I'm not a hard core gamer. I won a PS3 in a contest and purchased this primarily because I'm a big boxing fan.
This game takes some practice to use the controls effectively and button mashing will not help. When I first loaded the game I couldn't get past the first or second round against any fighter without getting KO'd. As such I found the game quite frustrating. However the more I learned to use the various intricate controls, the more I enjoyed it. Now, this game is one of my favorites.
The game is challenging. The graphics are fantastic, especially on a HDTV. The gameplay is incredibly realistic. Matching up differnt fighters with different styles, strengths, and weaknesses, makes for endless fight possibilities. The 'get in the ring' (only on the PS3 version) is particularly engaging.
I have read complaints about the load times on this game, but they don't seem to be any longer than most other games and don't seem to bother me.
Joe Tessitore serves as the ringside announcer in the game. At least initially this is quite fun because his voice brings the feel of a real fight on ESPN. However, once you've fought a few fights, you've heard most everything he has to say and it starts to get redundant. EA Sports is definitely on the right track using the voice of an actual ESPN boxing analyst, but it future versions I hope they include a wider variety of things to be said, and also additional personalities. It would be great, for example, to hear Tessitore's television counterpart Teddy Atlas chime in during the fight. Or during a heavyweight bout, it would be great to hear commentary from the voice of Lennox Lewis or Mike Tyson.
The game does have areas which can be improved in future releases, but all in all it a great game and by far the best boxing game I've ever seen.

Ok Here are some pros and consPROS
1.Very life like boxers. signiture moves were pretty damn cool i must say.
2.The sweat beads and and facial expression looks so real.
3.Game play is pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
4.The sound of the fighting is really clear such as foot movement spit flying out of the mouth.
5.Great game to play with a friend and talk smack on. lol
CONS
1.Slow loading time when trying to create a boxer. Like changing hair,shoes,gloves,etc...
2.I really didn't think EA Sports took there time on some very easy detail such as the people in the backround. They all look like ps2 people. Ps3 is much more capable of better backround graffics.
Overall this is a great game and i would say go get it!My 16 year old son loves this game. The graphics are unbelievably great, at times it looks almost like live action. You can see beads of sweat on their lifelike-looking skin. Definitely a game to own, not just rent. Worth the money. A real winner!

THE GOOD:Great graphics: amazing detail on the fighters. You can see each bead of sweat, and each drip of blood is stunning detail. The light reflects off their skin making the game feel very realistic.
Sound effects: pretty good sound from the crowds and when landing a hit.
THE BAD:
Terrible load times: it takes FOREVER for this game to load. It is very annoying and detracts from the game. Also, creating your boxer's face is nearly impossible with the slow load time. You the next hair style, and 5 seconds later it finally loads! I can't believe they released the game with such horrendous load times.
Difficult controls: using the right analog stick takes some getting used to, and it is very hard to through combinations. Blocking is also tricky.
Lackluster gameplay: It's hard to get into a fight. Once you get into the Career mode, your first few fights are fun because you can win with authority. After that, the fights drag on and on and it takes forever to get a knockout.
Career mode has no structure: there's a bar that fills up with your popularity, but that's about it. No ranking, no percent progress, nothing.
Music: same 12 rap songs get annoying very fast.
Training voice over: during training and between rounds the trainer's comments are annoying to the point of muting the TV.
No autoload at initial start up. So every time you play the game, you need to manually load your profile! Stupid!

To tell you the truth, I had recently decided to never buy a game from EA sports again. Madden, FIFA, NBA Live, NHL Hockey, whatever, they are all expensive roster updates really. But I little money came by and I decided to buy a game. I checked out most games at my local store's shelves and I realized most games priced under $40 dollars were a joke. I finally decided to buy FNR3, thinking I would get what I paid for. But as soon as I played the game for the first time I was hooked. Everything about this game is cool, there's the music, the training, the lights, the brute force, everything. I can tell you this game looks better than most 1080p games such as MLB 07 the show, even though it only has 720p. Every detail is amazingly portrayed. If your fighter is a little chubby, after training for a couple of fights, you'll rally see the difference. The fighter will bulk up, the muscles will get really toned, and your veins will burst out of your head and arms. Even the round card babes look hot! Other features included are, create a champ, career, training, contracts, championship fights, and other cool stuff. Start your own career and get from a wannabe chump, to a legendary champ.
