Prizefighter is attempting to position itself away from the gloss and spectacle of games like Fight Night by opting for a more realistic, documentary-style approach to pugilism. Players will not only have to worry about what goes on inside the ring, but will also have to manage their fighter's life outside the ring, with training schedules, press appearances and so on.
"The combination of real-life fight scenarios, story-driven gameplay and photo-realistic graphics will set this title apart from the competition," said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. "Our goal has always been to deliver the most engaging and realistic titles, and Don King Presents: Prizefighter will exceed these expectations. Based on the game's innovative features and high-profile fighters, this title will be a 'must have' for any sports gamer."
"In all my years working in professional boxing, I have never seen anything come as close to recreating the thrill, the intensity, the courage and the spectacle of the sport," said legendary boxing promoter Don King. "Don King Presents: Prizefighter is more than a game -- it is a glimpse at what life is like in and out of the ring for these incredible athletes."
Don King Presents: Prizefighter is scheduled for a release in the second quarter of 2008 on the Xbox 360, Wii and Nintendo DS - no PlayStation 3 version will be released. We'll have more on Prizefighter in the coming months.
