Fight Night Round 2

The Fight Night Round 2 continues the boxing series and develops the idea of ​​controlling punches through stick movements. Compared to the first part, the game has become less forgiving: a missed blow noticeably affects the boxer’s condition, and by the later rounds fatigue takes its toll. Victory here goes to those who know how to keep their distance. A separate innovation is work in the corner: between rounds, the corner doctor treats cuts and stops the bleeding, which directly affects whether the fight continues or not. The player has to monitor the condition of his ward and make timely decisions, and not just fight. A career allows you to take the created fighter from the first fights to the title: training camps, selection of opponents and gradual strengthening of skills. The roster includes famous boxers from different years, which adds recognition to the fights, and the presentation looks like a television broadcast. It is also worth noting that the game has a training mode and the ability to play quick battles without a career. The angle of the ring, cuts and fatigue affect the course of the match no less than technique. For a boxing simulator, such detail was a noticeable step. For its time, the game was considered one of the best in the genre, and this is still felt: blows have weight, and victory over a strong opponent requires understanding his habits. For boxing fans, this is a quality option for long evenings.
