5. Isaac Frost Fight Night Champion
Isaac Frost is the most murderous thing to ever pop on boxing gloves and enter the squared circle. Built like the ogre child of two murderous rocks, Frost is as fast as Ali and as powerful as Tyson. He haunts your dreams, and wants to make sweet, sweet love to you with his fists. Frost waits for you at the end of Fight Nights Champion Mode, which is itself a triumph, adding a narrative to the series which was sadly lacking before. While single scraps were always enjoyable, it was nice to have a story behind the violence. And Andre Bishops quest to the heavyweight title was a good one, ending with an epic tussle against this tattooed monster. You already know its a mammoth task because youve stepped into Frosts shoes to slap the mediocrity out of Andres little brother the level before. This really establishes the fear, that if you drop your guard hell happily wear your oesophagus as a necklace. Make no mistake, its fear that drives this fight on. Taken in stages where you simply try and avoid punishment before wearing the titan down, it feels like your favourite Rocky fantasy. If you actually manage to ride the storm and find yourself in a position to knock him out, youre playing Gonna Fly Now in your head. If youre not, Im afraid youre not human, Its hard even getting Frost into this position, so youd best celebrate it when you do.
