Featuring a brand new physics engine and a roster of more than 40 of history's greatest boxers,
EA's critically lauded
boxing series ends its three-year hiatus with one more run at the title in
Fight Night: Round 4. The new physics engine was designed to simulate the full range of potential punches, defense, and ring movement, and distinctive styles have been created to reflect boxers' real-life height, reach, footwork, and skills as a brawler, counter-puncher, or inside fighter. The roster of fighters combines a mix of all-time greats, including
Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones Jr.,
Thomas Hearns, and
Mike Tyson, with some of 2009's biggest fighters, such as Ricky Hatton,
Shane Mosely, and Manny Pacquiao. The new "Legacy" mode let gamers create a boxer, customize his fighting style, gear, and ring music, then punish fellow pugilists on the way to becoming an all-time legend. The mode includes the original eight weight classes, several potential titles in each class, the ability to unify belts and fight through several weights, end of the year awards, popularity, and pound-for-pound rankings. Gamers who tire of advancing their boxer's career can also choose to head online and square off against friends from all over the world.
