Closing Comments
It is uncertain whether a bit more time in development could have shaped The Fight: Lights Out into something mildly enjoyable, but as it stands the finished product is a mess that is not only frustrating to play -- it is also tiring and boring. The slow and inaccurate control mechanics are frustrating, the ridiculous tough-guy approach inspires laughter, the single-player career mode will lose your interest almost immediately and multiplayer will lose you even sooner. The Fight: Lights Out is a game where the developers probably should have thrown in the towel a long time ago.
IGN Ratings for The Fight: Lights Out (PS3)
Rating Description
out of 10 Click here for ratings guide
3.0 Presentation
Clunky menus and awful video tutorials recall the Sega CD at its worst, and the career is the laziest seen in years.
6.0 Graphics
The visuals are adequate, though the locations and character designs are bland and lack personality.
4.5 Sound
A generic Hip-Hop soundtrack that compliments the usual sounds of meat-slabs being smacked.
2.5 Gameplay
With inaccurate and frustrating controls that don't work the way you want them to, you will simply end up tired and bored.
2.5 Lasting Appeal
It's hard to believe anyone will suffer these controls long enough to stick around for more than a few hours, with or without multiplayer.
3.0
OVERALL
Bad
(out of 10)

Holy crap. You'd think Sony would learn by now.

I hope people who read forums like this would learn also. The Fight was spin doctored by a number of people, before it was released.  There was even a post on here with a subject header that hinted at bad, but then the article said it was good.  People then buy into the hype and the final product disappoints.  Doubt it would happen, but I think it would be beneficial if people detach their like of a console and current games on it, from feeling a need that the new stuff, and new initiatives MUST turn out good and you trumpet hype like some sort of sales rep out of pride for your console, and a need for it to persuade others.  One of the worst things that one can have for their console of choice is BAD titles released under too positive expectations.
