Sure, sorry i didnt to begin with i was/am still really pissed about all this.

Fight Night has been a great franchise imo, so naturally i was excited about the 360 version.

Well i've only played 2 matches but the Burger King crap is so overwhelming that it totally takes away from the gameplay. Every round or replay is brought to you by burger king, there are 3 BK logos on the the turn buckles, the center of the ring is burger king, there are banners from the ceiling that say have it your way- even the announces SAY this punch brought to you by burger king. the walls are plastered with logos... most are so much higher in contrast to the rest of the game its all you pay attention to.

the game has a very cool shader system to create some nice dynamic lighting, well when they put stats over top, this crazy high contrast burger king logo pops up which totally makes your eye go- what the hell is that blinding thing down there- oh a damn BK logo.

i can deal with subtle fitting adverts, but since when was Ali / Frazier sponsored by a bk broiler?

the game btw, is amazing otherwise. i cant stress enough how much this ruins it though.

WRITE SOME EMAILS TO EA AND BK FOLKS!!!!

Guess thats why you need EA to spell LAME.

5 minutes later..... i cant believe im watching chics figure skating the day FN3 comes out. FUBK

BK's just trying to tap into the video game industry in any way it cans.

I think the blame falls on EA here.
I'm all for realism, and that includes sponsor advertising but I've never seen a fast food joint sponsoring a prize fight

If it was Budweiser it would be realism, BK is just selling out like they did with commercials in movie theatres.

Yeah Budweiser and automobile ads would fit in fine.

Now that I remember, BK was all over the last UFC event I watched on television.
And boy was that annoying....

Wow, thats some passion! Mines havent arrived in the mail yet, but ill be sure to let you know what I think. Damn you EA, you ruined madden, live, and FN3....come on man!

kidkinetix · « **Reply #7 on:** February 22, 2006, 12:09:00 AM »

Hehe, i was actually looking for an excuse to not buy FN3, it only looks average but i have money to blow. This made up my mind.

You would think with the money BK paid to have the logo put in EA could make the game a little cheaper for us. Oh well, like thats ever going to happen.

EA who?

BK rocks!

you cant boycott BK, to many people who dont play video games wont give a shit about what you think. Fast food sells to millions of people everyday, and they wont give a shit if they lose, what like 5 customers because they agree your whining. Who really cares anyhow. go get a whopper© and STFU

Moving to Gamer Chat...

Oh and you'd be better set to send you comments about the Game back to EA, it would also be more effective if you encouraged people to boycott the game as opposed to BK...

BK doesn't care about the game, and that's ok they just make burgers

EA obviously doesn't care about the game either, and that's NOT ok because they make the game.

Can you fight as the crazy-scarey King from the BK commercials?

I was really on the fence about this game. How pathetic is it of me that I can not play boxing games anymore. Mike Tyson's Punch Out is the definitive boxer, and all others have sucked since.
It'd be nice to have a new game to play, but hearing this BK stuff (and knowing how annoyed I would get as well) I am out. Top-spin 2 it is!

You should boycot BK for different reasons like oh i dont know because their food will kill you! All fastfood is horrible for you so no more fastfood! I got a laugh out of THE KING being a promoter in the game. I kinda hear where youre coming from though with all the ingame advertising and BK having nothing to do with boxing till its in front of a bunch of kids then they are all about ramming there nasty ass food down our faces! If they are gonna do this the only reason should be to lower game costs to the consumer, but unfortunately its to fatten their pockets.
