EA Sports has stepped up their boxing franchise, with their popular EA Sports Fight Night series, with the newest game of Fight Night Champion you get to fight in the squared circle against some of the most legendary boxers. This game has an intriguing storyline that will steal the show as you play as Andre Bishop through his trials and tribulations to become the Heavy Weight Champion of the world. In Champion Mode, you begin your story as Andre Bishop, the prisoner, with no knowledge of his past. Your 1st fight experience is when you begin Champion mode and you have to get up from a knockdown. Once you get up, the crowd you heard cheering you on are orange jumpsuit prisoners and your objective is to stay on your feet and not get knocked down again. There are 54 boxers you can play with in this game but Floy Mayweather is not in the game due to some contractual complications (or maybe he is ducking pac-man in the game too). Neither is Arturo Gatti in the game either due to his death. But with “Boxer Share” you can download custom made boxers by other EA Fight Night Champion players.
EA Sports has really stepped their game up and Fight Night Champion is the best boxing game that was ever created. If you loved all the other Fight Night games, then you will love this 1. Even if you never played any of the Fight Night games, this is the boxing game you will want to have. This is a great game from all the story modes you can play in, and graphically is it really great. Boxing fans will appreciate the details and craftsmanship they put into this Fight Night Champion game. If you think boxing is dead, you will change your mind once you play this game, at least boxing is alive in the video game world. I recommend this game to everyone and I would give it a 9/10 score and is a must have. Fight Night Champion is available on the PS3 and Xbox today 3/01/11 so go out and get it. Here is the entire roster of all the fighters in the game and the divisions they are in. Now get ready to rumble.
