UFC 2009 Undisputed

The problem that I may pose for reviewing a fighting game is that I don’t play that often. I just don’t have the time.

This passed long weekend I had a chance to finish the tutorial and start playing around. The graphics are great and the game play is fun, it’s just that if you’re not the avid gamer then getting used to the controls is going to take some time.

If you are looking to start in career mode and build your own fighter, your best bet is to play for while in exhibition mode and use different fighters before starting a career. Get used to the controls and the game functions, that way when you do start career mode you don’t start off with a crappy record like my already 0-2.

This game is a blast to play and as Dana White mentioned, it’s not for the average button masher. There is no way you can possibly win by just pressing random buttons and hoping you get lucky. You have to block, stick and move. Avoid getting gassed out and learn to flick the controller sticks instead of holding them while punching. There are so many things to memorize and even if you do have all the basic moves memorized, it’s a matter of executing them. The controls are very reactive if used properly.

The average, lazy button mashing player will get bored and frustrated with this game very quickly and will likely say that it sucks. I’m one of those casual gamers that when given the time, will play FPS games for hours. This is a whole new realm to me. If this is the first fighting game you’ve bought in some time, be patient, be precise and practice. It’s the only way you’re going to get the most out of this game.

I’m sure there are much more thorough reviews of this game out there, I’m just throwing my 2 hours of experience in.

Great game and very challenging. Definitly worth the money vs. time played factor.

Tapout Crew Final Fighters For UFC Game

Could this be the reason the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. lacks support?

Way to go THQ. Since patches don’t bring in the cash, might as well forget supporting the old game you’re still accountable for and try to rip off more people by making a prequel.
