    This game is one of the best PSP games on the market. Awesome graphics, great interface! From your trainer yelling to your cutman helping you do battle the next round from your own honey of an entoruage who helps recover from knockdowns this game is very detailed. Only drawback is when fight ends in a TKO the game freezes and then a wide shot of the ref stepping in is not very smooth and This game is one of the best PSP games on the market.

    When I first put the game in, I was shocked by how good it looked. These are some of the best graphics I have seen on the PSP. Ther action is fast, the controls are responsive and the fighting is fierce. Though the PSP has a limited number of "real" boxers, it lacks nothing in the "Create a Boxer" mode. I easily give this game an 8.9 and with a larger stable of boxers, it could have When I first put the game in, I was shocked by how good it looked.

    a must have if you like fighting non button mashers. i noticed the controls were easier to master and the frame rate was satisfying. Graphics seemed to pop out nicely and the boxers looked great! boxer lineup could have been better. i enjoy the feel of the punches and haymakers. hate to admit it but this game's staying in my psp drive. i actually like not having to use the dual a must have if you like fighting non button mashers. i noticed the controls were easier to master and the frame rate was satisfying.

    Compared to its consle counterparts, the boxing is smooth. This is one of the best games for PSP to date. Create a boxer and get ready for some serious play time.

    i was sceptical since i also own the console version of this game. I really enjoyed the button layout. Bottom line. i can consentrate on my combos instead of moving an analog corrrectly. The intensity battles if set to (medium and up) is quite challenging. the boxers pop out nicely on the lcd and it's very clear when parrying a blow or just ducking, I like the sense of momentum. onto i was sceptical since i also own the console version of this game.

(maybe a little too fast. The Ai seems to copy the actual boxer's fighting styles. This game had depth finally a psp game i can pick up and play. the create a boxer mode is straight from the console (sculpting features). overall i really enjoy this fighting sim for what it is. even if you are not a boxing fan. Wi fi 2 bucks is nothing.... This is where it gets personal. a bit of lag (depending on connection) but i hear this will be perfected. it's fun learning other fighters' styles. this is huge! real quick to connect. a true gem for the first time around. because i'm always on the road i've been playing this version over my xbox version.… Expand

    Estoy jugando este juego en pleno 2019 en mi vieja y confiable PSP y sólo puedo ser breve y conciso !!! Pero que juegazo !!!! Hoy en día en pleno apogeo de juegos Android clónicos Shooter pay-to-win ningino se compara con un clásico como este. 10/10 !!!

    The game is decent but for not along time
    It's career mode is addictive until you become the champion then it slowly becomes below average game because of its lack of variation that really makes this game an addictive game but for a short time game
    Overall a decent game for a small amount of time, so don't think that you'll spend days and weeks playing this

    Despite the pick-up-and-play allure, Fight Night Round 3 can quickly tire out of frustration. The PSP's limited number and close-proximity of its buttons don't do this boxer justice--fitting jabs, hooks, uppercuts, blocks, clinches, special moves, taunts, etc. for fast access just doesn't work well on the system.

    A spectacular boxing game that moves beyond a lot of the systems prior limitations.

    Some of the fights, especially early on in your career, are over with in less time than it takes to load the bout. But that aside, this is a title that is fun and addictive.
