   This game is way better than the reviews. I prefer it to Fight Night. Much more realistic boxing and interesting career mode. Could it be better? Yes, but if this a good foundation to build on. Other good games of late: GRID, NBA2K8 (steal at current price. change game speed to 31), NHL2K8 (sim mode).… Expand

   When Don King Presents: Prizefighter was first announced I was pretty excited, especially when the announcement came around the time the Fight Night series was presumed M.I.A.! I feel Don King Presents: Prizefighter is a very underrated game, which is a shame since it is a really solid game.
   
   The graphics in the game a really top notch, although not as good as Fight Night Round 3 the graphics are really clean which is a nice touch. The game also runs at a solid frame rate which makes it even better. I did notice some bugs though, mainly sync issues, if you skip a scene when a round is over and the announcer is still talking the audio does not skip but the scene forwards to your character in his corner. And their are some lip sync issues as well.
   
   The Audio is top notch, your gonna hear every swoosh coming from your boxers gloves, every word spewing from your coach in his corner, etc. The game also goes has far as having a track list of about 70 or so songs, their not bad songs either, there good songs that really help pump you up when your training or getting ready to fight. Their were the audio issues I talked about above but I think those are more engine issues then Audio issues so that will stay in the graphics section.
   
   The gameplay is pretty simply, the A, B, X, and Y buttons are used to pull of punches X and Y being the left side of your body while A and B are your right. The left thumbstick is used to move around the ring along with dashing, the right is used to move your boxer around like when he… Expand

   I have no idea why these guys are bagging this game. It's certainly no "worse" than Fight Night when it comes to the fight mechanics. In fact, it's a lot alike. You're not going to be able to go an entire fight without getting punched ONCE like you can Fight Night. You have to work tactically. Sure, it's not perfect, but adding the story, (disjointed though it is), and other bells and whistles takes a large step in the right direction in filling in the blanks that the Fight Night series has always had.
   
   One of the reviewers states there are better boxing sims out there. Umm, Really? Like WHAT? Fight Night Round 3? Great game. It's only YEARS old. I mean, come on, if you like boxing games, you won't be disappointed. Just don't get frustrated, because even though the controls are similar, the fighting mechanics are a little different.
   
   There are some annoying things about the game that occur in career mode as far as not being able to pick your fighter's nickname. You're the Kid. Deal with it. Little things like that. And the story is kind of confusing, but who cares? It's a boxing game, not Gone With the Wind. And Lampley's commentary is repetitive and quickly gets annoying. But picking your opponent apart with jabs, and then lighting him up with a quick perfectly timed punch never gets old.
   
   It's not a masterpiece of innovation, but it's fun. I play games that are fun. Call me Captain Obvious. The reviewers above are elitist dweebs.
   
   I do loathe and despise Don King, but he's not as prevalent in the game as I feared he would be.… Expand

   Honestly, I was kind of expecting more from this game, by the way it looks, I thought it looked alright, but when it went down to gameplay, I just couldn't stand it. By the way the tutorial was telling me to play, I was doing everything it asked, and it just didn't match up, with broken controls, and broken gameplay, this game won't make up for any of your time.… Expand
