Game designer THQ’s been busy. With a new career mode, additional fighting styles and expanded controls, “Undisputed” plays like a gritty, macho chess match as fighters are capable of ducking, dodging and shifting their weight while grappling for advantageous position or the just-right angle for a knockout left hook.

This isn’t a game for button-mashers.

Fighters become realistically gassed when you strike too much, a strategy that also leaves you open for an easy counterattack. Miss with your third consecutive uppercut, and Anderson Silva will proceed to shatter your jaw with a merciless spinning back fist.

After catching a few initial lumps and playing the tutorial, I eventually learned the necessity of understanding fighters’ strengths and weaknesses, which are aplenty thanks to the more than 200 moves at your disposal.

Harder, better, faster, stronger — “UFC Undisputed 2010” lands a knockout blow in the arena of mixed martial arts fighting video games.

don’t be an ass Nosferatu – what kind of sport is MMA??? Fighting…Just like Madden is a football game, as well as a sports game. They aren’t saying it belongs in the same genre as Street Fighter or Tekken.

Anyway, I can’t wait for the new game. I loved UFC 09. Rictor, I didn’t like MMA either until I started to play this game. Somehow this game actually got me interested in the technical aspects of the sport.

Awesome news….except UFC: Undisputed is not a fighting game.

MMA is a sport.

Maybe now the game will actually get the respect it deserves. 09 should have been a rundown of fighting game or sports game awards from video game reviewers and companies. Great controls, great graphics, in depth training system, awesome tutorial, only thing really missing for me was a story mode so to say. Take your favorite real life superstar and play out his career fight for fight.

this is an example of if you take something pretty popular and make a proper game, it will sell. I was a little impressed with the demo, but I’m not a big UFC Fan.
