Leading sports game publisher Electronic Arts returns to the squared circle with Fight Night 2004, the first release under this new title. While a number of the sports’ real-life professionals are featured in the game, including Lennox Lewis, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, and cover athlete Roy Jones Jr., a Create-A-Player option allows players to design their own contenders from scratch. The game’s new, analog stick-driven “Total Punch Control” system is designed to offer players greater immediate manipulation of their boxers, allowing them to steer each swing, block, and evasive move.
