Last night I attended the XBOX 360 Event for “Fight Night Round 4″ at the House of Blues in Hollywood.  The “Showdown at Sunset” as the event was titled had hundred of fans line up for a chance to see celebrities go one-on-one in the ring against each other on the latest edition of the Fight Night franchise from EA Sports.

The highlight of the evening was watching Snoop Dogg and Mike Tyson battle it out on “Fight Night Round 4”. After Tyson lost the game to Snoop Dogg in four-round head-to-head match, he presented Snoop Dogg’s Youth Football League with a $5,000 check. Tyson played himself (of course) and Snoop had a custom character (Malice) which looked pretty much like himself. Snoop was able to knock out Tyson in the 4th round, incidentally the perfect round to promote the Round 4 game title.

“Sugar” Shane Mosely battled it out against Sergio Mora with each boxer playing themself. Mosely took the win in both battles. A slew of celebrities, athletes, and more attended the event and if you were lucky enough to receive a all-access wristband you were treated to free drinks, food, and even back stage entrance.

I had a chance to play “Fight Night Round 4″ and must say that the graphics are unbelievable. The control as well is very detailed and even each boxer is given a signature punch. The game seems to have all the top fighters of past and present including Ali, Frazier, Tyson, and even Manny Pacquiao. Overall, the game is plain fun and great for head to head battles. I’m too busy to really put time into gaming, but this game seems easy enough to step in and fight a few bouts and then step away versus other games that you must dedicate hours upon hours on playing. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a copy of the game and hopefully will receive one soon.

Tyson attended the event with his youngest daughter and new wife, and Snoop’s son was also in attendance. Onlookers for the virtual match-up also included Jerry Ferrara from “Entourage” Larenz Tate from “Rescue Me” and Wood Harris from “The Wire.” Attendees also had a chance to experience “Fight Night Round 4,” which players can enjoy at home or with friends on XBOX LIVE. The game launches June 25.
