Console games review
Released a few days ago, and coming from practically nowhere, UFC 2009 Undisputed is the latest fighting game edited by THQ and developed by the team at Yuke's Media Creation. These are the same people the provided us with Smackdown Vs Raw 2009, one of the rare wrestling games that managed to capture our attention. We can only hope that this latest release is at a similar standard, but it is difficult to have high expectations from what we have seen.
Yet another fighting game released on the Xbox 360, which is currently not lacking for choice. The same can actually be said for the PS3, with the next-gen consoles seemingly being the refuge for games of this genre over the last few months with releases like Street Fighter 4, WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2009and the latest, Soulcalibur 4. Simply, it seems that all the games being released are following the same storyline, resulting in fierce competition on the shelves for the same kinds of game under different names.
So when we saw arrive, without really expecting it, a new license based on the Ultimate Fighting Championship, we wrongly believed that things weren’t going to be good. To put things into perspective, the last time we saw a real feet-hand fighting game like this dates to the early 1990's with Panza Kick Boxing. This is pretty much an eternity in the video game world, but in the end, things weren’t as bad as what we were expecting...
