Heres my first review so bare with me and provide some input to better it.
I was Pretty pumped up for this one as I thought the first UFC game was Simply Amazing. So lets get into the break down of the game.
Graphics 9.5/10
Just as I expected. Amazing. Great Detail on the fighters, the ring, and watching the load screens is like watching the fight live. Although the menus could use a little dressing up, but they were a lot easier to navigate then the first games.
Gameplay 10/10
The gameplay itself is just about the same, although the ground grapple seems to be slightly harder in this one. They also added the submission transition which is pretty sweet and a nice add, as well as a new sway system that makes the swaying and dodging more realistic.
The Career Mode was very good in the First one and the second came even harder here. This is my favorite part of the game. They added WAY more fighter customization including new fight styles, taunts, voice, much better tattoos (which kinda sucked on the first one) and customizable shirts and hats. They also, added after fight interviews, you have the option to fight amateur fights before turning pro and once you turn pro you do not jump straight into the UFC you have to prove yourself in the WFC. The Career mode has been lengthened to 12 years instead of 7 years, although nobody retires so you end up fighting 50 year old guys. Also, your stats decline if you dont improve them over time which I thought was a nice little twist. Once you win a title and defend it a few times you will have the option to have a champion vs champion fight ( which is an achievement as well) after winning this fight you have the option to move up a weight class.
They have added more game modes to keep this one fresh longer including Title mode, Title Defense mode, Event mode, and a few more.
Sounds 10/10
Pretty much the same as last year with the addition of your chosen voice in the fight intros and after fight interviews.
Overall Rating 9.8/10
I was wondering how they would make this one better and wasnt sure if they could, but i was pleasantly surprised on how not only did they improve it they blew last years away. They added and improved areas that need and left alone for the most part the fighting part which was top notch last year. Id recommend if your into fighting to pick this up for sure, by far the best fighter game I have ever played. Hats off to THQ and Yukes on this one.
Good review. I also enjoyed the game, although I think the Y key on your keyboard isn’t working.
Say what??
Half the spaces where it should say “they” it says “the”.
This is actually a pretty decent review. Good job there, Array.
