    FN4 a little disappointing...just a little

    Only because the punches don't feel like they're doing much damage with "The better physics engine". It also feels like there are still only 4 or 5 spots to hit your opponent at.

    Distance doesn't feel like it matters all that much (yes it matters but not that much) but then again that's just me and I'm still feeling the game out.

    FN4 is definitely much better and more realistic than FN3 though.

    I like the way our fighters actually move their hands to block punches from different angles...it looks awesome and it stays true to real boxing.

    I feel a little pissed off at head movement in the game so far though...it just feels like my boxer isn't moving his head far enough (not as much as in FN3). It's harder to duck punches now, but it could be there to balance the game out.

    The new countering system is AWESOME. It's a big improvement from FN3 where you'd stun your opponent for 3 seconds if you parry correctly (ugh that was terrible).


    I give the game an 8 or 8.5 out of 10 so far. It is a little dissapointing because I thought it would feel like a game that would rate a 9 or 9.5 rather than an 8 or 8.5.

    idk, land a counter or the perfect timed shot with mike tyson and that **** feels powerful! Cuz often times it will score a flash knockdown or hurt your opponent badly.

    As far as head movement, are you saying with your guy or with everyone? because I've noticed a huge difference in head movement based on the fighter and their stats.

    My main area of improvement would be foot speed. Needs to be like 35% faster.

      Good review. Fair review.

      These people ripping the game apart are way off base. The game has flaws, but the key thing is that it's a big improvement and a step in the right direction. I give it a 9 out of 10.

          You probably just think it feels a little mindless.

          Try moving the difficulty up.

          The roster isn't as full as I thought it would be

          I think the roster is only fair. The good news is that we'll be able to download other fighters off the net.

              Something about the graphics don't like right. I reckon FN3's were better.

              The boxers have slightly bigger than normal bodies;
