While graphically FNR4 isn't as awe inspiring as Fight Night Round 3 was, one really can't expect it to be. Artists and developers have come a long way in making games for the next-gen consoles. Games like Gears of War 2 now take the cake for jaw dropping graphics, just as FNR3 did back in 2006.

But while impressive graphics are wonderful to look at, the game is worth nothing if the mechanics and gameplay are terrible. FNR4 won't disappoint when it comes to making the game feel as realistic as possible.

As the industry's bar for aesthetics is raised, EA Sports developers have made sure to pay attention to the smallest details to try and gain the visual edge over its competition. For the first time in any sports game, the athletes' muscles will flex and move as it would in real life when the character throws a punch or side steps around the ring. And all of this should happen at a smooth 60 frames per second -- a great improvement from FNR3.

The real showstopper in FNR4 won't be the graphics though, it will be the all new physics engine, followed closely by the revamped career mode, known as Legacy Mode.
