Loot Ninja's Demo Impressions for UFC 2009: Undisputed

Loot Ninja writes:

"Mixed Martial Arts has taken over the sport of fighting. It has surpassed boxing as far as fan interest is concerned. Now that MMA has assumed its seat on the throne, it is time for a great video game to come out. Boxing has Fight Night. UFC now has Undisputed. The demo was just released. This game has to start from scratch and has to find a way to incorporate all of the nuances into the science that is MMA. UFC 2009: Undisputed has a move list that will make Street Fighter 4 blush."

I’ve been playing the demo a ton since yesterday. This could be by favorite “real” fighting game (meaning a replication of a real life event). It’ll be a very tough pick for fighting game of the year for 2009.

cant wait to play full version.

Yeah the amount of fighters in this game is amazing. Even with just Liddell and Shogun in the demo, each one really has a different feel, just like their real life fighting styles.

Should be easy for this game to rock their competition when WWE/WWF has sucked at life since N64 days.

And putting someone in a real naked choke is always better than throwing them through a table :)

The graphics are probably the best I've seen in a sports game. I'm downloading it in a few to test out the controls. So far, though, it sounds and looks amazing. As an MMA fan, I'm looking forward to this.

greyishfox5630d ago

it def looks pretty sharp, DLing now as well.

nycredude5630d ago

Really, really fun game and very technical. The controls are pretty intuitive. Graphics aren't the best but good enough for this type of game. The only gripe I have with the demo is the hit detection needs some work.

drunkpandas5630d ago

I think the graphics are very good, as do many people posting comments on screenshots and videos for the game. What about it do you think isn't very good?

iiprotocolii5630d ago

It's probably the nicest looking game I've seen with regards to the sports genre. The models are excellent, the textures are great... everything about it feels solid. Just played it and I'm diggin' the controls.

Five Underrated Games That Should Have Gotten More Love

MouseEatsCat writes:

"Game development is a slow, sluggish process. But when a game is made, most of the time it’s made with love and care and a lot of effort. So it’s not nice to see good games go by almost unnoticed. I’ve decided to compile a list of the five best fairly recent underrated games that went unnoticed when released."

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!

Kurt Russell4237d ago

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.

OOG4237d ago

agreed blur was awesome

EbeneezerGoode4237d ago

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.

Hicken4237d ago

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.

FaSCoRP4237d ago

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

EbeneezerGoode4237d ago

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.

FaSCoRP4235d ago

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.

EbeneezerGoode4235d ago

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.

I hope EA does not get the exclusive license renewal for Madden.

Dark_Overlord4481d ago

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.

TrueGaming4481d ago

All I have to say is I called it & it is for the better, can't wait to play it !!!
