I've recently rented this game and at first found incredibly amazing online and offline. However after really getting into the game I had to change my opinion on how great this game really is. The game has several types of game modes, the ones you will poor most of your time in will most likely be Career mode and Xbox Live. In career mode you start off as an amateur and work your way up to be the #1 ranked boxer in the world. It's addictive, but the career mode lacks some direction and goals, you basically just fight over and over again until your the best. So even if you are not that good of a gamer, you will eventually win. This will get repetitive after a while. More draw backs are some annoying bugs you will notice here and there and the over exaggerated advertisements; I'm surprised the cover of the game doesn't have a dodge vehicle or a whopper.
If you manage to master this game your best enjoyment will come from fighting opponents world wide on XBOX live or competing with your friend offline.
Graphically it looks really good. The sound is also very crisp and clear.
Overall the game has it's good qualities and addictive gameplay (especially online). It's flaws however keep it from being perfect.
