I played the demo and enjoyed it for what little it provided...a sneak peak. The graphics were good, as with the controls. The gameplay was a bit over the top (not much fatigue/stick mashing) but with sliders in the retail version I can't call the game a button (stick) masher yet. Based off the demo, I will be purchasing the game and tweaking it down to a more sim type experience with silders, hud off, etc...I had fun with the demo, and that's all I wanted to find out...the fun factor is there...demos have to appeal to the masses...marketing 101.

The presentation was generally engrossing minus a few odd things that would seem pretty basic:
1. There is no tale of the tape. It would be nice to have your progressive/current record, wins by ko, "boxing out of whatever city and state" ,etc...announced at the beginning of each fight (maybe in career mode??..doubt it, but hopeful)
2. There is no excitement/anticipation when its time to go to the score cards for the decision. It just goes to the fighter's reaction. Boxing is my favorite sport to watch on TV. At the end of a good fight there is no feeling like waiting for the judges scorecards to see how they scored the fight BEFORE knowing who actually won..hard to explain, but I hope it makes sense.

All in all, great sneak peak at the game via the demo.

It's 3 rounds and on easy level so I think you're jumping the gun a bit.

Game looks sick...cant wait to get my hands on this...only thing is not Holyfield??

The controls seem to lag and sometimes the punches I throw either don't register or are thrown long after I input the command, especially on power punches.

I can't throw head hooks to save my life. Body hooks are cake, but very annoying when I'm clearly trying to throw something else.

Either Ricky Hatton sucks in this game or I can only play the game when my fighter is on the right side of the screen.

Throwing low blows and headbutts are fun. I always try and throw one or two at the end of rounds to impose my will.

How do you do that little thing where you bob and weave while you come forward? I've tried it several times in tutorial but I cant get it.
