Fight night round 3 was my favorite game it had the best soundtrack and gameplay was fun my opinion idk why you stopped playing when round 3 came out lol
After playing 3 more after the ranking vid, I enjoy it more. It's just the lack of speed in the game. The technicality of the punches outclasses most of the series. If there was speed settings like in 4 and champion, I'd put it higher. What do you think of Round 2 and Champion?
round 3 is my personal fav even after going back. I like the tactician approach it has. You can get aggressive tho in career mode early on and really bully the AI even on hard.
@@makmakg242 I have it on PSP and it does tell if u land punches, even more, it counts if it was one or more punches that you landed, it's not like 2 that the guy stay standing like 1 minute 30 seconds
Best part of those early Fight Night games was teeing off on your opponent once you knock them out. I loved knocking them out against the ropes and hitting them with a 6-piece on the way down lol. Great video.
That's why Fight Night RD 2 is my favorite in the series. I disagree with him on the haymaker emphasis; ive beaten plenty of opp 50/50 mix of regular punches and haymakers. There is a strategy to it....

I love your take on Fight Night Round 3 being underrated. That's my favorite out of the whole series. Fight Night Round 2 is my second favorite. Great venues, great roster, etc. Champion comes in at #3 for me, and I didn't really care for Round 4 or the original Fight Night. All versions should have Tyson and Lennox Lewis, though.
Fight night rd 3 was my favourite...the punch ststem by far the best. And really felt like you could bring your own tactics to a fight rather being forced to play a certain way
Round 3 had this too on psp I believe. And I tried champion but I hate that they removed directional blocking (parrying). It's so stale and feels sluggish compared to the ps2 titles. I have yet to try round 4
@@krisadathamavit4440 round 3 was very slow and no boxer gets gassed from a parry then gets hit three times. That’s why in round 4 they took away that cheesy parrying
FNRD3 defence/counter/parry system is the BEST there is. It is what sets someone with TRUE SKILLS from button mashing bums. It requires supreme hand coordination/timing/speed of execution/and strategic mental awareness to master. Scrub players dont have the ability to hang. That's why bums always be crying about rd3 parry system when they get KO they hate
Round 3 was a boxing fans boxing game. Best graphics. Best simulation. Best combat. The perry system was to this day, the best. The slower pace is what makes the game so much fun, tactically.
I'm 51 now and went to the city of Hickory N.C. a month ago to get me some more games for my ole trusty ps2. Got my splinter cell games and dang if they didn't have but one Fight Night 2004 in , that I grabbed with cat like reflexes and yeah it's just the bees knees freind.....WOOOOW !!!!!! THE 😄🤣👌
From someone who's just played R2,R3 and Champions it's a big mix between those three for just 1st place. On one hand I absolutely love Champions face-scan so I can add some weirder fighters, but I like R3/2's sliders for custom boxers too, actually giving me the ability to create some freakshows. Although I don't like how the 360 version of Round 3 changed trunks and hair which were good on the Original Xbox version, some trunks I prefered the look of on last gen. I found Round 3 has nice pacing, from experience with R2 heavyweights feel fine, but featherweights feel so quick I almost think I'm watching the game on triple speed when they walk. While Champions also has the pacing down fine. I kinda like the simplified controls on Champions since I'm just frankly terrible at the 6 direction blocking/countering in R2/R3. And Round 3 has got to be the winner in the presentation department, I just love how boxers change poses when selected instead of being static images on Champion. And especially the matchup loading screen showing the two with their names in their fight ready pose
Dude this was a great video and you were super well versed at the mechanics of each game. And your voice isn’t boring to death like some people have sometimes. Your channel has so much potential, keep at it👍🏽👍🏽

It kind of pained me at first to see round 3 at the bottom, but I’m glad that you said that it’s underrated. Obviously I’ve said it’s my favorite fight night game, and that I love enough to own the ps2 and ps3 versions, that’s how hardcore I am about fight night round 3.I have found that those who didn’t like it at first tend to appreciate it more every time they play it whether it be the 360/ps3 version or original Xbox/ps2 version. One thing I love about the fight night games is that everyone seems to have a different ranking. A good buddy of mine thinks round 2 is the best, my brother thinks round 4 is the best, and obviously I love round 3, but I just love that everyone has a different favorite and every reason I hear is a valid reason for it being their favorites.

Exactly. The fact that everyone has a different favorite fight night game, means that there isn’t a single fight night game that’s bad. That says a lot. I appreciate all the variety spread through the fight night series
Most people complained about the haymakers in round 2 which is why in round 3 they slowed it down so drastically. I have all of them round 3 had the most users online and around the world. Round 4 was one of the best ones.

Try fight night round 3 psp version, i know its not really good at graphic, but the animation is absolutely won to all that game on the video, AFTER fight night 2004
Dope video , to me round 4’s campaign may not be as flashy as Champion but it has more value and replayability. You can beat Champion in one night but have to grind your boxer for like 2-3 weeks on round 4 just to be a decent fighter
imagine how amazingly fun a remastered version of FN2004 would be kinda like how how they did with the first 2 original tony hawks pro skater just think how satisfyingly fun it would be to have original fn2004 but with graphics of today's consoles
I’m a huge boxing and boxing game fan and I totally agree with the top two picks. They should just bring back 2004 and fn 4 put it back online again. Almost seems like a conspiracy theory that in 2022, we still don’t have a new boxing game! Just give us back the ones you already made dang it! Their both very solid and accomplished boxing games that like you said stand the test of time.
Fight Night Around 3 in psp was the best especially when you just want to beat up lightweight boxers with Ali. I spam the haymaker and enjoy seeing the busted face of my opponent.
Overhand and Undisputed discords brought me here. Definitely agree, 2004 is probably the best boxing game made to this day and that’s odd considering the power we have in more recent console generations. It had the savagery, speed, and impact on the punches that developers these days can’t seem to emulate
Great review I found a fight night at a thrift store but I didn’t pick it up and I had taken a photo of it for my instagram and some people 2 weeks later msg me saying fight night games are fun lol so I came here to check it out. It looks like fun especially if the games are very cheap and they still are but I think I prefer Rocky games since I didn’t grow up watching boxing games but if I found it for a buck or 2 I would probably pick it up. Thanks for the review great video and I subscribed. I have a channel too if you like :) have a great week :)
I've played 2004 and Round 2. Haymakers in Round 2 are overpowered as hell to the point that A.I might abuse it and you couldn't move and block at the same time in 2004. They're both fun in their own ways.
#1 Fight Night Round 2 (9.4) #2 Fight Night Champion (7.7) #3 Fight Night Round 4 (7.6) #4 Fight Night 2004 (8.1) #5 Fight Night Round 3 PS2 version (7.5)
I enjoy playing Champion, but after playing them all back to back, it feels similar to the UFC games. It feels off somehow. Like in order to reset your lean, you have to drop your guard, how blocking is a spamfest, and the stamina management is watered down to a peekaboo tactic. There isn't pressure to dodge or evade, just hold block. I'd say to go back and play them all back to back to get a refresher
@@IVSAKENSOUL Champion motions felt very fluent to me. The punching mechanics felt realistic. ‘04 was the best all around game but it felt acadish. Round 3 did the best simulating boxing. Knockout Kings 2000 is my first boxing game lol. Round 2 was trash but I would still put it over round 4
@@treydub round 4 is a lot better then round 2 but round 2 had better cutman and showed punch stats between rounds. Round 2 had too many cheesy haymakers everyone complained about it and they slowed it down drastically in round 3 until round 4 they completely took out the haymakers.
Tbh I’ve never played any fight night game which one would be the best to pick up?? Torn between round 4, 2004, or champion, help pls all the ones I’ve named look fuckin dope man
If you want to play online, get Champion. I'd recommend playing 4 and 2004, because the gameplay is more fun than Champion. Champion feels like an arcade game
@@IVSAKENSOUL Thankyou so much for that bro appreciate ur advice can’t believe I’ve slept on these games all my life always been a fifa kind of guy and COD 🤣Thankyou brother great video btw keep doin ur thing and behalf of ur subscribers we appreciate you gettin back to our comments not many do that so Thankyou 👍
Fight night champion has better graphics than round 4 but round 4 has a higher resolution so for me looks better, because it’s sharper and champion is only marginally better graphically. Champion gameplay felt more arcadey for me. Round 4 is my favourite. Especially because it’s 1080p on ps3. I still have it for my ps3. I’ll probably get back champion and round 3 to play on my 360 s now that I recently purchased another 360 and they ain’t likely to make anymore fight night games. Round 4 is my favourite boxing game then after that I’d say knock out kings 2001 on the PlayStation 2. It’s roster had pretty much everyone but Mike Tyson like most games back then no one could get the license for him until he brought out his own game, Mike Tyson heavy weight boxing by codemaster for the OG Xbox and ps2. What I liked about knock out kings 2001 as well was that they scanned the actual boxers bodies into the game and it is one of the few to include female boxing so the class range is greater than most.
For me Champion, Round 4, 04, Round 3 Champion to me has the best balance, as well as Round 4.. the customization for those was weaker sadly, along with the training modes, loved the implementation of cut man& round based performance to address what we wanted to take care of (stamina, health, block meter)
I wish the block meter stayed, Champion let's you cheese it, but they added some dynamics to it. You can tell some punches slide through the block as you progress. They need to remaster these games, or at least release a new one.
I only have an xbox 360, would you reccomend round 4 first then? I'd like to play with Marvellous Marvin Hagler? Fight night 2004 looks great. The ps2 era 2004 -2005 was amazing for sports games.
Personally I disliked TPC, so Round 4 was a bummer, and even then I love Round 3 too much. Anyone else love the Rocky PS2/Xbox game? It introduced me to boxing games and helped me move from Rocky to Fight Night.
In all my years of playing fight night 2004, several details I’ve never experienced. Like the names on the trunks, glitched hair , no eyebrows, no tattoos.. Never knew the fix for that but would’ve been nice
@@earlyculyer4103so I played Fight Night 2004 on original XBOX for years and basically in the character creation, everything I described is exactly what I experienced. Never learned how to fix it
FNR3 was my favorite. For some reason I just kicked ass in that game, so it was a lot of fun for me. When Round 4 came out, all my old methods stopped working and I was getting way less KO/TKOs and had more fights going to decision. Less fun for me. I did like Champion more than Round 4 though, but still think Round 3 felt the best. I had Fight Night Round 3 on PS2 and PS3 and honestly I felt like the PS2 version was better. Graphics weren't as good but movement felt a lot smoother. Think I ended up trading in my PS3 FNR3 because I only played the PS2 one. I'd wish for a new Fight Night but I feel like EA would just mess it up... I'd rather just get a nice HD remake of FNR3 lol
I instantly stopped watching this video because I came across something I disagree with. Round 4 objectively has the best and most fluid boxing. Much more accurate to boxing on tv than 2004 is.
That's fine. I do appreciate your honesty. It's only second best to 2004 because I am a fan of ragdoll physics, and the gameplay of 2004 is brutal. Round 4 is the most polished one imo, but I am a sucker for the KO's in 2004.
@@zachhall8043 nah he’s right I have all of the fight nights and round 4 is the smoothest boxing game with solid graphics and physics engine. The height and reach of the boxer play a major role as well.
Round 2 my fav I ain’t gone cap it feels realer than all the fight nights ion know what your talking bout it doesn’t seem like they hitting them round 2 is top tier and before it’s time in my opinion
Champion far from the best the developers stopped caring and ruined the game. The fighters get tired if they fight 3 minute rounds. Game only runs good on 2 minute rounds and in greatest of all time difficulty the computers stamina stays at 100. Cheesy.

Champion clearly looks better than round 4 that game is still beautiful
The likeness in Champion is unbelievable compared to round 4.
Round 4 didn’t have white faced on created black fighters. Round 4 was also more accurate since champion had forced misses.
From round 3 to round 4 was a few years in between and a new developer team pretty much round 4 was their first game which is why it looked cartoony.
Makes sense. I don't mind the style. It reminds me of Ready 2 Rumble in a way
I think they simply want to try a different artistic style.

It looks like fun especially if the games are very cheap and they still are but I think I prefer Rocky games since I didn’t grow up watching boxing games but if I found it for a buck or 2 I would probably pick it up. Thanks for the review great video and I subscribed. I have a channel too if you like :) have a great week :)
Fight Night 2004 my favorite fight night game .
I've played 2004 and Round 2. Haymakers in Round 2 are overpowered as hell to the point that A.I might abuse it and you couldn't move and block at the same time in 2004. They're both fun in their own ways.
ah the "early to the late 90s", my favorite part of the 90s
#1 Fight Night Round 2 (9.4)
#2 Fight Night Champion (7.7)
#3 Fight Night Round 4 (7.6)
#4 Fight Night 2004 (8.1)
#5 Fight Night Round 3 PS2 version (7.5)
I agree
FNR3 is the best by a country mile, brutal ko's
Thanks for doing such an enjoyable and useful review! Is the 1st Person view available in Round 4 and Champion?
Nah
I never played fight night, but I'm planning on buying one for my ps3 or 360. Which one should I get?
Ps3
2004, i played soooooo much of that game
1. Champion
2. ‘04
3. round 3
4. Knockout Kings 2000
5. Round 2
I enjoy playing Champion, but after playing them all back to back, it feels similar to the UFC games. It feels off somehow. Like in order to reset your lean, you have to drop your guard, how blocking is a spamfest, and the stamina management is watered down to a peekaboo tactic. There isn't pressure to dodge or evade, just hold block. I'd say to go back and play them all back to back to get a refresher
@@IVSAKENSOUL I didn’t mind the block, the longer you held it the weaker the block was so it wasn’t to hard to get through
@@IVSAKENSOUL Champion motions felt very fluent to me. The punching mechanics felt realistic. ‘04 was the best all around game but it felt acadish. Round 3 did the best simulating boxing. Knockout Kings 2000 is my first boxing game lol. Round 2 was trash but I would still put it over round 4
@@treydub round 4 is a lot better then round 2 but round 2 had better cutman and showed punch stats between rounds. Round 2 had too many cheesy haymakers everyone complained about it and they slowed it down drastically in round 3 until round 4 they completely took out the haymakers.
Tbh I’ve never played any fight night game which one would be the best to pick up?? Torn between round 4, 2004, or champion, help pls all the ones I’ve named look fuckin dope man
If you want to play online, get Champion. I'd recommend playing 4 and 2004, because the gameplay is more fun than Champion. Champion feels like an arcade game
@@IVSAKENSOUL Thankyou so much for that bro appreciate ur advice can’t believe I’ve slept on these games all my life always been a fifa kind of guy and COD 🤣Thankyou brother great video btw keep doin ur thing and behalf of ur subscribers we appreciate you gettin back to our comments not many do that so Thankyou 👍
@@kamikaze-xj9iv thanks! If you play on Xbox, 2004 is backwards compatible with 360. Also, Champion can be played on Series X and down
I only like Round 3.
Round 3 is beautiful, but I see why you like it. It stands out gameplay wise amongst them all
Round 2 looking good.
I was using the PCSX2 footage for this i believe.
I literally can't find any video of the mitts training in fn 2004🤣
Fight night champion had very poor fighter cuts and damage, the graphics were amazing but the blocking from the opponent would get annoying
The blocking is 🗑, but the graphics and accessibility make it better that it actually is
Fight night champion has better graphics than round 4 but round 4 has a higher resolution so for me looks better, because it’s sharper and champion is only marginally better graphically. Champion gameplay felt more arcadey for me. Round 4 is my favourite. Especially because it’s 1080p on ps3. I still have it for my ps3. I’ll probably get back champion and round 3 to play on my 360 s now that I recently purchased another 360 and they ain’t likely to make anymore fight night games. Round 4 is my favourite boxing game then after that I’d say knock out kings 2001 on the PlayStation 2. It’s roster had pretty much everyone but Mike Tyson like most games back then no one could get the license for him until he brought out his own game, Mike Tyson heavy weight boxing by codemaster for the OG Xbox and ps2. What I liked about knock out kings 2001 as well was that they scanned the actual boxers bodies into the game and it is one of the few to include female boxing so the class range is greater than most.
@14:55 I’m crying 😂😂😂 he was letting him have it
lol that's my favorite part of 2004
😆😅😂
damn 7 months ago this still pretty early ig
Round 3 is the best and does not look rubbery and cartoony like the others.
Does anyone know if you can play fight night 2004 on the Xbox 360?
2004 and round 3 are my favorites
Two amazing games! You getting ESBC??
If it ends up being good, I will for sure
Who tf is Robert Duran i only know Roberto Duran🤣 nice content btw
EA needs to make a new fight night for console and pc.
“Fight night round champion” 😂 hell yeah brother 🤘
For me Champion, Round 4, 04, Round 3
Champion to me has the best balance, as well as Round 4.. the customization for those was weaker sadly, along with the training modes, loved the implementation of cut man& round based performance to address what we wanted to take care of (stamina, health, block meter)
I wish the block meter stayed, Champion let's you cheese it, but they added some dynamics to it. You can tell some punches slide through the block as you progress. They need to remaster these games, or at least release a new one.
@@IVSAKENSOUL champion is cheesy with the blocking that is facts.
You forgot Round 2
But to be fair Round 2 has mayweather in it so you have an excuse
I only have an xbox 360, would you reccomend round 4 first then?
I'd like to play with Marvellous Marvin Hagler?
Fight night 2004 looks great. The ps2 era 2004 -2005 was amazing for sports games.
Round 4 is a MUST play
@@IVSAKENSOUL yeah? It's interesting how everyone seems to have a different fave ha. I like the look of 3 and 2004.
Round 4 looks good too!
Yes get round 4 it’s the best one.
Round 3 has the best graphics though
Champion should have been No 1
Have you played the other Fight Nights?
False not even top 3
Definitiv FNC
@@IVSAKENSOUL havent
Personally I disliked TPC, so Round 4 was a bummer, and even then I love Round 3 too much. Anyone else love the Rocky PS2/Xbox game? It introduced me to boxing games and helped me move from Rocky to Fight Night.
Round 3 best boxing game ever. Best game play. Please bring this game back with better roster better graphics same amazing game play. Hello 👋
I respect you for putting 2004. We need a remastered 2004 for 2024
lmao yeah this guys not a real boxing fan he tried and posed like one for a while till he said Robert duran and didnt know who the Klitchkos were
🤣🤣🤣
1.Round 2
2.Round 3
3.Round 4
4.Champion
5.2004
Sadly never played 2004 but did play Knockout Kings prior.
Mine would go
1 Round 3
2 Round 4
3 Champion
4 Round 2
In all my years of playing fight night 2004, several details I’ve never experienced. Like the names on the trunks, glitched hair , no eyebrows, no tattoos.. Never knew the fix for that but would’ve been nice
What are you talking about? Think I missed that part sounds interesting can you explain more?
@@earlyculyer4103so I played Fight Night 2004 on original XBOX for years and basically in the character creation, everything I described is exactly what I experienced. Never learned how to fix it
Champion wins for me because the blocking makes u better. Makes u set up yo power punches to get past blocks.
Fight night champion & fight night 2004 easily top 2
Champion looks next gen in some aspects, and 2004 has timeless controls. Two great games
Fight night round 3 had the best engine
It did have a unique atmosphere, and on PS3/360! Can only imagine if the older ones were brought to next gen
👍
Loved round 3 for the cuts and fixing the cuts
FNR3 was my favorite. For some reason I just kicked ass in that game, so it was a lot of fun for me. When Round 4 came out, all my old methods stopped working and I was getting way less KO/TKOs and had more fights going to decision. Less fun for me. I did like Champion more than Round 4 though, but still think Round 3 felt the best. I had Fight Night Round 3 on PS2 and PS3 and honestly I felt like the PS2 version was better. Graphics weren't as good but movement felt a lot smoother. Think I ended up trading in my PS3 FNR3 because I only played the PS2 one. I'd wish for a new Fight Night but I feel like EA would just mess it up... I'd rather just get a nice HD remake of FNR3 lol
I instantly stopped watching this video because I came across something I disagree with. Round 4 objectively has the best and most fluid boxing. Much more accurate to boxing on tv than 2004 is.
That's fine. I do appreciate your honesty. It's only second best to 2004 because I am a fan of ragdoll physics, and the gameplay of 2004 is brutal. Round 4 is the most polished one imo, but I am a sucker for the KO's in 2004.
I instantly stopped reading this comment because I came across something I disagree with
@@zachhall8043 😂 with the quickness
@@zachhall8043 nah he’s right I have all of the fight nights and round 4 is the smoothest boxing game with solid graphics and physics engine. The height and reach of the boxer play a major role as well.
Fight night round 3 was the best and last best boxing game
I'm with you on that one Champ 🥊🥊🔥🔥
FNC
Round 2 my fav I ain’t gone cap it feels realer than all the fight nights ion know what your talking bout it doesn’t seem like they hitting them round 2 is top tier and before it’s time in my opinion
Bruh this was my lineup and to this day 2004 is the best they had everything right the first time speed and power with the combos
Career mode is the most important aspect for me. So far, nothing comes close to Fight Night Round 3 on PSP...You can have 3 fights in the same month
Round 2 all day
Round 2 does have the best haymakers tho 👊🏼💥
That was my favorite I miss healing them in the corner
They need to bring it back
@@Punisher5791 the corner was the best in round 2 felt like hbo boxing corner they showed punch stats between rounds
Champion is the best. Still slaps on Series X. Champion mode was entertaining but Isaac Frost was so nasty
Champion far from the best the developers stopped caring and ruined the game. The fighters get tired if they fight 3 minute rounds. Game only runs good on 2 minute rounds and in greatest of all time difficulty the computers stamina stays at 100. Cheesy.
Sure the best is Champion.
Why don't they make them anymore?
Fight round 3 on the PSP was the best for me.
I just copped that for my psp too
Sama aja gameplaynya sama round 2 di ps2 itu round 3 yg psp.. Bagusan round 3 ps2 bro, beda bgt sama round 3 psp
