5.0 out of 5 stars UFC FIGHTING - AS REAL AS IT GETS, July 6, 2002

This review is from: UFC: Throwdown (Video Game)

I think this game is great for any UFC or MMA fan. For those who want a fighting game like Tekken or DOA you might be disapointed. This is a reality based fighting game. That means realistic moves and combos. No power ups or weapons. I found that the most fun is playing against other UFC fans. They have a lot of current and legendary UFC fighters but I just have one question about the game. WHERE'S RANDY CONTURE? I don't see how the could have made this game without him. Overall its fun to step into the octagon. At least rent it, its worth a look.

3.0 out of 5 stars You decide, September 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: UFC: Throwdown (Video Game)

UFC Throwdown is a decent game. Not really much more to say than that. You either like it or hate it. Graphically, it's pretty basic and sometimes during truly intense match-ups, choppy. Realism is very good. Length of the average match, about 20 seconds. Again, you should rent this if anything else first because I'm sorry but no one deserves a ($) hole in their wallet. Have fun and Happy Gaming!

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistic Fighting, May 10, 2003

This review is from: UFC: Throwdown (Video Game)

This is my favorite fighting game I have played. It combines striking with wrestling, letting you beat an opponent if you are skilled enough, even when you are about to get knocked out. Every fighter has his own patented moves and style, adding to the diversity of the game. My friends and I never get tired of the bone crunching hits and submissions. Unlocking new moves and fighters keeps things interesting while playing solo. If you want the most realistic way of beating people - without actually doing it, get UFC throwdown.
