Preview – UFC 2009: Undisputed (Xbox 360)
Halfway between a Fight Night and the wrestling game Smackdown VS Raw, UFC 2009: Undisputed will delight many fans as violent and realistic as it. The Ultimate Fighting Championship was born about fifteen years ago in order to combine wrestlers in a ring-shaped cage with irrespective of their martial art. In a boundless brutality, since most fights end in KO, the show is similar to the circus from the Roman period which attracts an impressive number of subscriptions to channels broadcasting the evening. If at the beginning of its history, UFC events were held in a particularly tough tournament for boxers today, it is a series of duels, much closer to a boxing gala. We have the opportunity to judge the care taken in this adaptation, tracing to his camera angles on television broadcasts. But impossible to go any further without explaining our points
We cannot say enough, UFC 2009: Undisputed is a loyalty that defies all competition in the championship which it was based. There are no fewer than six disciplines represented by more than 80 combatants. The standing part is structured as a general (shades are to be considered by the chosen martial art) around punches, kicks, blows and the special drink. Each punch can be worn on the head or on the abdomen.
Accordingly, it is possible to ward off the blows with a high or low custody. Each shot that gives a little dressed advantage should be exploited to gain an advantage over his opponent. Joystick in hand, we found the phases of combat standing quite stiff. However, the joy of placing a powerful shot parried not enough to make us forget the heavy movement of some boxers, if not all, once the battle started and endurance fighters tested.
Having started the endurance bar of his opponent (which you can choose whether to display on the screen as you want more immersion or precision), he will be less sharp in its reactions. You can launch your fighter to the burden and put on the ground. When the maneuver is successful, a new phase of the fight begins. Whatever the position (crouched over him, standing…), it is still possible to beat him thrust in the ribs or face. Available to those who are tired of this one, you can use the right analog stick to change position and try a submission. Key arm, choking, various cuts, the list of celebration is especially long. Caution, however, without a minimum time of practice, this very high level phase of play is nothing spectacular property. The strokes are slow and transitions between postures rather painful. With a little bottle, things change radically. After a few parties, we analyze what better time to change position or harass another with alternating blows to the face and ribs. And if both players have a little experience, it is possible to see the turning of the situation on the ground most beautiful effect.
With this first contact with UFC 2009: Undisputed, it makes us wanting more and more. The final version should allow us to create our own champion by dint of varied training sessions in order to measure with the stars of the discipline. In both technical and completion, the title by THQ also benefits from a setting of great beauty. Comments ignited, reactivates crowd, lovely ladies to announce the times and visual effects of all kinds that puts us in appetite. With a gameplay deep enough to allow for an interesting progression curve for the players to adopt, UFC 2009: Undisputed is on course to become a serious competitor of the reference Fight Night Round 3.
