Although there are some discrepancies with balance – given the propensity for boxing fans to hale the heavier weights over smaller ones – the Fight Night roster is full of different styles and attributes to suit almost anyone. To this end there are fifty boxers to choose from in the Fight Night Champion roster, each a caricature of a real life legend or big name in the sweet science. The big news however, like most fighting based games, is on who you can play as in the game. With a demo for the game already released in anticipation, players will notice the similarities and differences between this new game and previous ones. In a departure from previous titles, the aesthetic direction of the game is said to create a grittier or more real interpretation of the sport, with a darker gloss layed over the animations, visuals and presentation.
This release continues on from the fourth installment, which was met with equal amounts criticism and praise, after a two year hiatus for the franchise. Fight Night Champion is the next iteration of the popular Boxing series of video games created by EA Sports.
