the Champion mode actually do a really good job of outline the strength and weakness of this game . strength : 1 . lot of time spend on graphic make this a beautiful look game . 2 . more emphasis place on footwork and head movement 3 . movie during the Champion mode give the game lot of action 4 . unique boxing style with more work put into make each boxer look like himself Weaknesses : 1 . inconsistent Range , there be lot of jab and numerous punch that just simply ... well ... disappear with no explanation , they be not block or dodge but do not land ... in the replay it show you fist actually punch the opponent with no reaction . to add insult to injury there be a counter opportunity create from these unfortunate moment . I guess this might just be a case of the graphic be so good that they actually catch major flaw in the game . 2 . the Champion mode be a little bit too script . at some point you might as well have rau and Ken perform Shouryuken punch . if you be a boxing purist like myself who be not so much into old fashion rock em sock em they you might find the contender type music and script gameplay over the top . 3 . over exaggerated reaction to power punch . if you think Ring King be the greatestest technical boxing game ever because a uppercut could literally send opponent through the rafter then you will love the way fighter reel and rock after body shot as if they have be shoot with M16 assault rifle -lrb- and then get back up ? -rrb- . its a little dramatic for I though on anything less than a K.O. Conclusion : imagine that while Madden on Frahchise mode you be tell , `` Kid you have to run the ball for the first half of the game to wear the Steelers down then you can pass '' and the GAME ITSELF , actually make sure that no pass be successful in the first half . imagine how cheesy that would be . well that be fight night Champions Career mode in a nut shell . I find it hard to give it a high rating simply because it almost intentionally diminish its strength with very avoidable weakness . I be actually stick with fight night Round 4 , where the game play be much more realistic . the vs mode be what save this from be 1 star in my opinion .
