Electronic Arts announced that its new boxing game, EA SPORTS Fight Night 2004 has begun shipping to retail locations nationwide for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The game is published under the EA SPORTS brand and features Light Heavyweight Champion of the World Roy Jones Jr. as its cover athlete.
Built from the ground up to deliver the bone-crushing action of championship boxing, EA SPORTS Fight Night 2004 is an all-new boxing game that features Total Punch Control, an all-analog control system. Total Punch Control allows gamers to throw punches, block, bob, and weave with fluidity and precision by instinctively using the controller's thumbsticks. The game also includes a deep create-a-player option, career mode, and online play for the PlayStation 2 console via EA SPORTS online. There will be no XBox Live support since the EA/Micorsoft online dispute has not yet been resolved.
EA SPORTS Fight Night 2004 also includes 32 of the world's best boxers -- from legends like Sugar Ray Leonard and Muhammad Ali to current greats like Roy Jones Jr and Lennox Lewis, as well as tomorrow's superstars including new undisputed junior middleweight champ, Ronald Winky Wright.
EA SPORTS Fight Night 2004 was co-developed by EA Canada and EA Chicago. The official homepage for EA SPORTS Fight Night 2004 can be found by following the download tab above.
