Fight Night : Round 3
I bought Fight Night : Round 3 the other day. I was going to buy Full Auto but decided to buy a sports game instead to help round out my collection of games. I realize that Full Auto hasn’t gotten very good reviews but I really liked the demo and am pretty sure I’d like the retail game as well.
As far as FNR3 goes so far I like it, I played the previous games on the XBOX1 and enjoyed them too. I’m a boxing fan so the genre in general is of interest to me. The game is fun and while I’m not finished it I will give some suggestions that I really think would have made FNR3 a MUST HAVE title.
My suggested improvements to the game:1) let the player chose rivals (loss, tie or length of fight lets the player tag rivals, not just guys you know you can slaughter)2) let the player use their own money to buy / create matches with rivals3) more pre-game press release stuff, i'm near the end of the game and I've only seen one pre-game event that was over so quickly I didn't even know what was going on4) better game AI, while it's okay the game seems to suggest to use the impact punches yet the AI doesn't use them very often, certainly not often enough5) manager type mode. boxing depends a LOT on your trainer and manager to 1) get you good fights, 2) help you increase your strength, skills 3) promote and generate good hype around your boxer. almost NONE of this is evident in the game and it should be6) training mini-games don't seem to have as much "physical" effect on your boxer. I've created a VERY power heavy boxer that should be an absolute muscle bound monster yet he looks, moves and feels the same as he did when I first opened the box7) some of the commentary gets very repetitive not only the announcer but the trainer. I would even accept to get rid of the trainer's voice and simply put a nice text field in there with information depending on your trainer chosen, his area of expertise, how he sees the fight going, some suggestions for fighting your opposition. do the same for the opponent trainer screen.8) hello? interesting achievements where are you? where is the "win the fight using only the left jab?" achievement? Where is the "win the fight by decision when knocked down 3+ times during the match"? Where are the online achievements?FN:R3 is a great game but it could be so much better. Graphics are one thing but it seems like the gameplay could have been expanded on so much as well.
