ring in a gritty gym to a fully packed Madison Square Gardens. In the audio department, FNR3 wins by a split decision. The sound effects like the booming punches are fantastic. The commentary is serviceable, but very repetitive. Youll hear th...read the complete Fight Night Round 3 review at XboxAddict

I’d received the game from one of the rent-by-mail services and had played around with it a bit, but on this particular night I had resolved to really get into this game and learn all about it for this review.

Ever since EA ditched Knockout Kings back in 2003, the Fight Night series has been the undisputed champion of video game boxing.

Boxing is ironically nicknamed "The Sweet Science" and no game has better captured the mix of physicality, strategy, athleticism, and brutality of the sport like EA's Fight Night series. Why? Because of the controls. The game uses the two analog sticks...read the complete Fight Night Round 3 review at GamerDad
THE BIG THING FOR developers these days is to minimalise on-screen displays. HUDs have recently become more and more cluttered, giving players meters or gauges for everything possible. While some of these are necessary, most of them could be replaced by...read the complete Fight Night Round 3 review at Gameplanet

The 360 is still in its infancy, so gamers are reluctantly hungering for each new game release, regardless of the product’s quality.

To many, myself included, boxing seems very much like a sport in which grown men pound each other senseless for others’ enjoyment. Of course there’s more to boxing than that, but besides the movies we’ve seen, the sparse terminology we’ve picked...read the complete Fight Night Round 3 review at GamingExcellence
