The Fight patch enters the ring, DLC coming in December
We get it: there is only so much you can pummel Boxcar Billy in Murder Alley before The Fight: Lights Out starts to lose its luster. Thus, we'd like to inform you about some impending DLC, set to drop in December: the Duke DLC pack. Upon downloading, players are able to use all of the boss characters, including Duke, in both offline and online play. No price or exact release date has been set for the DLC, but we'll let you know as soon as we know. Now for news of the "immediately beneficial" variety: there's a new patch for The Fight: Lights Out. This patch, which will download as soon as you boot up the game, fixes "several small issues reported by players" and gives fisticuffers the ability to turn their fighter translucent, hopefully providing a better view of the on-screen kerfuffle. The PlayStation Blog has also put together a handy little tips video, which we've taken the liberty of embedding just past the break.
The Fight: Lights Out Review: Turn 'em out, party's over
As we've all known for about 10 years now, the first rule of Fight Club is "You don't talk about Fight Club." Coincidentally enough, this is also the second rule. From this, we learn that people who take heavy blows to the skull are (1) not historically known to be good list-makers and (2) not so hot at marketing. Take Sony and ColdWood Interactive's The Fight for example. While the game is being sold as a gritty underground tournament brawler with HD graphics and 1:1 control fidelity, in reality it's actually a very cleverly designed Trojan horse. Yes, The Fight: Lights Out isn't so much a fighting game as it is an cunningly disguised exercise title designed to appeal to macho males who find the prospect of using EA Sports Active or the Your Shape series too emasculating to bear. And to its credit, it does succeed in getting you to work up a sweat. That's good, because as an enjoyable fighting game, it doesn't really fly. %Gallery-95944%
