Gametrailers: The Fight: Lights Out Review

With this much bluster, you'd expect an experience that would at least occasionally reward the amount of sweat that The Fight: Lights Out quite literally requires you put into it.

You cant tell if you have a good blocking stance. Oh wait doesn't that mean I have to put my hands in front of my face. Oh and if your a tall guy fighting a midget your punches will go over their head if you throw them strait DUHH. Jesus this guy doesn't know how to fight at all, whats wrong with people?

[Igneel]

''Oh and if your a tall guy fighting a midget your punches will go over their head if you throw them strait DUHH''

The problem is that in Real life even if you're fighting a Shorter Guy You'd Still be able to Aim in their direction even if they're shorter then you. Here the problem is that You can'T do that.

When it hampers your review on a game yea it does.
Thats what you see people who exercise love it, people who don't hate it.

[Igneel]

The same could be said about Kinect games @ Tdogg. People who have fun Dancing would love a Game like Dance Central but people who dont find any interest in it probably wont. Same for the YoGa games and so on.

I have found this game to be insanely fun. I also find it to be dead on accurate. I don't know if these reviewers are shi††ing on the game because they're lazy but I have a completely different experience when I am playing.

The only flaw I have with the game is the transparency (or lack there of)....which is being patched soon (apparently)

Nothing more rewarding than watching your avatar match your motion for uppercuts and landing them on screen.

Well when you watch GT review, when they hardly even explain the reason for their score, you know something fishy is going on.. But what can I say, I have yet brought this game. And I think Sony made one stupid mistake. Why don't they add a joystick on the bulb wand then separating into 2 different controller? For shooter maybe, but games such as this fighting, we want too can move our character!

[Chubear]

Yes Kinectimals caters to "a kiddy causal demographic" - 8.5

The Fight - does not cater to casuals or hardcore in any remote way - 3.5

...lmao. If you truly listen and let these gaming sites influence your gaming, there is no other way to put it - you're a blind dumb sheep and gaming PR groups love you.
.

let me clarify. Hey, if you think The Fight is a 3.5 then hey, that's what it is. You use a standard and rate it at that and that's fine... but what standard are you using to rate Kinectimals, not a 3.5 or a 4.5 or a 6 not even a 7 but an 8.frikgen5?

Yeah, the who-will-pay-us-the-best-Adver tising-space-dollars-for-my-ga m ing site standard I'm assuming. :/

better yet why is Eyepet (catering to the same "demographic" a 7 but Kinectimals an 8.5 (which is a very big difference in rating) It's not like they gave Eyepet 7 and KM a 7.2 or 7.9.. frikgen 8.5?.. and Heavenly Sword an 8 but Boom Blox 8.5? dont' give me that "different genres" BS. There are standards to games otherwise barbie's pony adventures would routinely get 9.5s out the wazoo.

[Mr_Bun]

To be fair, some PS3 sites have been raping this game of it's dignity as well. I don't think it is a money issue.

All I can guess is that people who can't throw a punch in real life seem to hate this game. Maybe the problem is that the camera is off to one side a bit which can throw your aim. I aim for my camera and I can hit my target in his left nut if I want.

The accuracy seems spot on for me. I'm glad other people have been vocal about enjoying this game because I wouldn't have picked it up otherwise.

Ah ha ha ha. Look at the video. That game tracks your motion exactly and accurately. What you see is what you play. Right there.

That guy isn't boxing but petting a cat or something. WTH. Get your stance right and through a right bunch. Yeah, guess you have to try doing it right - almost like in real live, you know. That game is unforgiving. Shows it pretty clearly in that video. Man, he can't even hit that sparings guy correctly. Only trouble I have there is my left hand undercut. Just shows how I suck with that swing.

[Tapewurm]

I have had this game for a few days and I am sore all over lol. What people don't mention is that your fighter levels and gets stronger and more stamina and a larger move list as you train and fight your way up the ranks.... it's sort of like an RPG of the Fighter world. In my case...the lighting and head tracking work just fine and it says light and head tracking "good" when I set it up. The first fight as a noob was a brutal butt whoopin' on me...but after I went to gym and hit the speed bag and sparred a little I earned a few points to put into my strength, stamina and other abilities and went back a layed the smack down....as your fighter levels his way up the ranks, he controls better and his attacks are more effective.....one of the best and most interesting fighting games I have played.....this game is really fun. But you have to stay in one spot while playing....it works really well...surprised by all the crap reviews....this game deserves better.

[N4Great]

i don't know if this game is good (new patch, someone ?)but i know Gametrailers is really biased toward ps3, and move, time crisis review was a joke, sport champion also.

shame on ms whores !

[Balt]

I'm about to make a video if I could get my bandmates in order to do it. And it'd be the proper way to calibrate The Fight -- Train in Fight -- Fight in fight -- And have massive amounts of fun tweaking your style and changing it up. We've taken Red Dead, Vanquish, Castlevania and laid them to the side for this game and it's been worth it the last few days. We laugh and just has fun with it. It works flawlessly in the room it set up at too.

[DMason]

Im willing to give it a rent if they have it at Blockbuster, and if its decent, Ill pick it up. I cant keep playing Sports Champions over and over again, I need some new motion gaming.

[im-12-years-old]

Reviewers playing follow the leader

[DanteKnightsTemplar]

MMMmmm... .reminds me of how corrupt the VG awards are....mmmmm

[IGOTEVERYSYSTEM]

American Consumers are spoiled and the reviewers are idiots !
They rate every Sony exclusive low no matter what. The fight is excellent if you know how to fight and do t mind sweating and being sore in the morning .lol it's great for burning calories and better than any kinect game period. Gt5 should get what ever score because they had way to many delays so they will take points off for anxiety ..lol

[Fishy Fingers]

Actually got to play this yesterday, "fun" for about 10 minutes, anymore than that, I'd likely start punching myself in the face.

[TooTall19]

I think the game is a lot of fun. I play for a few hours a day.

[Mr_Bun]

Serious question:
Did you not enjoy it due to the physical requirement that accompanies this game?

[Ju]

I think that's the best line I've seen so far.

Besides "Multiplayer", "Single Player", "1080p" (or something), "2 Player" and so on they should add a line to the box:

"physical requirements: certain fitness standards"

It is a sports (!) game. One of the first which actually deserves that title.

[St0]

Probably would've got a 7/10 if it was on 360 & used kinect

[Mr_Bun]

No kidding...apparently "Potential" is an automatic 5/10

[Buffniceguy]

I have it I play it everday no complants from me.

[Miths]

I really can't recall the last time I've so strongly disagreed with so many "professional" review scores.
Around 12-14 of the 18 reviews at Metacritic are so far off the mark in my opinion that it's like they've been playing an entirely different game.

The more I play The Fight the more I feel it's at least a solid 8 as a game (initial impressions had me sitting somewhere between 7 and 8) and damn near a 10 if I had to rate it as an exercise tool.

Two Move controllers are must though. I've tried it with Move+DS3 and it's playable, but it certainly cripples the experience significantly.

[Ju]

It's just shows what bunch of nerds game reviewers actually are. Get out a bit more damn. Anybody with wealthy motor skills can play that game. Couch potatoes who think the only muscle you need to move in sports games is a thumb, well, probably not so much.

[chiwoo]

i got the game and its fun dont act like your playing wii sports boxing its not gonna work you gotta play right which is why some reviewers are having a hard time

[Psychic_Waffle]

The game is getting what it deserves.

Trash scores for a trash game. Move on.

[Wh15ky]

Have you played it?
Have you spent a significant amount of time in the training modes to level up your fighter?
Have you played through many of the events and unlocked the dirty moves?
Have you nailed many fights?

If you have then I'm interested in hearing your reasons for leading you to think it's a trash game. If you haven't then I'd suggest you do before you comment.
