UFC 2009 Undisputed for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

this game definitively has room for improvement. the first 10 fights are what i expected when i rented this game, it was fun but challenging and distinctively unique. you get multiple choices on what you do through out your career. but it would be nice to actually chose answers to your own interviews.

on the good side it's the most realistic fighting game out there including fight night 4. you get to customize your entire character to exactly the way you want it. you get to choose different fight styles and as you progress in the game you get to chose other fighters to help you learn new highly useful moves. training and sparing are also pretty easy to understand and learn how to make the most of. the graphics are awesome and the messages you get really draw you deep into the mma lifestyle.

on the downside there is just way to much button mashing required after 10 fights. the tutorial helps but there are about 30 pages worth of information to learn just so you can stop being tapped out. you need to hit multiple buttons just to do any damage.

once youve been tossed to the ground your fight is over period. it is just way to complicated to do anything on the ground other then get hammered to death. you have to do multiple things at a certain time just to get out of one position into another. it really makes you want to throw your controller across the room in frustration.

the main training in the game doesn't really have to much affect on your fight, the only real thing that effects the other fighter are sparring points. even with the little you do get there are about 30 different costly places to spend what you get.

i dont recommend buying the game until you've rented it this game isn't for all fight fans. i do like the way ufc is heading with it's game tho, they are defiantly on the right track for a real dominate game.

UFC Undisputed had me exited to get back in the ring and fight it out with my favorite fighter again. Sadly there is not much here to keep you interested for more than a few hours. Dont get me wrong, the fighting mechanics work pretty good but most of the time you have to resort to knocking your opponent out. The submission system is horrible in my opinon, they have you doing submissions by simply clicking the right joystick. There needs to be some kind of button prompt system added to the combat to keep you from getting confused about what buttons need to be hit.

The career isnt very in deep ether. You train your fighter by simply selecting the skills to be raised, thats it, no mini games. The sparring training is the only thing in career that is interactive. Plus once you start fighting real people in the career your wimpy character will get the poo kicked out of him.

Basically if you dont enjoy fighting your friends or with people over xbox live there is not much here to keep you from getting bored with this game fast.
