UfC throwdown; nothing to write home about.
There are many characters to choose from and almost as many fighting styles. Although I only have experience with choosing pit fighter I am not sure how much the different styles effect your customizable move list but you will definitely see a difference between submission VS wrestling.
I purchased this game for the purpose of having this as a quick pick me up with friends and beer. The 8 man tournament possible warrants this purchase. Unfortunately the game lacks substance. The music is horrible and I am not one to even mention the music. Sounds effects are present but somewhat lacking. The crowd sound effect is almost, if not worse then the music (Apes chanting???).
The blood doesn’t stay on the mat and no damage to your opponent is my major gripe. Don’t get me started on why they would speed up the in game clock???
The fighting mechanics consist of Left and right punch buttons and left and right kick buttons. I always feel satisfied after ground and pounding an opponent to victory but the fighting is still rather simple and not much else goes on.
So with all this negativity, it looks like I foolishly wasted $30 dollars to get this mediocre game shipped to me, especially already knowing that it lacked.
The only way you will get enjoyment out of this is by doing the tournament with friends. I haven’t completed legend mode(defend the belt 7 times) but after that I think it will collect dust.
I can’t recommend this game even if you are a big UFC fan like myself. We will have to wait for a new version of UFC to come out.
