Its been a while

Once again i must start my blog with a apology, it has now been 3 weeks since my last post with no real excuses. I've got to say i am loving the new look of the basement. Its not so much the style but the obvious progression. So lets get to 100 blogs and lets start attracting some more people!

As you can tell from my previous blogs i have dabbled with movie previews, i however am now going to throw my hat into the game ring. I have recently been let down by a game like never before and this has left me no choice but to rant. The game in question is 'Don King's Prize Fighter' produced by 2k sports, the same guys that did my much loved rocky legends. For everybody that knows me will know that two of my biggest loves are boxing and rocky. So its fair to say that i was a little bit excited by all the pre-hype mixed with the classic don king's promises of greatness. For ages i was pondering whether to just buy it or rent it first, until i downloaded the full demo. How relived i was when i finally played it and i realised i hadn't wasted a single penny on this shambolic attempt to dis-throne heavyweight boxing champ FN3 (Fight Nigh Round 3). Where do i begin on my attempts to break down for you the multiple flaws in the demo that i played, let alone what i have read as full game features? The first has got to be the control system, a basic button bashing system that takes away your feeling of control over the way you box. Victorious Boxer invented the analogue control system and FN3 perfected it, yet 2K sports believe that in this day and age where controlling more and more aspects of a games motion is the way forward, gamers will still desire a button bashing boxing game. That is just the tip of the ice burg that is 'Don King's Prize Fighter'. The next is the near invisible affects of punching. With no real power or feel of speed it is no surprise that there is no visible affects to you fighter. The graphics look pretty but lack in substance with the fighters seeming all most like a moving picture.

To Round all of this off i would give 'Don King's Prize Fighter' A VERY WIDE BIRTH. so if you find yourself in a game shop about to purchase this put it straight down and pick up FN3 instead, unless of course you like wasting your money.
