One word describes the Demo.... Amazing.
Now I really can't wait for the full game, It looks like there is a lot more in the ams which is something I wanted them to add to and the barefist looks graet too, add to that the champion mode and we have a potential great boxing game finally!!
I really like this demo, it seems so much more realistic from the way the fighters move to the way they throw the punches. It takes some getting used to, its about time you get flash knockouts too. The video for Champion mode looks amazing, seems like they've really tried to get a proper story that focuses on life outside the ring too. I think its a massive step up from FNR4, really impressed with it so far.
One thing that annoys me is I keep getting one punch KO'd by Pacquiao :mad: I managed to put him down once but he got back up and took me out later in the same round
What's the point me buying this game if froch isn't on it
Don't they usually put out updates with more fighters on them? In Round 4 didn't they add like 10 boxers?
I still play FN4 all the time even after 18 months
anyway i downloaded demo and had couple of games - initially i don't like it ! (but I'm bound to say that right as its change !?)
Seems clunkier and you don't get the same effect for punches landing as you did in FN4
I was one punch kayoed though - no ref count - so thats a good sign as we not had that for years
I will persevere am sure it will grow on me.
Also dont like the fact you can use buttons. Fine in legacy mode but online I dont want to fight guys using buttons
Okay, after about 60 rounds of Boxing, I think i've finally managed to deal with Ali ;DQuote:

Everything about Pacquiao is phenomenal in this game.

The best I've done is get a draw when I've knocked him down in one of the rounds, but even then you can't finish him off. I've pretty much given up trying after the last time. I floored him with a body shot about 90 seconds into the first, but I couldn't get close the rest of the fights. I usually have some success if I drive him back into the ropes and mix up combinations to the body and head, and I can land some good counters after slipping some of his punches, but he usually flurries and gets the better of the exchanges.
Love the game though, seems much more realistic and I really like the different punch variations you can throw. The champion mode looks excellent too.
Saying all this, I finally beat him. Knocked him down in the 2nd round and hurt him 3 times in the 3rd with bodyshots. Enough for a 29-27 scorecard from all the judges. I think I'll be leaving Ali alone now until the game comes out next month :DQuote:
