The Checkpoint looks at why the UFC game or any other MMA game will ultimately fail to capture the true essence of an MMA fight which will ultimately make the game a failure.
MMA is one of the most intense and exciting sports to watch, but notoriously violent. For those not up to the intense dedication and training that learning MMA take, PS3 and Xbox offer a number of games which are the next best thing.

I did not/ do not understand why so many people liked blur i thought it was not very good as for the others i cant say anything. though i was hoping MAG would of been on the list was playing it last night nice to see there is still a community playing the game after so long and despite its lack of reception!
I loved blur. It had loads to do on the single player, and a good online system. The courses were varied with locations a little different to most racers. Also to top it all off it was very pretty with laser beams and disco light streaks chasing after people... That and it allowed me to drive a rat look beetle :)
I hope that helps you to understand at least why some people may have liked it.
Agreed. Blur was awful. Truly a terrible game. If was nowhere near the developer's previous efforts on quality nor gameplay.
If anything BLUR was over-rated. Big Time. It was really messy looking, and totally non-fun to play.
I had a VERY different opinion of Blur. I thought it was an excellent game. Had lots of fun, and wouldn't mind a sequel later this gen or next.
Blur was good. The point is it was hard, some people does not have the guts, patience or skill to keep up. It was a Bizarre game, you have to be skilled
Really? So that's why I absolutely LOVED PGR3 is it? Blur was nowhere near the class of PGR3 and that is why it failed for me. The cars felt weird, the tracks looked cartoony, the over bright neon mess of pick ups were ill considered and immersion ruining. It was TOO arcade for it's own good.
Well but Blur never tried to be a Racing Sim, it was like a Mario Kart with a nice graphic engine a more "not so kart" handling.
well maybe it SHOULD have tried to be more, it's poor reception showed it didn't please many people but I'm happy if you got fun out of it. I believe they could have done a lot better based on their past games.
THQ has lost one of its best franchises. Heres a look back at UFC Undisputed!
EA needs to be up in court on anti competitive charges, this being another in a long line of sh*t they pull. The worst though is the crap they pull with football, I mean making sure no one else can make a deal with the clubs is complete BS.
All I have to say is I called it & it is for the better, can't wait to play it !!!
For the DC was great @ the time.
I`m not keep my hopes up for UFC, but I am keeping a eye out for it.
Has any game captured the "true essence" of anything?
It looks too slow, bland graphics now and just a re-ash of the wwe engine it seems. A shame, cause when they 1st showed this off at the ps3 press conference room last year it was smoking hot. Now it has clearly become a reality the ps3 and xbox 360 just can't compete with PC graphics, let alone extend past them.
