"I think shoud at leased get a 9 "

Do you have the final game?

AI that sucks so bad you can beat a top HW with a featherweight on Hard difficulty is ridiculous. Shouldn't all this processing power mean we get much better AI? There's only one guy they need to worry about, after all. I'm not sure I'm going to buy the game now; $60 for a game that really only has value in multiplayer might not be for me.

And no ranks? What POSSIBLE reason could there be for that? They couldn't have a guy take twenty minutes and make a screen with rankings on it?

I'm impressed with the screenshots...............as always.........

For whoever was asking if you can "tie up" your opponnent in the 360 version, yes you can.

Yea you can tie up in the 360 version Acert and the amont of waves you see on their face depends on where and how hard you actually hit them. There are times when the waves are less than what you see in that e3 footage and there are times where it is far more impressive.


All about the power of the punch and where you hit the fighter.

Well from what I've seen the 360's 3 symmetric fully featured processor cores may fare better on dynamically branching code like whats used for artificial intelligence even more so than the ps3's cell would be so by all means the 360 should be capable of some amazing ai. Then again its up to the developers what they want to do with it. We shouldn't judge the level of the AI until we play it ourselves I just think people are making definitive judgements on THEMSELVES not taking into consideration how everyone else will play this game or how good they'll be. There is only so much the computer ai can do in a boxing game.

You need to be playing against a much more random human being. Still this game either way is an absolute must get.

Btw acert when you say graphically this game isn't a 9 what do you mean by that? Does it deserve higher or lower in your opinion?

Thanks Prime :D I asked because the E3 stuff was really overly done, but having only seen 3 or 4 knockouts on the 360 I was curious how it compared and varied. The 360 footage looks better than the E3 footage, which makes sense with an extra 9 months of work on it.

As you guys can tell I am 360-less. FNR3 and GRAW are tempting me though, although you kind of need money for that ;) Money always dictates I get 1 new console, and right now I want to wait for a killer game I must have--hopefully by then the 360 will be a tad cheaper. PGR3 really is the game I keep swooning over :sigh: Not like the old days when I reviewed games and could have an excuse for having every console known to man!

But all of Blims great HD material keeps me happy.

Damn shocked thought you had a 360 :/

Well if you're ever interested I have a BRAND new premium xbox360 right here in my room full with warranty information the works never been opened. Comes with all the 360 accessories (yes all) also the bonus media remote, extra wireless controller, play and charge kit, rechargeable battery pack.

Also with 3 games pgr3, cod 2, and perfect dark zero. Kameo WAS on the list, but I was tempted to open it up. None of the other games have ever been opened. If you are wondering how i have this I originally made an order on ebgames for one, but decided on dec 18th i'd try my luck and camp out in front of a bestbuy and got my 360 so i then canceled by ebgames purchase and I also canceled the credit card I used to make this purchase since I lost it somewhere, but ebgames STILL accidentally sent me a fully loaded 360 with 3 games and its never been charged to my american express.

This entire package is worth $760+, but I'd let it go for $720 if you were interested.


Headset as well like I said it comes with everything :D

2006-02-18 09:34:37

If you move that decimal to $72.00 I would be interested ;)

Nice package, but mo-money is mo-money. One of my best friends wants me to get DoD:S for $20 and I cannot even get that! Well I could but it would not be financially responsible.

Anyhow I enjoy covering the games and hardware as much as playing them. I have a nice PC and so that keeps me pretty happy (esp. my KB/MS!) I like the 360 because it is a nice design, has some killer hardware, and MS has done a great job on their tools and getting support.

Now I have played the 360, just don't got one at home ;) And in between work and family (well, family, work, family) most of my free game time is spent here oogling over Blim's HOT 360 footage in HD 0_o

Some men have the sad habit of p-rn... my vice is next-gen gaming video :(

Hahaha that reminds me, the other day I was watching a G4TV thing on Gametrailers and the lady kept stepping in front of the video screen with FNR3. I kept bobbing my head trying to see around her... I know, I know, teens would rather watch the anorexic lady (who probably has never played a game in her life), but I am married to a pretty lady so get out of my way! I WANT TO SEE THE GAME!

Next Gen Graphics > Anorexic fake blond in skimpy clothes

me = complete nerd :D

But seriously, get out of the darned way so I can drool over the super EA punch.

Hehe yea I enjoy checking the new updates here as much as I enjoy playing the 360.

looks pretty nice. I see they have drastically improved the amount of people on screen in the spectators stands since the e3 'ps3 real-time demo' (yes that needs inverted commas).

But alas, Fighting games like this never tempt me. There just doesn't seem much that can be done with the genre to make it interesting.

why does it say out february 22 if all the stores have it listed as march? surely they would know by now?
i only ask because the last trailer said 23rd and i was told that was european(which i am) so does anyone know for sure?
