The Fight: Lights Out is a 2010 action fighting video game developed by ColdWood Interactive[1] and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. It utilizes the PlayStation Move controllers.[2] It was unveiled at the 2010 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco[2] and was released in November 2010.
The game is presented with predominantly black-and-white graphics and bright red blood. In the game, the player takes control of a character in a one-on-one fight with another character. Players use the PlayStation Move to control characters' attacks, such as punches, jabs and uppercuts by performing the same moves in real life using the controller. There are twenty-three moves available to the player.[3]
The Fight received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Joystiq said, "Take this mess of iffy hit detection and blocking, tack on perfunctory online multiplayer and a half-realized match gambling system, and you have a game ... sort of." IGN said the game was "a mess that is not only frustrating to play – it is also tiring and boring." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a better score of two sevens, one six, and one eight for a total of 28 out of 40.
