Video Gaming News - March 2005

Redwood City, CA (March 1, 2005) - Electronic Arts announced today that Fight Night Round 2 has shipped to retailers nationwide.

From EA Sports:

Packing in stunning graphics and exciting new gameplay features, players now have the ability to control the power and speed of their punch via the new EA Sports Haymaker punch mechanic. Utilizing the innovative analog Total Punch Control feature introduced in last year’s hit game, players can now add extra power to each punch for that satisfying one-punch knockout or increase damage on their opponents with each devastating hit. Taking the excitement and intensity of the game to the next round, fighting and boxing fans will truly feel the impact of their punches as they unleash fearsome blows to their opponents.

Also new to the series is a unique create-a-champ option, an extensive career mode and the EA Sports Cutman. Instead of the typical non-interactive cut-scene between rounds, players can take control of the corner cutman and use his tools to reduce swelling and damage on their boxer’s face. Gamers can also take the match online and duke it out with friends across the country with Xbox Live and PlayStation 2. For Nintendo GameCube fans, Fight Night Round 2 will include the classic boxing title, Super Punch-Out!.
