Fight Night Round 3

Another 1000/1000 cheebs. It took me around 4 hours of play or so to complete this game, and what a 4 hours it was. Game play went as follows:

Hay-maker->Take Two Steps Back->One Step Forward->Hay-maker->Repeat

My record was 36-3, 36 K.O.s , 3 disqualifications(from kneeing crotches and elbowing faces when I knew I was going to lose.) Even on the easiest setting the IRL boxers in this game are sometimes unbeatable. They're just too fast, too strong and just bob and weave till you're so tired that you're punches are like a nice summer breeze.

Fight Night Round Three was the most repetitive game I've play in a long time. There was a money earning system, but there was nothing really worth buying after you play a few Pro-Matches. You leveled up by doing 1 of 3 mini-games. I only did the weight lifting and combo dummy as they were the only one's that improved your important stats. Both games were annoyingly tough and not fun, not fun at all. There was even a mini game in-between rounds that you'd use cue tips to slow bleeding of cuts. This involved me just rolling the control stick in a side to side motion, not really sure how to succeed but if you don't know how to succeed then you don't know how to fail either. And fail I did not.

With all this negative talk, there is something viscerally exciting about landing a bone crunching hook or uppercut on your opponent. Charlie would often come into the room as I was playing and be easily sucked in by the games glitz and glamour. But once you get past that the game is less complicated than Tetris.

And the babes were always welcome inbetween each round to get my B goin'.
