Visuals:
The visuals for UFC: Undisputed 2010 are pretty good and that include the detail to most of fighter's from George St. Pierre to Anderson Silva and even Brock Lesner and the visuals on the detail to the Octagon and the fans that make up the surrounding environment. So I'll start with the detail with the environments and they were good but not that great and most of the fans in this game just seemed to be copy and pasted just like in the Smackdown V.S Raw series which is kind of a cheap and a bit lazy but I guess it's not all about the environment then it is about the detail to the fighter's but I'm not their yet so the detail the individual fighter's entrance was done in good detail, the in ring detail is great with all the ad's and stuff all over it and the overall presentation is all done well. But now I'll bring up how well the detail is on the fighter's are and how poorly they are done as well so this is a bit 50/50 so to the detail's to the fighter's are really done well and their characteristic's are all but all most in exact detail but not quite and on most of the fighter's like on George St. Pierre, Anderson Silva, Brock Lesner and Shane Carwin and many more all look like their real life counter part's and other's just do not at all and on some they look like they just have their face pasted on on some bodies or the other way around. So the in short for the visuals for this game are really good but they are still average at best but just a little bit better than average which is just plain good.
Audio:
Now the audio for UFC: Undisputed 2010 is just superb and this game's voice work is so great because they got everyone from the UFC to do the color commentary and all the weigh-ins and post main event stuff and that is the conversation's in a press conference after all you main event which are fights for the championship or fight for the number one contender for the championship and again when I say they got everyone from the UFC they even got Dana White to voice himself in the career mode, so basically the voice work is just great. The music in this game is quite good as well and when you get to the Pay-Per-View's for the your main event's it is like you are actually watching it and they are also just superb. The sound's that the crowd makes is great whe you are doing good they cheer and when you are doing bad they boo and when you are being announced in for the fight the crowd is some what quite but not completely just like in real life and that really make this game really authentic. So in short for the audio for this game is and it is just plain superb.
Gameplay:
The gameplay for UFC: Undisputed 2010 is good but it has it's problem and it can be frustrating and hard at time's and what I mean by hard at time's is this and if you do not go through the career getting that knock out punch in the first minute or so you will have a hell of a time trying to beat your opponent's in the career because if you go for a submission win you have to lock in the move with one of the analog stick's and spin the one of the analog sticks around in a clock wise circle or depending on what kind of move it is you might have to move it in counter clock wise to keep it locked in but that is almost impossible to do because the A.I is quite good and you are just better off in just going for the knock-out and other then those problem's with the A.I this game can be fun but it get's really old and repetitive over time because every time you would go for a tap out on the A.I and no matter how much you bound on that body part the A.I always manages to make you tap even when you are doing the thing that is suppose to get you out of the tap out it never does. The fighting isn't the only that got old and repetitive and the press conference with your fighter got old and boring with the same choice's in the conversation at the end of main event's and the same lame question's that are asked all the time in those press things and it just was plain boring after a while and became more about the knock out rather then the strategic sense of the submission tap out. So in short on the gameplay for this game is good but just plain boring and if you do not have a intimate knowledge of the the UFC universe you might be lost and simply put it is just plain good.
Multiplayer:
So now the on-line for UFC: Undisputed 2010 is ok and is pretty good you can have fun with the on-line if you are to on-line fighting game weather they are simulation or arcade and in on-line you can fight with a UFC regular or you can use your create-A-fighter to fight a on-line opponent and you can play in a local fight with a friend in your home. In the on-line you can create camp or join a camp on line and take on other camps around the world, and you can fight in your standard ranked match or quick match or even fight with you camp in ranked or un-ranked. So even though the on-line is and will be fun but their are connection issues with the server's from time to time and every once in a while you might go on-line with no problems for a couple of days maybe longer and then the server's will be down for about half a day or for the full day. So in short for the on-line for this game is and can be fun but with sever issues from time to time can be and will be a let down for anyone new to the series but not so much if you are a die hard fan of the series and fan of the UFC universe and so when the servers are working their is fun but and they are down not so much and the on-line is just plain decent.
Overall:
The overall point for this game is visuals are decently good, the audio is incredibly amazing, the game for the single player is decent, good but boring and will keep you busy for about 20 hours or so, the controls are bit clunky and the on-line is good but a mess when the servers are not working and can be fun when they are. So in short and point is that you can find this game for about $20 dollars or less right now and can be worth the pick up if you are interested in the playing this game and at $20 bucks it's worth it to check it out.
