Compared to games like Fight Night or even OB, the boxing is sooo robotic, and don't get me wrong I've not just took the first example I've seen, I've cruised around youtube looking at numerous videos but in every single one I find myself pulling this face D: when watching them robots box. I'm still tempted to rent it but you can't hide the fact that they've clearly missed the whole point of a boxing game.

Yeah, I thought it looked really robotic in the videos too, that was one of my biggest concerns, but the videos don't really portray the feel of the game. When you're actually playing it it doesn't seem so robotic like that. I wouldn't say it's quite as pretty animation-wise as FN, but it's nothing you really take notice of mid-fight.

So what do you give it out of 10? Because if you have noticed gamers have gave there own rating and don king prize fighter has never gotten anything over 6 enless its by someone completely blind.
Our very own Tyrant ob player gave the game 6.5 i think and thats being very generous.
Ganranteed if i read a games mag with this game in it the score will be below 7 but hey you didnt prove much in that post anyway so good for you.
Doesnt matter what you say man the fact is it sucked because of a bad roster and gameplay them two things will kill any boxing game.

Well it should matter what I, and anyone in here says, the thread is a discussion about the game =P.

I'm pretty positive about it, just not the online mode as of yet. So many people are complaining about the online rapid health regen that I'm sure they'll pop in and tweak it. I normally don't expect companies to do that kind of thing, but 2k fixed some major problems with NHL 2k8 a couple weeks after release, so I'm sure they'll tweak Prizefighter too.

Again, a good 85% or more of the "reviews" I've seen are written by people who reviewed after getting schooled after playing the game for 5 minutes without getting good with the controls (or knowing them, for that matter!)

Overall I thought single-player was better than FN, but I guess with all the controversey and side-takers surroudning the game, it's probably a safe bet to rent it and try it yourself - but don't judge it until a couple hours in when you've gotten a little more used to the controls. Like I said, alot of people came in after playing for 10 minutes with, "OMFG THIS GAME SUCKS!", and then came back a couple hours later with, "Now that I learned the controls, this is pretty sweet!"

Here are my impressions of super Rocky...uh...i mean prize fighter lol

I think this is a good game, unfortunately it came out several years too late.

Pros
There are some good things about prizefighter I do like. I like how you really have to work to win a round. The fights I have had online, I have really had to fight very strategically to win a round, especially since its impossible to knock someone down. I like the fact the roster has a lot of current boxers and some classics. The venues and being able to fight on 50's black and white TV adds to the atmosphere. To me Prizefighter has a nice presentation better than FightNights. The biggest thing I like is you cant be cheesed out of a win because someone decided to exploit the jab glitch found in fight night. Or the washing machine defense, you know, the one where you whirl on the analog and block the body so you can never be hit.

Cons

Controls are a bit dodgy. I find my boxer unintended punches because of the push button layout. Most fighting games you have to time 2 consecutive punches in order to do a combo. this one. If you input consecutive jabs or rights, you will not be able to move until the combo is completed.

Dashing is a bit over exaggerated. if somone wanted to exploit this gaping hole, It would make it very hard to hit them. When you dash away, you can cover almost the entire ring. That will become a problem if someone decided to abuse this.

No extra camera angles. I havnt seen an option for it yet.

not enough defensive options. I like the parry system in Fightnight. Even though people find it cheap, when it is used correctly, it adds a lot more depth in FN than what prize fighter has.

There are many other reasons why I feel FN is a better game, but I can enjoy PrizeFighter for what it is. It is super Rocky if you are familiar with the Rocky series. Ill give it a 7.0 thats being generous.

super rocky lol dam i wonder what the rocky series got i should look up there score.

I am one of the few people on the planet who liked rocky and wished it was online. But the comment was more for those who crapped all over fight night and rocky and said this game would be the second coming of Jeebus.

Now they are playing rocky with a new paint job lol.

Prize fighter is just a diffrent game, if you cant cut it in fight night or cant stand it, this game is for you.
