Fight Night Champion

After a component as good as Fight Night: Round 4, we wondered what that Electronic Arts could do to generate renewed enthusiasm for amateur boxing. Well believe it or not, the famous editor has managed not only to propose significant innovations but also to improve quality, already out of the ordinary, the previous edition. Now it is no longer a simple boxing game that it seems to turn on his console but a real interactive movie. Everything from boxers to the comments through the public has been optimized to immerse the player in the middle of a baffling experience of realism. The thud of fists crashed against a face distorted by the impact, the spray of sweat flying around the ring, the screams of a crowd electrified by the combat ... Every detail was looked after with a zeal that can only compel admiration, not only passionate about boxing, but simply a connoisseur of video games.Besides graphics and a soundtrack making the most of the capabilities of the console, Fight Night Champion has many assets to plunge the fans of the series one more year. First, its gameplay has been optimized taking into account the criticisms leveled at the latest installment. Thus, the assignment of different strokes the keys of pad  has become a triumphant return. The control system is always stick to the party (he has even been significantly improved to make 12 different movements) but the player can again use the buttons Round, Square, etc.. as in the first installment in the series. Moreover, the parades are much easier to perform and can strike while you are protecting. The management of the gauge endurance has undergone a small facelift while new opportunity available to us knockout (KO instant KO following a coup in the belly ...). In use, Fight Night Champion is just as fun to play and tactics. It is necessary to measure its movements, adjust its distance from the opponent, hitting at the right time ... In short, it is light years ahead of the primary bourrinage that some imagine. Despite traveling a little heavy, the action is fluid and you never get bored. In fact, the only real criticism that could really make on the impossibility of stopping an ongoing series. Indeed, after pressing for example three times in a row on a key, it must necessarily wait until our boxer has struck three times in order to regain control. In some cases this can be fatal, so it must always be careful not to bludgeon a touch silly at times of panic or excessive enthusiasm.With regard to game modes, Championship Fight Night delivers on the mat fighting the inevitable rapid training sessions, a classical career with his timing and his usual game mechanics (statistical booster, Sponsors prestigious meetings). There are also online features, a publisher of characters and the whole thing but the main novelty lies in a fashion totally new Champion. Fully scripted by a Hollywood size, it puts us in the shoes of Andre Bishop, a fictional boxer's career more agitated. Mature and often violent history that is told here looks raw but lucid on the world of amateur and professional boxing. Admittedly, it does not avoid clichés like the recurring honest coach refusing to compromise with the mafia will do anything to overcome their opponent or the foal psychopath does not shrink from cheating. Nevertheless, the numerous cinematic and staged fights that we are absolutely exhilarating connects. English voices (subtitled in French) are impeccable and dialogue worthy of a film by Coppola are tasty. Suffice to say that five or six hours we reserve the adventure will go really fast ..We can always fall back on the online, which for once we reserve an entire evening of chestnuts and other exchanges of hugs manly. Veterans Fight Night Round 4 left with happiness the world championship and ranked games they were used but the studio EA Canada wanted to go further this year by providing them with fully customizable virtual gyms. In the latter, it is possible to create our own boxers, fight players online, and even play a full season ending tournament. As it was not enough, the various gyms can challenge each other, causing that all their members in a competition without a thank you about 48 hours. Spreading at all levels, so this episode will undoubtedly crack all boxing fans who respect themselves. It is not without some flaws of course, but needless to cut hairs: Fight Night Champion is the new standard for HD boxing games. Point bar.
