Not only has the sheer amount of moves almost doubled, the collision and environment detection and smoothness of transitions are really impressive and make the matches a joy to play. The match engine in UFC 3 will feel pretty familiar for those who have played either of the game’s predecessors, however as you play more and more you’ll start to notice how much they’ve actually improved. So how has UFC 3 fared? Is it worth getting or will 2010 be good enough to keep you happy until they try again? The thing with sports’ games is they need to go above and beyond the previous release for them to be worth purchasing, and for a lot of less hardcore sports fans this is a big deterrence for buying or repurchasing sports games.

Once the roster was released my excitement started to grow, with a whopping 150 or so fighters included across 7 weight classes (size does matter I guess), not to mention some pretty flashy trailers, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this game. Aside from the voting for the cover star, THQ’s lips were pretty tightly sealed for quite some time upon the details of the game, and to be honest I grew a bit skeptical with how much progress they had made with this release.

They captured the sport magnificently and with the improvements that 2010 made to the series it set the bar oh so high for UFC Undisputed 3. The 20 releases of UFC Undisputed were both really solid games to say the least. Your mileage may vary.Platforms: Xbox 360 (Reviewed), Playstation 3, UFC Undisputed 3 gets a 7/10 for me, but keep in mind I’m not an MMA fan. I think to truly love it though, you’d probably need to have an existing interest in MMA.

There’s something to like here for anyone who enjoys fighting games, to be sure. But I can’t see it holding my interest for too long.

Overall, I do enjoy the game and it’ll likely see some play when I have people over and they want to play something multiplayer. Regardless, having this big-ass graphic show up on the screen and having to chase or escape an icon really takes you out of the game, particularly when the fighting itself seems to strive for realism. And they do have some nice details with the size of the icons and the meters reacting according to each fighter’s condition. Maybe some MMA guy conferred with THQ and told them that this was the perfect visual metaphor for trying to cinch in a submission hold. All in all, it was pretty cool, I have to say. Not bad for a kid from New Glasgow with spray paint in his hand and a gleam in his eye. On commentary, Joe Rogan talked about what an awesome fighter Gordie is.

Gord choked him out with a guillotine in the second round to take the win. Then Gord’s career took an incredible upswing as a result of an impromptu match against his first opponent whose name I recognized – Matt Hughes, a Hall of Famer with the record for the most wins in UFC. Over a few hours, I took Gord through his first fights while training with different camps to learn and perfect new moves, and, naturally, trying to earn sponsorships. The game has an odd selection of call names though, so I settled on having the announcer call him Gerard. I was gobsmacked to see New Glasgow, Nova Scotia as one of the potential home towns, so I abandoned my plans to create Ronnie Dobbs (probably some swears at that link) and instead made my good friend and occasional co-conspirator, Gordie.
