  • Summary: UFC Undisputed 2010 is the only mixed martial arts (MMA) videogame this year that delivers the action, intensity and prestige of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Players navigate a roster of more than 100 prolific UFC fighters, each fully rendered to convey a photorealistic appearance. Prominent UFC personalities, including commentators Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg, veteran voice of the Octagon Bruce Buffer, the Octagon Girls, referees, trainers and more, return to showcase an authentic and memorable UFC videogame experience. Enhanced combat offers players a new Sway System with full upper body and head movement that allows for the dodging of attacks. On the ground, a new Posture System enables players to deliver stronger, fight-ending strikes from every position. In addition, players manage Octagon control with new strikes, submissions, transitions and cage positions, as well as experience added realism with the introduction of Southpaw stance. Players also enjoy customizable freedom with created fighters by combining moves from numerous MMA disciplines, including new moves taken from Sambo, Karate and Greco-Roman Wrestling, to become true mixed martial artists.

    This is easily one of the finest sport recreations we've seen, as it nails the experience. The online fight camps and Create-a-Fighter modes will keep you busy well through the next several pay-per-view events, and the presentation is second-to-none.
  2. While there will certainly be debate on the online license change (when it eventually works), there is no doubt that UFC 2010 is a vast improvement over its predecessor.
  3. Overall, UFC Undisputed 2010 should please fans of the 2009 version of the game, as well as those who enjoy fighting games that sit at the sim end of the spectrum.
  4. UFC Undisputed has raised the bar in the cage itself but has really let itself down with a career mode that offers very little.

  1. This game improves on ufc 2009 to create a great MMA game. And this is easily the most satisfying mma game ever created. If you are a fan of devastating Ko's and brutal submissions do not thinks twice to pick this game up. Expand
  2. I really enjoyed this game. It does have a big learning curve but once you get over that, the game becomes really fun. The ground game is very enjoyable once you get the hang of it. However the clinch system could use some improvements. The career mode is repetitive and not too enjoyable and the online is so laggy it becomes unplayable. The game really shines once you sit down with a friend and play against each other and it is the most fun I've had playing a fighting game. Expand

    Controls are just as awkward and needlessly complex as the last one. Shining the controller during submissions provides little visual and no tactile feedback. Animations are great during cutscenes but stiff and robotic during gameplay. Character models look like cartoons. Rendering and lighting do a good job of matching a live broadcast overall, but characters look flat and very "gen 2" upon closer scrutiny. AI cheats - any heavyweight match can be won on Expert by spamming punches with Brock Lesnar. Lots of new content though. Single player experience is big, but a little boring. PS3 gets a bit more love with extra fighters and videos. It might be the best UFC game ever, but considering it's limited competition, that's not saying much. Expand

    Terrible new clinch system, terrible new submission system, terrible new takedown system, most fights turn into contests to see who can sway longer, repetitive career mode...everything that this game changes from the original is changed for the worst, and everything that was left the same is stale.
