RipTen Review: Fight Night Champion is a Heavyweight Hitter

RipTen: Fight Night Champion is truly a breath of fresh air for the long running series. Champion mode has a great and involving story with well written characters, exhilarating fights and a superb soundtrack to top it off.

I don't think I've ever played one of these titles. Nice review.

Ziriux4809d ago

Why even comment if you never played a title.

Than again I say nintendo in your username and why would you since your system can't handle such beauty.

Cinotix4809d ago

@ Ziriux

lame insult dude just lame.

KingNintendoFanboy4809d ago

Hey man, Punch-Out!! is beautiful in its own way. :(

Urrakia344809d ago

Jesus take a chill pill dude. If your not allowed to comment on games we've never played then don't comment on Battlefield, SOCOM, Resistance, etc. And he didn't even say anything negative, he even complimented the review. Can you be anymore of an a**hole???

CrzyFooL4809d ago

As if anyone thought this would be bad? Every Fight Night is awesome. It's one of EA's most bankable franchises.

Stunt4809d ago

I heard you like to get punched in the face.

Sigmarue4809d ago

It has a story? Color me impressed.

Ziriux4809d ago

Not as good as the show lights out.

Ziriux4809d ago

I still to this day think that FNR 3 is the best out of all graphically and gameplay and I love the haymaker.

CrzyFooL4809d ago

Yeah but the story in this one is awesome. Especially when most sports games don't have any story whatsoever.

Fight Night Round 5: We Want A New Fight Night Game

It’s been almost a decade since the critically acclaimed Fight Night Champion, the final title in a series of beloved boxing video games from Electronic Arts. Since 2011, the studio has been focused on its mixed martial arts title, UFC, instead. But with the rise of the popularity of boxing again, thanks to fighters like Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury, could we possibly have another Fight Night game on the way?

I honestly cannot state enough just how much i want a new fight night!!!

Boxing is one of my fav sports to watch and it has been way to long since iv had a game to enjoy.

Undisputed looks like a ps3 game, cmon EA, stuff UFC, give the people what we really want which is a boxing game!!!

cnote00462d ago

I agree we need another fight night, however undisputed, I’d have to part ways with that ps3 claim.

IT'SSSSSSSS FIIIIIIGHT NIIIIIIGHT!!!!
I hope they make it like round four instead of champions but ill take any fight night at this point

Dabigsiebowski462d ago

They need to go back to the good roots of FN R2 and FN R3. Everything after watered down the formula too much and enabled gimmicks. FNR2&3 are some of the greatest fighting games ever.

Kurt Russell462d ago

3 was fun and you could smash out so many haymakers. But I found 4 more technical and enjoyed it for that too.

navi87462d ago

At least in 3 you had to wind up your shots, it was more skill based as opposed to 4 where you just held down L1 or R1 whilst flicking the analogue stick.

navi87462d ago

Agreed, i played FNR 3 the most on Xbox 360 back in the day and using the analogue sticks to kinda mimic punches thrown was fun af. FNR 4 ruined it by just flicking the analogue stick to throw hooks, felt really unintuitive after the previous games.

isarai462d ago

They'd ruin it like they do everything these days

10 Best Forgotten Sports Game Franchises That Should Come Back

From Xfire: "Sports games are the average Joe's best chance at getting to play under the big bright lights with thousands of people in the stands watching their every move. It doesn't matter if you're a hoops junkie or a baseball fan, sports video games let you live out your hopes and dreams."

In the words of the great Stone Cold Steve Austin Ooooh Hell Yeeeeah!!! lol. Also it would be sweet if EA gave us a new Def Jam Fighting game with a roster of Rappers that's unheard of. Biggie.Pun.Pac.Jam Master Jay.Eminem.JayZ.Eazy E.MGK.Naz. and over 60 of the best rappers ever past and present. One can only hope.

Deebo_slice1384d ago

Hell, I will take remaster of Champion. PLEASE!
