Summary

Fight Night Champion is a boxing video game developed by EA Canada and published by EA Sports. It is the fifth entry in the Fight Night series and was released on March 1, 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game takes a drastic turn from its predecessors, depicting a "grittier", "darker" setting with animations and player damage that "truly conveys the brutality of the sport of boxing."

I quite enjoyed the story for this game. I mean it isn't exactly Rocky quality but there were plenty of moments that hyped me up and made me want to go to the gym. The soundtrack is awesome and it always kicks in during the most intense moments, and the scenarios the game puts you in are really fun, like the prison fights, or the match where you break your right hand and you need to win with your left, or the bulls*** final boss that made me really mad.

Fighting is fun most of the time but sometimes your character doesn't do what you want him to. This becomes especially irritating when you are trying to pull off quick combos, or if you are button mashing (which I do a lot) because every missed punch lowers your stamina and can really mess you over later in the fight. I also found the commentators to be quite repetitive and annoying at times. I mean they would consistently spout nonsense like "it looks like he's slowing down" even though I literally haven't stopped punching at lightning speeds for the entire fight. 

Even so, the story mode is really fun and had a lot of effort put into it. If only EA tried half as hard with the story modes for their UFC games as well 😓

It was a good experience overall. I played through Champion mode on amateur difficulty, and it was enjoyable until I faced Frost. The battle was so challenging it felt like I was playing on extreme mode. I almost broke my controller out of frustration, but after taking a deep breath and staying patient, I eventually won and completed the game.

I got halfway through the story before hitting a wall. A decent boxing game, I plan on beating it one day.
