Why UFC Undisputed 2010 Isn’t Just Another Sports Iteration

When THQ released UFC 2009 Undisputed last May it forever changed the world of mixed martial arts video games. The surge in popularity of the UFC finally had a quality game to go alongside it. This year the folks at Yuke's Media Creations have strived to improve upon and add to the strengths of last year's breakout hit. So far, from what we've seen, the game appears to have fixed many issues, such as rigid animations, spotty hit detection, and over complicated controls, as well as adding several new features, namely tournaments, online camps, and expanded career options, that will give Undisputed 2010 staying power. Being only the second installment in the young UFC gaming franchise, 2010 had a lot to improve, and seems to be on the right track to separate itself from yearly sports iterations that show marginal improvement, like say...Madden.

I'm kinda tempted to try the demo, though I'm not a UFC fan myself..

is pretty fun. I don't see a huge difference from UFC undisputed 2009 though. animations in general are better though, and the load times have been reduced considerably.

Try it out though, the game's pretty fun to just play around with, and if you really get into it, it can be very complex. Not quite my cup of tea though, Pretty much all I did in the demo was pick Lyoto Machida and headkick spammed Shogun Rua, Rashad Evans, and Rampage Jackson.

it's just a good fighting game in general, whether you watch the fights on Tv or not. although, you'll have to invest more time with the tutorials learning some basic strategy.

I'm curious to see how much of an improvement it is on last year. Not so much with the fighting, but with the career mode.
