UFC Undisputed 2009

25 May, 2009, 10:00 am IST | Avinash Bali |

While most of you may be following the WWE religiously, only a handful may have actually heard of the UFC. For the uninitiated, allow me to elaborate. The UFC AKA the Ultimate Fighting Championship is a brutal sport that’s taking the world - or at least the Western world - by storm. The premise is pretty simple; shove two men in an octagon and watch them beat the crap out of each other with whatever martial arts style they seem fit - be it Kickboxing, Judo, Brazilian Jujutsu etc. Of course with such a blood thirsty sport it was only a matter of time before it made the transition to the world of video games.
__STARTQUOTE__UFC 2009 Undisputed is highly technical with a steep learning curve so don’t expect to jump right in and button mash your way to victory.__ENDQUOTE__This isn’t the first UFC game out there but it’s certainly the first that does this sport justice. The first – and this is the most important – thing you need to know about the game is that it is highly technical with a steep learning curve so don’t expect to jump right in and button mash your way to victory. There’s an extremely detailed tutorial at the start that I strongly suggest you undertake or you’ll find yourself hitting the mat very soon and very often.


The tutorial itself is pretty daunting and the information being thrown at you can seem a bit overwhelming which leads me to believe that the game has been strictly tailor made for UFC fans. WWE players will get their ass handed to them if they treat this game like another Smackdown VS. Raw title. The thing is UFC (both the sport and the game) can be broken up into two parts. You have your vertical fighting, that basically involves both players duking it out like a regular fighting game on two feet. And then you have the horizontal mechanic that kicks in as and when you take an opponent down and umm... mount him.

Would you buy it?

It's quite short and it doesn't have any sort of versus multiplayer but The Darkness II is a polished and brutal shooter you should definitely check out, especially if you like ripping dudes to shreds.
