Fight Night Round 4™/ Text / Akwasi Tawia Poku / Three years have passed since the release of the last Fight Night and, while people have been blistermaking and button-bashing around the globe, the guys and girls at EA Sports have managed to come up with a sequel: Fight Night Round 4. Being a fan of the Fight Night franchise, this game was highly anticipated. To my surprise a few things have changed, and my main gripe has to be the controls. EA have revamped these so to execute a haymaker (hard punch) you have to hold R2, which is a little annoying. They have also removed the ringside section to get your fighter back into shape and replaced this with a less engaging, and easier, points based system. On the over hand the game is now a lot faster and action packed. Counter Blows are one of my favourite new features. This allows you to time your blocks and dodges to perfection so that you can shock your opponent – Tyson style! The legacy mode has also been revamped in the way you customise your character. If you want to create a fighter modeled on yourself you can now upload a photo or, if you have an eye toy or Playstation camera, you can now utilise this feature, which takes the realism up a notch. The level of customisation has also been improved with many apparel manufacturers signing up to the game including Nike and Adidas. Overall, a few things have been changed but the game still draws me into the boxing atmosphere and has still retained the title as the ultimate fighting simulator, whether you want to fight as a featherweight, middleweight, heavyweight or a bantamweight. This game for sure is still one of the great games to play with the lads or the mandem		Issue Four August 2009 Tinchy Stryder Interview Davinche Interview Rose In The Concrete Fashion Kid British Interview Introducing Maluca Comedian Indy Selvarajah Chantelle Clarke Medford Theo Adams Too Much Too Young Debate The Cost Of Plastic Surgery Living with Cystic Fibrosis Shamz In NYC Yolanda Brown Secret To Skank Alternative Fashion Week Devoted T-Shirts Rare Michael Jackson Moments Lawrence Watson Challenging Homophobia Alternative Musicians Rounders 50/50 Horseriding Melo X Interview Zarif Interview Brazen Interview Poppy Interview Displacement Issue Three Feb 2009 Giggs Interview Global Kingdom : What Is Britishness Back To The Old School Fashion Sarah Maple Exclusive Young Comedians Kyza Interview Charlie Crocket Feature Chip Music Feature Lips To The Mic : Female Artists The Chrsiping Debate Rodney Hinds Careers Interview De Tropix Interview Grey Hound Racing Feature Slanguage Feature Real Life Gambling Crazy Cousinz Interview Hard Knock Wife Review Secret Style Histories Riz MC Cover Artist Feature Dels Cover Artist Feature Sofi Donut's Artist Feature Sara-Sham Savari Benoit Pioulard Emily Cummins Interview This Real Life : Smacking Damien O'Brien Interview Issue Two Aug 2008 Reggie Yates Interview Road To 2012 : Olympics Special Road To Carnival Fashion Freedom At A Price Red Hot Interview Nash Money Sneakers Micachu Interview Natty Interview Life In The Marine Corps Parents Meet The Teenagers Young Londoners Meet The Cast Of Adulthood Cyko Logic Interview Fred Butler : Prop Stylist Interview Immortal Technique Review Made In Queens Victor Timofeev : Artist Interview Ricky Powell Interview Twizzle Interview Flywear Feature Top Girl Film Feature Queen Of Nations Not Without My Sister Sky's The Limit Career's Advice Issue One March 2008 Bashy Interview The Cool Kids Lady Lykes Grimes New School Rowdy Superstar Interview The Sound Of Reason Slash Interview Hoxton Vs Hampstead Fashion Young Designers Lucinda Chua Interview Will Kay Interview The Brothers Size Chris Lambert Duane Henry Drug Trafficking Feature Does My Bum Look Big in This Life After Prison Whats Upsetting Our Children MP Julia Goldsworthy Autechre Live In London Hardcore Is More Than Music Media Box Paddington Development Trust The Cut Ica Blog The Cut On Myspace
