"lol ... it's "purbeast" ... not "pure" ... :p"

My bad, pur. (It's been corrected)

"Why would a boxing simulator need a story arc?" & "FNR3 is in opinion, the best offering of a boxing simulator to date, it doesn't need a story."

Scott & dsub, I agree, there is a difference between simulation and story-driven titles. But I do think Fight Night would benefit from some (optional) narrative. Why not feature a virtual boxing gym where you can roam around and interact with npcs? Why not create relationships with your trainer and promoter? Why not go further with the rivalry concept? In my opinion, these aspects are part of simulating a boxer's career.

"new fight types like "hard hits" bring a little bit of something fresh to the game"

dsub, good call. Hard Hits is also the best way to play with a bunch of friends. (And don't forget to taunt them by repeatedly tapping "X" to replay the knockdown again and again...)

"'BFG Gun' is redundant."

GlitchCog, good point. Post amended.

"A thanks for the tip would have been nice... ;)"

gaminghobo, apologizes, I didn't see your tip before posting this. How about a star instead?

*Adds Star*

Feel better now?

"The Xbox 360 is painfully lacking any "shuffle" mode for randomizing through large song archives. That's a standard feature on digital music players now!"

Justin, there is a shuffle mode. Just press the button with the two parallel arrows running in opposite directions. When activated, it will glow faintly.
