IGN steps into the ring for Round 2

IGN has posted one of the first reviews for Fight Night Round 2—due out next Monday.  As to be expected, they dealt out a pretty high score: 90.  But it's actually higher than what they gave the original Fight Night
(84).  We're posting their 'Closing Comments' below, for your convenience:

"All things considered, EA Sports Fight Night Round 2 is a solid evolution of an already excellent game. The entire office has been going crazy over it for three or four weeks now and there's no sign of our interest slowing down. Unless something dramatic happens, I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes my favorite sports title for the second year in a row and I'm already looking forward to see what EA has on tap for next year. Could we finally see licensed trainers and a franchise-like Gym Management mode? Or perhaps we'll get a network license for better transitions and fighter scarring that's reflective of the damage he's taken over his career? Regardless of what happens, though, it'll be interesting to see if the team can make as big an improvement on the next version as it did with this one. Without question, Fight Round 2 is a must buy investment for any boxing fan, be they casual or hardcore alike."
