The latest demo on Xbox Live Marketplace is yet another EA sports game.

This time the sport in question is boxing. Now, I have no love of boxing in real life, but I do like fighting games and this one seems pretty good. It looks lovely, first off, though it’s going for realism, which is the least interesting graphical option to my eyes. It plays nicely, I think. I fought two four-round fights. Lost the first by a nose and then comprehensively won the second one.

I’m actually thinking that it may be worth buying, but that depends on me learning the workings of the right analogue stick properly. I’m starting to get there, but I can’t seem to pull off really quick punches yet. Might be the fighter, but I get the impression that it’s my fault.
