Fight Night 2004

Fight Night 2004 Description

EA Sports is a massive presence in games retail. FIFA, NFL, NHL, NBA, F1, and SSX have all made names for themselves in the industry, as has Knockout Kings. Making a departure from the Knockout Kings franchise, EA has readied another in-depth 'box-em-up' aptly named Fight Night 2004 for PlayStation 2. And it's a departure for more than one reason. A brand new boxing game, Fight Night also boasts a new play mechanic. Focusing almost entirely on the Dual Shock analogue sticks, players are able to throw a broad selection of punches, block, and dodge via a simple directional push. It's remarkably fluid for a boxing game, and offers a superior level of control and accuracy. Like gameplay, character animation is fluid. All boxers have been brilliantly rendered to make what is a truly convincing virtual attempt at the hard-hitting sport. The cast of fighters includes Roy Jones Jr, Lennox Lewis, Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard amongst others. But if it's a single-player career you're looking for, feel free to partake in the game's career mode and create a boxer of your own. In addition to mastering your own techniques, you can customise ring entrances, theme music and even pyrotechnics. Fight Night 2004 is a great effort from Electronic Arts, and given the title's suffix, we wouldn't be surprised to see several more Fight Night games in the coming years.

Fight Night 2004 also features customizable ring entrances where you can assemble an entourage, choose your theme music, select your pyrotechnics and set the tone for the fight to follow in addition to an all-new physics-based action that assures no two knockdowns will ever be alike.
