Is it still worth playing?

Punches are thrown by flicking the right stick, with the option of pressing a button, in a control scheme called Full Spectrum Punch Control. It is a third person boxing game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 from March 2011. The secondary buttons for uncommon and power punches were changed: a power modifier lets power punches be thrown by holding a button while punching, and blocking and leaning each have a single button. It has a grittier, darker setting. The violence and strong language of its story mode earned a Mature rating, and it was one of the first EA games released without a paper manual. A story mode built around boxing is a good reason to go a round again today.
