UFC Xbox 360 demo

[StardogChampion]

Just released.

Seems pretty fun. They react well to the hits and you can lose/win the fight in one punch...

The one time I really wish i had a console is for this game. The trailer for this game looked incredible but I highly doubt the game actually looks that good, or has animations that fluid.

If the game was truly awesome, they'd have a cheat code that would allow you to play as Fedor Emelianenko, the greatest MMA fighter ever.

 

[Dog--]

A friend of mine said it was awesome, but he's not a big gamer and his favourites are Halo and COD so I don't know if his opinion matters. Might just be one of those games that appeal to mainstream people.

I got an advanced copy of this demo last week. Basically I've been playing it every day since then. The game is pretty incredible. I'm also a hardcore MMA fan so that probably helps out some. The controls at first seem extremely complicated. Completing the tutorial took about 20 minutes. After about an hour or so I think I got them down pretty good.

The game is best played with a buddy. Me and friend(Who Never watches MMA or the UFC)played two hours straight and had a blast. So it seems like it could even attract the most casual of fans. Even though this is just a demo and there were only 2 fighters its still a lot of fun to play. Looking forward to the full version coming out May 19th.

Been playing this demo a lot since the release, it's hand down the best UFC game since the old UFC for the Sega Dreamcast.

However, I do have one complaint, it's far too easy to get KOs, even on the hardest difficulty, I have no problem KOing my opponent.

Let's face it, it's quite rare for a KO victory in the UFC, so they definitely need to tweak that down.

Now I'm just waiting for the demo of Fight Night Round 4 to come out mid-May

it's pretty fun. solid outing for a company's first attempt at a UFC game, i imagine that the next installment will be much better though, so i probably won't buy this one.

Downloading the demo at an average speed of about 15kB/s. WTF.

From what I hear it's shit, and from the gameplay I saw online it looks like they don't react to any of your hits unless it's a knockdown one

Are you trolling? I have never played a proper(as in real-life) fighting game that has more feel to the punches.

It truly feels like you're punching the guy to pieces, and it shows too, bruising, blood etc.

If people have told you it's shit, it's doubtlessly because they've had trouble getting around the realistic(hence complicated) control scheme.

the realistic(hence complicated) control scheme.

You're saying complicated button combinations are a realistic way of fighting? :upstare:

More realistic than "press A to attack, press B to block".

Agreed, with MMA there's so many different ways to attack/counter/defend your opponent.

Do a lot of fights end with arm bars/leg locks/ rear naked chokes?

Quite a lot, it all depends on the CPU opponnent, Lidell seems to(as the NPC) focus a lot more on kicking and fighting standing up, whereas when I've played as Lidell vs Shogun Rua, Rua always tries to get me down to the ground to wear me out and get a submission from me.

Also, if you rely simply on mashing the A, B, X, Y buttons, you will get your ass kicked, you need to know how to defend against grapples, takedowns, not to mention stuff like kicking low, kicking high etc.

UFC on the dreamcast was awesome, played it loads with my brother, very tactical fighter. hope this is as good.

 

[Uriel]

Still want a cheat that allows you to play Fedor or fight him as a boss and unlock him.

Game rocks. I love MMA, and I can't believe how deep this is. Ground work is hard as balls, but it should be. Shogun feels like Shogun and Chuck feels like Chuck. Wish it wasn't so damn hard to go all 3 rounds. First thing i'm doing is creating Fedor in CAF.

Yeah, it's unrealistic how often KOs happen, even on the easiest(or hardest) difficulty.
