Project Gamers: Fight Night 4 Review: A Knockout Thriller!

Tim from Project Gamers writes: Not many people get to experience the thrill of a knockout punch: the solid junction of fist and face, a devastating blast, knocking your opponent down for good. While most of us won't ever deliver a knockout, a knockout is exactly what you get out of EA's Fight Night 4. The thrill of the main event is fully captured in the fourth iteration of this boxing sports game. Whether you are an avid fan of boxing, just a general fan of sports, or simple a fan of great games, Fight Night 4 is a must play for all gamers, for this game delivers punch after punch of great fun. While there isn't a ton of variety in the game, what is there is enough to satisfy just about anybody.

To be honest, I myself was skeptical at how good this game could be. I was curious as to how long I would be entertained by simply pummeling my opponent over and over. What I soon found out that even a simple Fight Now fight is crazy fun, and it starts with the amazing animations. The graphics are top notch. Everything is animated on the boxer's bodies: their muscles flex as they punch, their skin sweats, and the body motions look authentic. You shed beads of sweat when you swing, land a big punch and spit and blood will fly from your opponent, swings look and feel real. Every thing down to the knockdown looks all too real, and it is the knockdown where this game shines.
