- Ranking the Fight Night series after playing all of them back to back of the last few weeks. Each game is unique in its own right, and this ranking doesn't seek to discredit these timeless classics. I recommend playing each for yourself to appreciate the beauty of the Fight Night series from its rebranding after the Knockout Kings series, to its eventual decade hiatus. Let me know how you rank the games.

![Is Fight Night 2004 The BEST Boxing Game EVER? [EA Sports Fight Night 2004 Review PS2/XboX]](/img/n.gif)
How do you rank the Fight Night Series?
Fight night round 3 was my favorite game it had the best soundtrack and gameplay was fun my opinion idk why you stopped playing when round 3 came out lol
@@jumpman2326 I played a shit ton of Halo back then lol
Round 3,round 2, 2004 the rest kinda trash champion is just ok
After playing 3 more after the ranking vid, I enjoy it more. It's just the lack of speed in the game. The technicality of the punches outclasses most of the series. If there was speed settings like in 4 and champion, I'd put it higher. What do you think of Round 2 and Champion?
@@IVSAKENSOUL that’s the point it was a technical game and you would have to think about where your gonna punch/where they are open
round 3 is my personal fav even after going back. I like the tactician approach it has. You can get aggressive tho in career mode early on and really bully the AI even on hard.
Todd DL parsec and we can go a few rounds 👀
bro FN3 knockouts are trash all they do is fall down . in FN2 you can continue punching tf outta them
@@savenification237 you can do the same thing to in FNR3, its just the announcer doesnt point it out
@@savenification237 yeah
@@makmakg242 I have it on PSP and it does tell if u land punches, even more, it counts if it was one or more punches that you landed, it's not like 2 that the guy stay standing like 1 minute 30 seconds
Glad someone made a list for this series. Thought about this recently.
Thanks!!! I appreciate the love! 🥊🎮
I'm mad it's been 3 years with no new game
I love your take on Fight Night Round 3 being underrated. That's my favorite out of the whole series. Fight Night Round 2 is my second favorite. Great venues, great roster, etc. Champion comes in at #3 for me, and I didn't really care for Round 4 or the original Fight Night. All versions should have Tyson and Lennox Lewis, though.
I appreciate it, 3 has a charm to it. It's cool that everyone has their own favorite tho
FR
Best part of those early Fight Night games was teeing off on your opponent once you knock them out. I loved knocking them out against the ropes and hitting them with a 6-piece on the way down lol. Great video.
That's why Fight Night RD 2 is my favorite in the series. I disagree with him on the haymaker emphasis; ive beaten plenty of opp 50/50 mix of regular punches and haymakers. There is a strategy to it....
Fight Night Round 3 🥊🥊
My favorite was round 3
Round 3 still goes hard tbh. Just for me and my ADHD, I need the speed lol
@@IVSAKENSOUL get that flashing yellow bar and work on better timing 🥊🥊
@@MRw-S I feel you, I'm probably gonna do some more gameplays of 3 and 4 since those were more popular on the channel
@@IVSAKENSOUL I look forward to them! check out the MClassic as well, I got one and dam does it make PS3 games look awesome 🥊🥊
Dude this was a great video and you were super well versed at the mechanics of each game. And your voice isn’t boring to death like some people have sometimes. Your channel has so much potential, keep at it👍🏽👍🏽
THANK YOU! That is inspiring to know the community enjoys my videos. I appreciate the support 😁🙌🏼
Thanks for doing such an enjoyable and useful review! Is the 1st Person view available in Round 4 and Champion?
Nah
Round 3 the best fight mechanics. Champion graphics, story and modes.
Let's hope EA will use bits of every game in a new Fight Night
Round 3 perfected the game in every way. All the games since been nothing but trash.
@@krisadathamavit4440 round 3 was very slow and no boxer gets gassed from a parry then gets hit three times. That’s why in round 4 they took away that cheesy parrying
Round 3 was good at the time but when 4 released and gave you the ability to fight on the inside, the invisible shield in 3 was horrible.
FNRD3 defence/counter/parry system is the BEST there is. It is what sets someone with TRUE SKILLS from button mashing bums.
It requires supreme hand coordination/timing/speed of execution/and strategic mental awareness to master.
Scrub players dont have the ability to hang. That's why bums always be crying about rd3 parry system when they get KO they hate
From someone who's just played R2,R3 and Champions it's a big mix between those three for just 1st place.
On one hand I absolutely love Champions face-scan so I can add some weirder fighters, but I like R3/2's sliders for custom boxers too, actually giving me the ability to create some freakshows. Although I don't like how the 360 version of Round 3 changed trunks and hair which were good on the Original Xbox version, some trunks I prefered the look of on last gen.
I found Round 3 has nice pacing, from experience with R2 heavyweights feel fine, but featherweights feel so quick I almost think I'm watching the game on triple speed when they walk. While Champions also has the pacing down fine.
I kinda like the simplified controls on Champions since I'm just frankly terrible at the 6 direction blocking/countering in R2/R3.
And Round 3 has got to be the winner in the presentation department, I just love how boxers change poses when selected instead of being static images on Champion. And especially the matchup loading screen showing the two with their names in their fight ready pose
I think round 3 apart from the parrys is the best 🥊🥊👀
Been playing 04 for the first time since I was a kid and i forgot how fun this game was
Champion got to be my favorite. So many great memories playing that. But I cant help but to think you was stoned making this video. Lol
FNC is sure the best, no doubt.
Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for watching!
I love so much FN series. 2004 and Round 3 are extremely funny, love it
They're all classics too
2004's rag doll animation was just hilarious 😂 the opponent is jelly and about fall but the punches keep him up 14:47 HAHAHA LMAO
😂😂 it gets me every time
😂😂
My favorite one lol
Round 3 had this too on psp I believe. And I tried champion but I hate that they removed directional blocking (parrying). It's so stale and feels sluggish compared to the ps2 titles. I have yet to try round 4
Animation look's good compare to round 4
great video bro fight night 2004 definitely a classic
bro Round 3 was the only fight night version i had on my PSP! rn im currently downloading the champion version on my pc with a ps3 emulator cuz i just wanna have those nostalic and fun memories back. college is stressing me rn lmao.
Love your vids,bro
Thanks!
Champion clearly looks better than round 4 that game is still beautiful
The likeness in Champion is unbelievable compared to round 4.
Round 4 didn’t have white faced on created black fighters. Round 4 was also more accurate since champion had forced misses.
It kind of pained me at first to see round 3 at the bottom, but I’m glad that you said that it’s underrated. Obviously I’ve said it’s my favorite fight night game, and that I love enough to own the ps2 and ps3 versions, that’s how hardcore I am about fight night round 3.I have found that those who didn’t like it at first tend to appreciate it more every time they play it whether it be the 360/ps3 version or original Xbox/ps2 version. One thing I love about the fight night games is that everyone seems to have a different ranking. A good buddy of mine thinks round 2 is the best, my brother thinks round 4 is the best, and obviously I love round 3, but I just love that everyone has a different favorite and every reason I hear is a valid reason for it being their favorites.
Exactly. They all have their own unique charm. I do enjoy 3 more the more I play. The overhaul from the PS2 to PS3 is enormous. Glad you can appreciate the differences amongst gamers
Exactly. The fact that everyone has a different favorite fight night game, means that there isn’t a single fight night game that’s bad. That says a lot. I appreciate all the variety spread through the fight night series
Most people complained about the haymakers in round 2 which is why in round 3 they slowed it down so drastically. I have all of them round 3 had the most users online and around the world. Round 4 was one of the best ones.
From round 3 to round 4 was a few years in between and a new developer team pretty much round 4 was their first game which is why it looked cartoony.
Makes sense. I don't mind the style. It reminds me of Ready 2 Rumble in a way
I think they simply want to try a different artistic style.
Rd4 all boxers looked the same like bobble heads. Even worse is the garbage gameplay all you do is throw hooks to body.
@@krisadathamavit4440 I never throw just hooks to the body that’s not realistic and fighters will counter you on higher difficulty.
@@billielachatte4841 no it was a whole new development team round 4 and round 3 were nothing alike other then EA sports.
damn, round 3 is the only one i've played so seeing at the bottom was rough because i thought it was fun as hell. though, this vid is making me consider picking up 2004 on emulator
I've had all except round 4. Currently playing Champion. Round 3 is the best for me. Perfect mixture of Sim & fun factor
in fight night champion is there a way to turn off the camera shake everytime a punch is landed? thats very annoying, i heard you can do it by putting it in simulation mode, but isnt simulation mode for the ai only matches and not for a real person playing?
Idk why I remember playing fight night round 3 and I remember the controls standing back up was a lot like fn champion. I was upset when I saw the left and right joy sticks 🤦🏽♂️
We need a fight night for PS5 and Xbox series X
Yessssss, ESBC is the closest thing to that, and hopefully the Fight Night rumors are true
they are some rumors for a new fight night
@@sunshine_bypolar8769I got excited and then realized this comment is 2 years old lol 😢
@@user-we8lj6us9n same bro
Fight Night Round 2 is personally my favorite Fight Night, but 4 sure gives it a run for it’s money.
Round 2 is pure fun imo. It's better when you play with a friend, and play chicken with Haymakers
Also has best career mode with the rankings system where u could see what rank u were in the top 50
@@colinmcmillan5920right everyone says 3 is better but 2 had the way better career mode
5:08 brooo you can’t forget the music in this one i enjoyed this one’s music as a kid
Fight night round 2 for me had by far the best career mode with the ranking.system and super fun to play
Round 2 is one of the more fun Fight Nights
I wish I played Fight Night Champion more back then but like you said was already so many awesome games out at the time
I feel like I missed out too, but I'm happy I played the games I played. There was waaaaaaay too many great games then.
IVSAKENSOUL yeah that Ps2/Xbox/GC era was something else don’t know if ever get that mix off quality and quantity ever again
I’m a huge boxing and boxing game fan and I totally agree with the top two picks. They should just bring back 2004 and fn 4 put it back online again. Almost seems like a conspiracy theory that in 2022, we still don’t have a new boxing game! Just give us back the ones you already made dang it! Their both very solid and accomplished boxing games that like you said stand the test of time.
2 boxing games on the way. ESBC and Fight Night
Aye Im glad someone ranked these! I started going back and playing a lot of these and man they are so much fun, i Know what u mean u can tell the differences between the games and how the mechanics are. I played the most of Fight night round 3, but they are all really fun in their own way!
Nice video review!!!
Thanks! You excited for Esports Boxing Club?
@@IVSAKENSOUL Oh man I am super excited for Esports Boxing club. I cannot wait til it releases. I still wonder why EA doesnt capitilize on sports games like boxing,. There is a large fan base! Are you getting Esports Boxing club?
@@Roman-Warrior because EA is greedy lol and Floyd Mayweather made boxers realize their worth. I'm getting ESBC tho
Career mode is the most important aspect for me. So far, nothing comes close to Fight Night Round 3 on PSP...You can have 3 fights in the same month
is round 4 backward compatible xbox one? thank you! hapy new year
Unfortunately not, Champion can be played on Series X/One X/360 tho
Bro this video is amazing, i feel like if a friend was talking to me of the topic and it wasnt only a video, great video dude, keep it up!
🙌🏼 Thank you!!! It's always amazing to hear that someone appreciates my content. Which Fight Night is your favorite btw?
@@IVSAKENSOUL honestly i have only played 1, when I was little, I played fight night round 4 and I loved it a lot, I'm very happy that the only one that I played came out so high in the top, i am planning un playing it again soon
You should definitely play 2004
The punching in the original fight night looks so beautiful
I respect you for putting 2004. We need a remastered 2004 for 2024
Appreciated the video, good memories.
Gameplay Rd4 particular the blocking strength and it wasn't automatic. Loved the training in 3 and 4
Thanks! I agree. The blocking meter added more strategy to the game.
Fight night rd 3 was my favourite...the punch ststem by far the best. And really felt like you could bring your own tactics to a fight rather being forced to play a certain way
Seeing this now after undisputed beta came out, wonder what you think about that game?
Can you please do a video ranking the career mode of all games cause I feel like Champion has the best career mode
I never played fight night, but I'm planning on buying one for my ps3 or 360. Which one should I get?
Ps3
Looking forward to round 5 🤭
I'm 51 now and went to the city of Hickory N.C. a month ago to get me some more games for my ole trusty ps2. Got my splinter cell games and dang if they didn't have but one Fight Night 2004 in , that I grabbed with cat like reflexes and yeah it's just the bees knees freind.....WOOOOW !!!!!! THE 😄🤣👌
“Fight night round champion” 😂 hell yeah brother 🤘
#1 Fight Night Round 2 (9.4)
#2 Fight Night Champion (7.7)
#3 Fight Night Round 4 (7.6)
#4 Fight Night 2004 (8.1)
#5 Fight Night Round 3 PS2 version (7.5)
I agree
Yo the ragdolls had me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I miss it like crazy
Overhand and Undisputed discords brought me here. Definitely agree, 2004 is probably the best boxing game made to this day and that’s odd considering the power we have in more recent console generations. It had the savagery, speed, and impact on the punches that developers these days can’t seem to emulate
Tbh I’ve never played any fight night game which one would be the best to pick up?? Torn between round 4, 2004, or champion, help pls all the ones I’ve named look fuckin dope man
If you want to play online, get Champion. I'd recommend playing 4 and 2004, because the gameplay is more fun than Champion. Champion feels like an arcade game
@@IVSAKENSOUL Thankyou so much for that bro appreciate ur advice can’t believe I’ve slept on these games all my life always been a fifa kind of guy and COD 🤣Thankyou brother great video btw keep doin ur thing and behalf of ur subscribers we appreciate you gettin back to our comments not many do that so Thankyou 👍
@@kamikaze-xj9iv thanks! If you play on Xbox, 2004 is backwards compatible with 360. Also, Champion can be played on Series X and down
Fight night champion had very poor fighter cuts and damage, the graphics were amazing but the blocking from the opponent would get annoying
The blocking is 🗑, but the graphics and accessibility make it better that it actually is
I was a Knockout Kings fan
I only have an xbox 360, would you reccomend round 4 first then?
I'd like to play with Marvellous Marvin Hagler?
Fight night 2004 looks great. The ps2 era 2004 -2005 was amazing for sports games.
Round 4 is a MUST play
@@IVSAKENSOUL yeah? It's interesting how everyone seems to have a different fave ha. I like the look of 3 and 2004.
Round 4 looks good too!
Yes get round 4 it’s the best one.
Round 3 has the best graphics though
Fight night round 3 had the best engine
It did have a unique atmosphere, and on PS3/360! Can only imagine if the older ones were brought to next gen
👍
Does anyone know if you can play fight night 2004 on the Xbox 360?
My favourity was FNR3. Yes, it was slower but more tactical in some way.
Loved round 3 for the cuts and fixing the cuts
Fight Night 2004 my favorite fight night game .
Fight Night Around 3 in psp was the best especially when you just want to beat up lightweight boxers with Ali. I spam the haymaker and enjoy seeing the busted face of my opponent.
Maaaaaaaan, I miss my psp!!
@@IVSAKENSOUL you can download a emulator and download the game
@@WFSNBl8ck I actually just dropped a video today of PPSSPP gameplay of Fight Night Round 3 🥊🎮
@@IVSAKENSOUL ok
Which fight night game was it when they would have a press conference in the career mode and you could punch your opponent during the press conference?
Round 3
Damn I forgot about this
2004, i played soooooo much of that game
Fight night champion is the best sure. I love all Fight night but FNC is sure no1.
I remember getting stunned the first time lol it was intense and I learned to do it to them and it was awesome lol best boxing games ever
I personally like 3 cuz thats the 1 i grew up on but i always played the ps2 version and never knew there was a ps3 version so ima get to experience tht now but no hate to the rating.🙏🤝
Round 4 was 🐐 because you had to fight solely with the analog and that made controls more realistic
I'm playing 4 now, it's an ok game. The only problem is everything syo 4 has, Champion has better. It's simply more complete
Fight night Champion is rank #1 -
Fight night 2004 - rank # 2
Fight night Round 4 -rank # 3
Fight night Round. 2 - rank # 4
Fight night Round 3 - rank # 5
Knockout Kings
Don King Prize Fighters
The block is important in real Boxing.
I wish I can play round 4 theres an error or something its says disk error and its not on xbox one
For me Champion, Round 4, 04, Round 3
Champion to me has the best balance, as well as Round 4.. the customization for those was weaker sadly, along with the training modes, loved the implementation of cut man& round based performance to address what we wanted to take care of (stamina, health, block meter)
I wish the block meter stayed, Champion let's you cheese it, but they added some dynamics to it. You can tell some punches slide through the block as you progress. They need to remaster these games, or at least release a new one.
@@IVSAKENSOUL champion is cheesy with the blocking that is facts.
You forgot Round 2
But to be fair Round 2 has mayweather in it so you have an excuse
Round 2 looking good.
I was using the PCSX2 footage for this i believe.
I literally can't find any video of the mitts training in fn 2004🤣
Round 3 was a boxing fans boxing game. Best graphics. Best simulation. Best combat. The perry system was to this day, the best. The slower pace is what makes the game so much fun, tactically.
damn 7 months ago this still pretty early ig
Fight Nigth 2004 Greatest of All Time!P.Daddy "Victory" hit!
Try fight night round 3 psp version, i know its not really good at graphic, but the animation is absolutely won to all that game on the video, AFTER fight night 2004
I'd say it is a ported version of 2004
Fight night champion is very secretive while slapping, and this is what makes it not compatible with Fight night 4, which is distinguished by the method of defense and slow punching really realistic.
for me round 3 and champion are my favorites 🔥🔥🔥
Who tf is Robert Duran i only know Roberto Duran🤣 nice content btw
8:25 This kind of shit is not even in any big games today! Looks incredible. To think it's such an old game and still groundbreaking. Wish this has set a standard as opposed to being an anomaly.
If 4 had parrying it would be dope. 3 is my favorite.
Round 2 is still king💪🏽
Still one of the most fun games from the series. The best Haymakers imo
Round 2 was never king. Round 3 maybe which came right after.
Fight Night Round 3 And Knockout Kings 2003 are my favorite
It's be a minute since I played the knockout kings games. Round 3 is one of the most memorable Fight Nights
@@IVSAKENSOUL Knockout kings 2003 for the gamecube was a great a game
I'll have to try and emulate it sometime. I have a gamecube tho, so I could get the og
@@IVSAKENSOUL that cool bro
Champion should have been No 1
Have you played the other Fight Nights?
False not even top 3
Definitiv FNC
@@IVSAKENSOUL havent
Round 4 was the best without a doubt to me
😤👍🏼
I'm playing 4 now, it's an ok game. The only problem is everything 4 has, Champion has better. It's simply more complete
Love em all, couldn't play round 4, they fixed it with champion
2004 and round 3 are my favorites
Two amazing games! You getting ESBC??
If it ends up being good, I will for sure
2004 is definitely my favorite. The game play got too technical and slow in all of the other ones I played.
Bruh this was my lineup and to this day 2004 is the best they had everything right the first time speed and power with the combos
One of the reasons I’m hyped for that new boxing game is that it has the rag doll physics for knockouts which always makes a game 1000x better, instead of repetitive canned animations. Any game where I can knockout someone better be physics based as their body flops on the mat. Great vid though
What game?
@@TheUltimateHacker007 I'm pretty sure at the time I was talking about ESBC boxing club because that was one of the feature that they were talking about
Fnr2 is the only one i can play as its the only one on gamecube
round 2 got the best controls..no 1 punch knockout though from full health
I don't remember 1 punch KO's in 2, I know 2004 had them. It was rare to see, but it was funny when it happened lol. I did like 2's haymakers the best, but they didn't have that same meaning as the later games since you could just spam it. Still dope
@@IVSAKENSOUL memories its tough getting older
I agree with you 💯 percent. 2004 is the best boxing game period
Not to be a stickler but you can create your own face it on fight night Champion also you didn’t mention the champions story mode, no knock.. I got big love for fight night fans
EA needs to make a new fight night for console and pc.
Champion wins for me because the blocking makes u better. Makes u set up yo power punches to get past blocks.
Round 2 all day
Round 2 does have the best haymakers tho 👊🏼💥
That was my favorite I miss healing them in the corner
They need to bring it back
@@brandonmccomas5363 the corner was the best in round 2 felt like hbo boxing corner they showed punch stats between rounds
In all my years of playing fight night 2004, several details I’ve never experienced. Like the names on the trunks, glitched hair , no eyebrows, no tattoos.. Never knew the fix for that but would’ve been nice
What are you talking about? Think I missed that part sounds interesting can you explain more?
@@earlyculyer4103so I played Fight Night 2004 on original XBOX for years and basically in the character creation, everything I described is exactly what I experienced. Never learned how to fix it
I agree with I love fight night 2004
round 2 seems like a downgrade in graphics and training imo. Its just haymaker city
Fight round 3 on the PSP was the best for me.
I just copped that for my psp too
Sama aja gameplaynya sama round 2 di ps2 itu round 3 yg psp.. Bagusan round 3 ps2 bro, beda bgt sama round 3 psp
All the games are good for Fight Night as for me I like Fight Night 3 the best followed by Fight Night 2 and you could throw bombs in that game Follow by Fight Night 2004 they had a whole lot of ratings for fighters in that game and you could make your own fighter
Fight night round 2 am very good at that game I've beat boxers on the hardest difficulty
Champion is the best. Still slaps on Series X. Champion mode was entertaining but Isaac Frost was so nasty
Champion far from the best the developers stopped caring and ruined the game. The fighters get tired if they fight 3 minute rounds. Game only runs good on 2 minute rounds and in greatest of all time difficulty the computers stamina stays at 100. Cheesy.
Sure the best is Champion.
@14:55 I’m crying 😂😂😂 he was letting him have it
lol that's my favorite part of 2004
😆😅😂
I agree with 2004 minus the music and the commentating. I love the matches and fast punches though there is no hugging though to survive
Just lean back and run
