Hands on prew from IGN below:

http://ie.xbox360.ign.com/articles/113/1134132p1.html

Game sounds cracking! Never played any of the other games, not a hug boxing fan but Champion mode just sounds like a great idea. Graphics look unreal all together and it just got an M rating to boot. Debut trailer below.

Fight Night Round 4 is class,pity the roster wasn't as good as Round 3's(although you can download Boxers in FNR4 for a fee of course).If you enjoyed the stand up in EA MMA then Fight Night is very similar except heavier & better excecuted.Just read the preview before I posted this,pity it was on crappy ign.com.

Ya, hate IGN, actually saw it on Kotaku. Ya, pity EA MMA didn't look this good. I never watch boxing just MMA but I spent most of my time in EA MMA boxing anyway! Will be keeping my eye on this anyway! Might even pick up FN 4 cheap around Christmas, get the feel of it (or is 3 better) whatever has the better career mode.

I Barely ever watch boxing but I enjoy Fight Night Round 4 & I recommend it if you can get it cheap.The Career mode in Fight Night is very dull though,i'm hoping they take some of the lessons learned in EA MMA career,but it doesn't have Bas Rutten who is unreal in MMA.Got EA MMA on wednesday i've awful problems defending the Clinch & the takedown but i'm improving.Love playing as Mousasi, Cung Le & Nick Diaz. Hate playing Mayhem Miller & his fecking clinch.

sheehy83 · 13-11-2010, 04:11

Ya Bas was a definite highlight in that! Career def sounds class in this one. You start in prison doin bare knuckle fights. Your dad is dead, possibly cuz of your next opponent, sounds like a new age rocky movie!

Ya, I remember fighting against Cung Le first time. Expecting the clinch or takedown, he comes out swinging with spinning back kicks, was class. havn't played ea mma since black ops and brotherhood coming out friday so I will be kept busy til christmas. Then I want to pick up Hot Persuit and Fallout. Typical all the good games come out at the same time.

It's class alright, sounds like a custom track, very dramatic. Couldn't find it so I said i'd try Gamefaqs as surely it would be on their boards but I only found your post haha

Minstrel27 · 13-11-2010, 10:37

I will pick this up further down the line. It wont be a day one purchase.

Jazzy · 13-11-2010, 11:53

I think in ign's preview they said buttons are in.The Stick control is made easier with only flicking in the direction no turning the analogue stick to do a uppercut for example.

Found the original

but its a remix in the trailer
here it is

sheehy83 · 03-02-2011, 19:20

Demo is out, what ye think?

I never played the series before, got my ass kicked! Seems ok, was expecting to be a bit better but I don't know how this compares to earlier titles in the series. I'd say the camp mode is good tho.

richymcdermott · 03-02-2011, 20:43

Played the demo , liked it way more than the previous 2 games plus the demo has online to fight a buddy

eugeneious · 03-02-2011, 20:45

I really enjoyed the demo, tbh i didn't really like the whole analogue stick control system in round 4 so i'm really pleased you just use the regular buttons in this one also i think the graphics are brilliant even tough there isn't a huge change. Can't wait until it comes out now!

gilberto_eire · 04-02-2011, 15:21

Have to say it's pretty good.

But maybe it's just because you can use the buttons again, i never took to any of them as much as i did the last one on the PS2 that used buttons- Knockout Kings i believe(before switching the name to Fight Night)
I could never throw a jab or left hook with the analogue.

You can actually feel the difference in the fighting styles between Tyson and Ali, i prefer Tyson, mainly because it's too hard to keep the reach with Ali(although it's pretty cool when you do and your hitting him with your lightening jab) and I prefer by default to just block and bob and weave so Tyson works better for me.

Maybe my opinion is influenced by the fact I've only lost 3 games from well over 15 against 2 of the lads.
One fight i KO'd him within 30seconds with one knockdown... that's only happened once though.

Some of the finishing punches don't come off too well but I've landed 2/3 good knock-downs and they looked good.
