Don King: Prizefighter

[LexChaney]

Just took around and used the search function as well, I noticed that it hasn't been mentioned on the board.

I am a fan of Boxing, but I have never really got into playing video game versions of it. I have played Knockout Kings, also Fight Night at a friends house and was never really that blown away by them, until I began to play Prizefighter

I found the controls very easy to use on Prizefighter, it took a while to get used them and then I was away in my merry own little world with the game.

The career mode has kept me sucked into the game, also the classic fights are a welcome addition to play as well.

The roster looks like this:

Huzzah for Joe Calzaghe.

I just hope that Chris Eubank pops up in one of the videos with his monacle and finely crafted country three piece suit to teach us the finer arts of "pugilism"...

The Facebreaker demo is kinda cool though.

It's not that good of a boxing game once you figure out how easy it is to win. The opponent AI is not very good either and there are clipping issues where head shots land like body shots and stuff. The career mode is good though, I enjoyed the storyline and the FMV segments. Some of the training games were fun too.

It is a quick game though and I got a little bit of fun out of it. Once you've played 8 - 10 fights though, the see how repetitive the AI is and you figure out the surefire way to victory.

Eubank and Benn? Best. Game. Ever purely to recreate some classic pugilism, only need Watson to recreate some of the best matches there ever was. That super middleweight division was awesome.
