 HORRIBLE July 20, 2008
don't waste your time, this game is beyond terrible, the worst boxing game that i have ever played, the controls only allow you to throw one swooping puncg at a time and when you are on the verge of a knockout theree is no difference between being at full health and about to go out, also when you get hit your boxer stumbles all over like every punch thrown is a super one. Overall game is stupid, graphic are ok, wait for fight nite round 4... or continue with round 3...
 Bad gameplay KO's Prizefighter June 23, 2008

Don King Presents Prizefighter is 2K's venture into the boxing genre. While they do several things right (a pretty cool story mode, nice roster of fighters, solid venues), the in-ring gameplay is what eventually kills this product right away.
The most obvious glitch is the collision detection. Sometimes punches completely miss yet cause damage, sometimes your arm goes through the other fighter, at times your elbow will hit them in the mouth instead of your fist, etc. It's just not very much fun. Button responsiveness is also a problem as it can take several seconds between pressing a button and seeing your punch thrown. It takes you right out of the game.
The stamina meter, which is a good idea and implemented well in Fight Night Round 3, evaporates in an extraordinary amount of time. After 3 or 4 punches, you'll find yourself slowly hobbling around the ring trying to re-gain stamina so you can throw another punch. If you attempt to throw a punch while your stamina is out, it'll feel like you're throwing it under water.
The sad part is, if the in-ring stuff was good, this would be a top contender in the genre. The story mode is unique and quite fun, the roster is well done with various fighters not seen in a boxing game yet, and the create-a-boxer is one of the most detailed I've ever seen.
Yet because the game itself isn't much fun, I can't recommend this for fight fans. Wait for Fight Night Round 4.
 Button mashers need not apply - this is the sweet science June 22, 2008

Some will be disappointed by the playability of this game if they don't understand boxing, in-part because it is equal parts simulation and arcade game. Jabs, hooks, uppercuts, straight punches, step in versions of each, step around versions of each, etc. This is a worthy first generation competitor for Fight Night by EA.
