This game is terrible. Nuff said.

I'm a huge fan of the UFC and have been for over 15 years. Ive wanted a UFC video game for a very long time, but this game is simply just plain NOT good. I was skeptical about this game when I heard THQ (same publishers of WWE games) was handling UFC. But I saw decent reviews and heard from a friend that its pretty decent, so I figured I would try it out.

Positives

-Commentary and voice acting is decent.

-Large cast of characters

Negatives

-Graphics. This game doesnt look any better than FNR3, which came out a very long time ago. Infact, Id say that FNR3 looks better than this game, which is sad considering how old that game is.

-Some high profile Character models are horrendous. BJ Penn for example looks autistic in this game. His head is overly big and his eyes are squinty. He doesnt look like that IRL. Dana White looks like Mr. Potato Head in this game. Poorly done models.

-Game play is very STIFF, sluggish, slow. Game is repetitive.

-Here's my biggest knock on the game.... There's No skill required. This absolutely RUINS the online matches. You can simply stand in front of your opponent and do headkick, headkick, headkick, headkick, headkick, headkick, headkick, until you knock him out.

-Cannot use real characters in Career Mode. You can only use created characters. WTF?

-The menus are poorly designed.

-Create a fighter is below average. WWE games and FNR3 both had far better Create a Fighter options, and those games came out long time ago.

-You can't counter kicks or punches. There is no parry system. So every online match consists of standing in front of your opponent and doing 15 headkicks until he's knocked out. And sadly, it works.

-Game is unbalanced. IRL UFC, the clinch is a deadly weapon that you can use to KO opponents. In this game, it's pretty useless. Leg kicks are useless. Ring movement is useless. There is absolutely no tactics involved in this game.

-My gut feeling is that they used the old WWE engine to make this game, and the people making it were not very knowledgable about MMA at all, as evidenced by some of the horrible fighter ratings

Overall - I bought this game this morning. Ive played it almost the entire day. And I already want to return it and get half of my money back. UFC Undisputed is terrible. If you feel otherwise, please feel free to comment and dispute this with me.

There are ways to counter attack, you can blog kicks to the head, etc. This game is awesome

You still take heavy damage even if you block a kick to the head.

Even if you do block it... you cannot COUNTER. Your opponent can just throw another headkick right after with no consequences.

Also, thanks for not disputing any of my points and just coming in and saying "this game is awesome". [/sarc]

You cant just spam headkicks and win. Play anyone decent at the game and you will get murdered playing like that. For one you can step out of the way of them leaving your opponent open to being taken down or hit wih a superman punch or a knee to the head. If im not mistaken you can also catch your opponents kick and take them to ground from that position.

In online if a players keeps kicking i take him to the ground. Cus they probally can't do the ground game if they keep kicking. I play the ground game cus not many ppl are good at it.

wow, I'm sorry but I COMPLETELY disagree with your review, especially the part where you said it doesn't involve any skill. Hey, can we play online sometime, I would LOVE to show you what skill can do in this game.

I learned about skill with Vitrua Fighter 5....It took about 5 hours of training to get on even ground with most online fighters...

So what if your style is kickboxing and you want a stand up fight?

For example, guys like Liddell rarely (almost NEVER) go for takedowns IRL. Yet in this game I HAVE to go for a takedown to stop a stupid flaw that they made in this game.

Horrible programming, and the devs obviously don't know much about UFC.

why don't you actually submit a review for the game instead of posting a thread?

Sorry to hear you didn't like it. Better luck next time ne?
