For our Gamestop (don't know if you have these) they were the first one in Tri-state area ( Pennsylvania,New Jersey,New York) to get it on Tuesday evening. My jaw dropped when they said they released it on Tuesday and I didn't have it.

Out of all the fight night's this is easily by far the best and as for other games this ranks up there with the very best of them. You have a legacy mode,you can schedule fight dates,check IM's. It looks as if they done away with that ridiculouslessness of fighter people over and over until you are braindead. You climb the rank's starting from 50. The graphics are the thing that did it for me. Everyone looks real and the crowd is much better looking, who actual interact with what's going on in the ring not just cheering to cheer. One punch KO's are back and are simply awesome. My only gripe is that there is no button mashing anymore. I have a PS3 and you can't just hit the button's to throw punches. Now you must use the total punch control whereas before you had a choice. No I have to retrain myself to use the total punch control.

Time does fly with this game I started at about 4:00 P.M. and ended at 9:00 I have 8 fight's with 8 Ko's ( hold the applause please ). I would easily give this a 10 out of 10.
