  1. It's going to take some time to learn the ropes but there's a deep game with lots of replay value waiting for you when you become one with the control system.
  2. Play Fight Night on the PSP and enjoy it, but know that the heavyweight PS2 version is the true champ. [Apr 2006, p.78]
  3. You'll be amazed by the visuals and satisfied by how well its been converted. [Apr 2006, p.80]
  4. An adequate port of an outstanding console game.

    Compared to its consle counterparts, the boxing is smooth. This is one of the best games for PSP to date. Create a boxer and get ready for some serious play time. Collapse

    This game is one of the best PSP games on the market. Awesome graphics, great interface! From your trainer yelling to your cutman helping you do battle the next round from your own honey of an entoruage who helps recover from knockdowns this game is very detailed. Only drawback is when fight ends in a TKO the game freezes and then a wide shot of the ref stepping in is not very smooth and my hands are sore from playing the game so much. Expand
