Don King Presents: Prizefighter for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

As a huge boxing fan Ive always played every boxing game going back to mike tyson punch out on Nintendo.. Knock out kings Fight night all of em Ive played them..

But nobody had ever quite gotten the REAL feel of boxing.. The closest had been Fight night round 3..

A great game great Gfx but horrible career mode and not really realistic with the parrys which left an opponent just standing there for 2 or three seconds while you wailed at his face..

Then along came Prize fighter!!!

I'll go into the negatives first..

The gfx are great better than fight night, but some times the punches look weird after being thrown, the collision detection is also sometimes suspect, and over all its not a PERFECT game (8 over all) online is weak , no lobbys, rankings or belts.. pretty bare bones

With that being said if your a REAL boxing fan not just a Mike Tyson fan, not just a HUGE pay per view fight fan, if your really a fan then ur really going to love this game..

No one has ever come so close as to get the real feel of boxing before in pace and tone

you cant throw punches non stop since the stamina plays a huge factor after 2-4 punches your stamina is gone meaning you have to back up and regroup like real boxing..

sometimes even when u block punches get through ur guard like real boxing..

you cant throw super fast combos with out landing some punches like real boxing..

You can side step throw lunging punches, clinch, stick and move all with the real feel of a boxing match..

if the crosses didnt look so weak some times you would swear this was a real boxing match not a video game.. (2k's speacialty)

it does take some getting used to especially if ur used to playing fight night, since sometimes u have to wait for punches to come out before throwing the next one so to some it feels like the controls arent responsive, but I think thats by design and a feature like this game that you will either love or hate.

GFX- 8.5
Sound-9
Gameplay=8
