many changes in round 2

EA sports has changed many things with their boxing franchise. And all for the better. To start with the game uses the right analog stick to control power punches called "haymakers" punches. How could a boxing game be without this. It gives you 20 or so boxers to choose from. Leonard and many other stars are here. You can also create your own star as well. The fighter creation mode is well done with many options for your own fighter's looks. The game suffers from a shortage of arenas though. There only a few. The gameplay is well done. You get jabs, uppercuts, straight punches and they all look realistic when they are thrown. The game does have its sour spots though. The biggest weakness is the lack of a good career mode. Don't sports games learn anything from the Madden series. There is no stat tracking except from wins/losses. That is senseless. Stat tracking should be a given in all sports games. Also you don't get much of a choice in your opponents. Finally when you win the title it doesn't feel like it is given enough worth. No big cut scene with the belt and celebrations.

Overall Fight Night Round 2 is a good boxing game that could be improved.

classic 2D fighter back

open world spiderman

This game give players the feel of swinging around like spidey that leaves one in awe. Scale up tall buildings and jump straight off and then shot your web and fling yourself to another building. The feeling is great. Too bad that is only really great part of the game. Its graphics are good. As is the sound. The control is well made. You shoot web to catch foes or you can shoot another to pull yourself to surfaces. Then the bad part. The game offers the same criminals to catch again and again. You do this to build points to move the story along to the boss. The fighting mechanics are weak as well. You punch your way through most foes.

This game has an amazing 3D open world that it failed match with gameplay or worthy activities.

Xbox icon returns with greatness

Halo 1 established the xbox as a console capable of greatness. Now Bungie brings about the sequal, Halo 2. The same great controls are carried over from Halo. This time 2 guns can be use at once. This a great addition, more firepower. The battle is brought to earth this time. Going into buildings brings a new level of realism to the game. The aliens look great. The single player mode is very short but the multiplayer mode is deep as ever. The ending with a promise of master chief going after the aliens was infair though. Why could not the game continue for more levels with those battles.

This second effort brings all the high quality of Halo and improves them a bit. Great game.

A flawed gem
