This should be the perfect game for Playstation Move. The gritty setting differentiates it from other motion-control games, and the street-fighting premise suits the Move perfectly. In reality, however, The Fightcan't compete with its inaccurate control system. The game puts you through an onerous training and calibrating sequence, hosted by none other than Machete himself, Danny Trejo! The controls are counter-intuitive; you must stand in one spot for the whole game, tilting your controller to walk around, and corresponding punches onscreen bear little relation to the ones you do in person. Consequently, the game is unfairly difficult, and it wasn't fun getting insulted by Mr Trejo every time I lost a fight. Mediocre graphics and settings spar with the bad control system. The Fightshould've been a contender instead of a bum, which is what it is.
