Fun game to beat on people and use authentic moves but there are a couple things that will irritate the hell out of you.
Good:
There are a lot of moves and techniques.
There are a lot of fighters to chose from.
Career mode is fun to an extent.
There is an online mode.
Creating your own fighter.
Commentating is decent.
Fun to knock people out.
Cuts and blood are cool as well as swelling and redness on the body from punches and kicks.
Bad:
There are a couple flaws in the game that can get down right irratating such as:
- On advanced mode and up submission defense is almost impossible with some of the better fighters.
- When trying to learn new moves in career mode, some scenarios (like ground and pound moves) are flawed. you get 1 minute and start out on your feet. and have to land 3 clean punches several times to get your points. Other scenarios (like learning high kicks) give you 2 minutes and you are already in position. This makes it take 10 times as long to learn the ground and pound move.
-stats degrade over time fast. (not really so much of a bad idea)
- The reporter in career mode asks you to do something way too much and you find yourself saying no to her about 100 times in career mode.
- sparring gets old after a while in career mode. you can use auto mode but that will yield less upgrade points leading to you getting your ass kicked.
- I always seem to knock the computer out in the beginning on the 2nd round. Never made it to the 3rd round ever.
