they are both fun for me. 3 is more of a challenge though. i can just unload punches on FNR2 and not block a single punch and my opponent will go down sometimes twice in the first round while im still at full health and stamina. 2 also has marciano, 3 does not. thats a big difference for me bc he is my favorite fighter. but overall i guess i'd say FNR3 is better.
