The face buttons punch and kick, there are height modifiers to get down, reversal systems for both the ground and the standup game, and so much more. If you're not pro, you're in for a long haul. If you're a seasoned vet, you'll just need to get the new sways, moves, and ability to press folks up against the cage before you're right at home in the Octagon. For better or worse, UFC Undisputed 2010 keeps the same complicated control scheme from last year. Still, getting to that fun isn't going to be super-easy for everyone. You get the victory celebration in the ring, the ref raises you hand, and you get to see your victory again and again in instant replay form. For me, being evenly matched in a fight, covered in blood, and pulling off that one sick punch to lay out an opponent – there are few things better in the game. There's no doubt that when things are clicking, UFC Undisputed 2010 is fun. Sounds rad, right? For millions of fans, it is, and living out the action on their favorite videogame console is a no brainer. Outside of the fingerless gloves, there are no pads. If you want to win in the UFC, you have to be able to knock your opponent out, get him to submit, or win via the judge's scorecard.
Here, competitors from all sorts of fighting disciplines – wrestling, boxing, jiu jitsu, and so on – come together to test their skills in the Octagon, an eight-sided mat surrounded by chain-link walls.
UFC is of course Ultimate Fighting Championship, the premier mixed martial arts organization in the world. Our+video+review+pulls+no+punches.+Click+here. Is it the knockout fans were hoping for? No. I started hearing my fighter say the same things in interviews, the lady kept e-mailing me every frickin' week, and Joe Rogan's commentary was the same again and again. However, over the course of the hours I poured into UFC Undisputed 2010, the seams began to show and the presentation actually began to annoy me a bit. The game seemed like it had improved on the one thing the last version was missing – the UFC presentation that makes it feel like you're watching the sport you love. I got to pick my fighter's interview responses in career mode, I had a sexy UFC lady wanting to stop by and film my workout, and Joe Rogan was remembering what had happened in my last fight and was talking about it. When I turned on UFC Undisputed 2010 for the first time, I thought I was hooked.
