The Fight: Lights Out Knockouts

Split-screen mode brings the fun.

EVENT COVERAGE

NY Comic Con 2010
It seems like a given that if a company is going to develop a one-to-one motion controller there should be a game where players can use the hardware to represent their fists and then virtually punch each other in the face. That's exactly the premise of The Fight: Lights Out, which unapologetically glorifies the back-alley brawl.

The Fight hasn't received a whole lot of attention when compared to the rest of Sony's line-up, but this time we got to play split screen and found it to be a whole lot of fun. The setup is simple, players calibrate each of their wands, pick their fighters and then have at it.



Fight or die.

There are 12 characters to choose from, and while I picked a biker gang thug, my opponent looked a little bit like Sony's fake marketing icon, Kevin Butler. At first I flailed wildly, but found that a combination of jabs and haymakers were a quick way to level my opponent. I even got in a few dirty moves that can be accomplished by holding the triggers and moving the controllers in unison. My best attack being a spinning elbow to the face.

As both of our health bars drained the actual punching and wild gestures in front of the screen increased. By the end of the match, it turned out that The Fight was physically exhausting, a good reason for the endgame stats to include a calorie counter. In split-screen mode The Fight induced a lot of arm waving and laughter and it showed me that beating your friends' face in can be a great form of exercise.

Cool will have to buy another two wands for this, were do you want me to sign the check Sony. So far loving my dual purpose console ds3 and motion all in one, so far I get enough of mag move.

Day one purchase. This game will be a blast, especially online with friends and coworkers !!

[alkalinesi]

does anybody else seem like its alil laggy? im still getting it but that kinda scares me. oh was it always being released in november? i thought it was end of october but amazon is saying november.

[ddPLaNeT]

Isn't the release October 28th ?

About the lag, i think it'll be the same as Sports Champion Gladiator, recent videos show a small lag but nothing to prevent me from buying the game.

This seems like fun... Hopefully it can increase sales a good bit

Also I think the lag increases with the more Moves you use. 1 Move is pretty lag free ala Table Tennis, 2 moves only increases it a tiny bit when plating Archery. So 4 Moves in 2 player mode might see some lag too it.

I never notice any lag when playing Archery with 2 controllers.

[mickice]

Wow, I stand corrected then. I guess pretty much all the lag we saw during development has pretty much been wiped.

Thx for this ONQ, i have 3 moves at present and will be buying a 4th with this game, 2 player Fight, even tho im not into the art style will be great fun with the moves precision!

you already have 3?

I think Sony pulled the trojan house trick on us, use 1 controller to get in our homes & once you try it you're hooked and games like Gladiator Duel & The Fight will make you want 2 controllers & games are funner when you play 2 players so we will all end up with 4 controllers before it's all over with.

after playing Sports Champion The Fight better be good, or they better come with some DLC for Sports Champion that adds a Boxing Game.

It just makes perfect sense to buy a second or third Move I'll be buying my second Move when this game launches.

[Dasimpse]

Exactly lol its the devils poison of the move, I bought one, got home played sports champs was like yeh this is good, then i thought its gonna be dope with 2, so i bought another then i was like THIS IS SICK!!! i gotta show someone, so then we played one player gladiator, then we did 2 player and was like hmmm this is ok lol. So i bought another at a bargain price (a guy brought in a starter pack brand new sealed and traded it in, so i bought it and traded in my old camera with my eye of judgement) so in theory i got a move controller for 5 pounds! YAY ME!

now waiting on the fight to get another so i can box up my girlfriend legally!

[Stoffinator]

It had a lot of lag time when I played it at the Sony event here. In all the times I watched it, nobody won a math. lol

[legaldisaster]

This game looks like so much fun, it feels like I've been waiting on it forever. I'm more excited about this than moh. Does anybody know if it will be an online multiplayer on top of a two player fight? It'd be awesome to beat up some of my psn friends oh man it would be so awesome if you could have 4 player fights, or tag team fights. Damn I cannot wait either way, but I'm going to have to search for a deal on 2 more moves.

It's so true though, before I was thinking that I would be fine with just one move controller and was contempt to just having one for awhile. But before buying it I've watched a video of Gladiator Duel. Then there, I bought an extra controller along with the bundle. It's kinda the trojan horse trick you mentioned.

Here's another good example, with my Move gaming all set, for now, with two Move controller. I played Sport Champions and other psn ready Move games. I decided to pick up Heavy Rain and made up my mind I dont need a Nav controller. I can live with playing with my DS3. After a few hours on the game, the thought of playing it with the Nav ran through my mind like crazy. So the next morning I went on a search for a Nav controller, and I got one now!

Anyway, back to the thread. I'm looking forward for this game too. I'm pissed off at EB Games right now, because it says in their website its released already at the same time as the bundle. But its misleading and its not out. It drives me crazy thinking they had the game already. Thats how much I want to try this game out.

Now I think I'm going to have to buy 2 more Move controllers because I had some competition that came over this weekend & I don't think I can go back to playing the 2 controller games with 1 move now that I tried them with 2.

I'm getting The Fight for sure just hope it lives up to the standard that's been set by Sports Champion.

Sony has giving out cheap Crack only to get us all addicted & before we know it there will be a must have 2 player game that's going to have us all with 4 move controllers in our homes,

Don't think we will see any 4 player/tag team fights but there is an online multiplayer.

Can't wait to start fightin you all, will be awesome
