   This is a great game. It was a bold step to do away with the buttons but the joystick control system, though fiddly to start with, soon This is a great game. It was a bold step to do away with the buttons but the joystick control system, though fiddly to start with, soon becomes easy to use IMO. Now when you play online and meet body spammers or the old haymaker junkies, they are easy to beat. Just stay cool, block, lean and counter punch and then when their stamina is all but gone you can open up and destroy them. When you get to play someone who knows about boxing the fights to be had are awesome.… Expand

   Joe.c & Luke.h you are both retarded and should go away and play button basher games for clueless players. FNR4 is a big step up from FNR3 in Joe.c & Luke.h you are both retarded and should go away and play button basher games for clueless players. FNR4 is a big step up from FNR3 in every way, face buttons have gone so you now have to learn the game properly as well as understand that boxing isn't about throwing punch punch punch, there's more of a art for and tactics to it, learn the game and you will enjoy it, don't bother and you will underestimate it. If there is a flaw then its online players who pull out of games just as there about to be out for the count, apart from those idiots the online play is lag free. Yes there could have been more done to the game but EA have done a good enough job to warren t people to buy this game. best boxing game ever unless your a button basher, one other thing is you will find unrealistic is the amount of punches you can throw compared to real life, but hay if it went any more realistic it would become a bore.… Expand

   Career mode is lacking immersion, but it will keep you entertained. Because its all punch control through the analogue sticks your accuracy Career mode is lacking immersion, but it will keep you entertained. Because its all punch control through the analogue sticks your accuracy of what punch to throw is pretty random so the training games become impossible to master, consequently you end up autotraining too much to actually be a superstar. If they could add more character to the career it would score higher but as it stands its actually quite boring. The graphics are pretty good though, however blood and cuts are almost non existent. If they could import THQ's UFC damage visuals, it would be tons better in that respect. Ring entry visuals are a big letdown, and something you will skip through after the first look. Soundtracks are good though as with previous versions. Its just a shame their is really no storyline to your career, i think thats the biggest negative that plagues this game. Having said all that, if you enjoyed FN3, still get FN4 because regardless of its let downs its still a decent game in its own right.… Expand

   I was pretty excited to get this game and have been playing it religiously in my spare time. I have to admit that most of that play time is I was pretty excited to get this game and have been playing it religiously in my spare time. I have to admit that most of that play time is due to the fact that I want to justify my purchase, as I quickly found out that the play control is abysmal. Quite often I try to block or dodge but my boxer throws a punch instead leaving me open for a counter-punch. This is frustrating to the point where I almost broke one of my controllers, smashing it on the ground when I had a 12(9)-0 and I lost because the controls were too laggy and inacurate for me to beat the next rank of CPU opponent which had punches much more accurate and quick than I could do even when I was spamming jabs. This game could have been so much more had there been an option for button based punches like "round 3". For some reason I thought there would be one. Had I known this wasn't possible I never would have picked up the game. This is potential flushed down the toilet. I'll still try to beat the game, but in small doses. I have to control my anger by playing no more than 2 matches per session.… Expand

It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The amazing combat system that you came to love is simply non-existent. It's basically a dumbed down version of the game that tries to appeal to a more general crowd all while being a blatant insult to the real fans. This is the game that killed FN for me. Thank you EA sports for ruining one of my favourite games. :)… Expand

   Perfect graphics mean nothing when followed by some of the worst gameplay I have ever seen. Total Punch Control seems cool at first but is a Perfect graphics mean nothing when followed by some of the worst gameplay I have ever seen. Total Punch Control seems cool at first but is a joke. You'll throw a hook instead of an uppercut, a body punch instead of a head punch and a lot of times, you'll throw nothing at all. Fight Night Round 4 improves on some of the issues from FNR3 ( like making haymakers easier, bobbing and weaving and 'auto-aim' for people who like to like to stay in a leaned position ) but then throws out even worse new problems, like having no work-around to TPC, allowing people to punch spam with no penalty to their stamina and parrying punches is MUCH harder.… Expand
