Let face it boxing is boring and slow these days, full of clinching and very few fighters being entertaining as the boxers of old. Wrestling is fake and not very entertaining as they regurgitate the same old story lines they have done over the last 20 or so years. If you want to see two grown men beating the snot out of each other then there is no better place than the UFC, home to many great fighters such as Frank Mir, Lyoto Machida, Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre and many others to boot.
Previously we have seen quite a few UFC games on various systems, although none of these have been all that great. The last one I can remember playing was the very first UFC game on the Dreamcast, and it was a bit shit to say the least. It just didn't capture what fans of the UFC expected to see, sure there were some nice touches but it was average at best. I must admit I was quite excited to see what a new UFC game would look like, and hoped that the playability would be at a level that we gamers / MMA fans expected to see..."
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.

"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!
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.
