Hi i just want to share some thoughts on the highly anticipated game UFC Undisputed 2009. I am a huge fan of ufc i have been watching ufc for around 5 years, and i actually do muay thai now, so i am not a hater of ufc
this is going to be the review of what i think of ufc undisputed.
I was really really excited about this game when it first had it previews of what the game was like. Once the demo was out i download it right away. I am going to state out the Pros and Cons about this game.
I will start out with the Pros
1.) Graphics This game has AMAZING GRAPHICS i mean the characters are SOO REAL. Rampage Jackson looks like himself lol Chuck liddel, GSP, Bj Penn all look like if they are real. The audience doesn't look bad either although not as detail as the fighter but still look decent with lots of effort put into it. 9/10
2.) Audio: WOW does this game feel like your actually watching ufc. The announcer Bruce Buffer is the same voice as you will expect in the real ufc, Joe rogan sounds exactly the same. Even the timing when they are announcing is exactly correct and follows order. 10/10
3.) Gameplay: Really good gameplay going on with the game. Tons of submission and lots of different way to play with tons of stragety. Feels like your actually in the ring trying to fight your way up. Triangles chokes. Rear nake chokes, arm bar are all avalible in this game. Depends on how you mount and what you press to do the submission.
4.) Up to 82 fighters with 2 fighter that will have to buy online if not bought from eb games and gamespot. You can make your own fighter, good carrer, online play and tons of stuff you can do.
Now it time for the Cons (Not here to bring down the game but to point out some real problems, a game is never perfect)
1.) Game design: Although the game should recieve at least an 8 there are still some problems with the game. First off the biggest problem is with some of the buttons. If anyone played fight night round 3, or seen fight night round 4 you will think ufc undisputed punching technique is a joke. Fight night games require to wind up punches on the anolog stick for a stronger punch. For ufc undisputed there is nothing simliar to how powerful your punch in going to be, a power punch is just foward on right anolog stick plus punch button. They should make it, the longer you hold the harder the punch. For example if you want to do a knock out hook hold foward on anolog and hold the punch botton longer. This technique should be the same with kicks. This problem make the gameplay a real dissapointment in this game.
2.) Replays: replays are not too bad but there should be more close up and put more feel to the game. When you knock a guy out the fighter will stand in front of the other knockout fighter without any emotions. He doesn't look like he happy or the KOed fighter doesn't look dissapointed. The winner looks as if the game just started LOL hello put some emotions here. After there will be a cutsence showing how happy he is but i think it should either play right away without the load or screw the cutscene and just make him look happy do some special move when he wins
3.) Gameplay: You never know when you get knocked out. There should some kind of indicator that you can't take any more punches or kicks. i don't mean we need a health bar, but always some kind of bar that shows ok you will not be able to take 3 more punches so move away from the fight, stall some more time before running back into the fight. This is a major disadvantage for most players WHY as you ask. reason is that you never know when you get knocked out, you can run into the game after 1 mins your down with 2 punches , or 1 punch really depends on how lucky you are. There should be an indicator after 2 strong punches, your down for it if you get another punch light or heavy, or If you get want to knock out the other player wind up your punch for a ko. SOrry but this part of the game really dissapoints me which makes me want to get this game when it a bit cheaper. Also they should of copy some of fight night round 4 physics move. Different shots different facial expressions. How the fighter falls etc.. if you saw trailers for fight night round 4 you will be so surprised.
Conclusion: Don't get me wrong this game is not bad at all i would give it a fair 8.5, reason why is i didn't think the put enough gameplay value into it, yes there is lots of submission but after submission put some interested parts into punches and kicks. You guys might think i am asking why to much. I don't think so why because if fight night round 4 is able to do such good powerups shots, knock out and use physics to rule the gameplay why not ufc undisputed. We all pay money for this game, here in canada 69.99 without tax, after tax is around 80 pretty expensive should i do expect something better. Well i hope lol when they come out with another ufc game they will put in some of these things for improvement. Comparing this game with other ufc games produced this one is a huge hit, the older ufc games are just plain garbage. This game is worth getting but i think it needs to cool off for a bit. People are just to hyped for this game. I will pick this game up when the price drops a bit at around 40 dollars will be a deal
This is my opinion
Feel free to put it any of your thought in this game anything welcome just want to see how people feel about this game
Thanks
