Have you ever wondered what might happen if you merged a boxing game with a wrestling game. Well those of you already familiar with the Lion's Den and the like know what you get. Obviously, so does Crave. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you
Ultimate Fighting Championship. It sounds really neat, but what is it? It is a no holds barred conglomeration of karate, boxing, judo, wrestling (the real kind), submission holds, and any other type of fighting that you can think of. Once you step into the fenced octagon, it's time to get it on.
In UFC mode, you pick a fighter from the field of almost two dozen and literally fight your way to the top. Once you finish UFC mode, then you can enter the Championship road. In this mode, you get to defend your newly acquired title. Of course, there is a Career mode (in which you can create your own fighter), Tournament mode, Exhibition mode, and Training mode.
UFC does not play like your normal 3D fighter. It is a mixture of different skilled fighting styles, not unrealistic button combos. Sure, there are combos involved, but it mainly relies on skill and timing. I really, really like the way the game plays. If there is any downfall to the gameplay, it is that the matches are very short. I mean like less than a minute short in some cases. That could be a good thing, but it mostly plays against you. If you are looking for long drawn-out fights, play Ready to Rumble. If you like short, sweet, and to the point (no, I'm not talking about myself, I'm not that short) then UFC is the perfect game.
