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.

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!

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.

Great game for UFC fan's. I love UFC, so I loved the game. But where are the legends of MMA, where's Ken Shamrock,R Gracie, Tank Abbott, etc.

UFC Throwdown is the best fighting game ever.This game will let you create your own fighter.When a friend comes over with his created person on his memory card,put hismemory card in slot 2 and you can fight.I recommend this game.My name is Sean Gilbertson.ac

It's true, UFC Throwdown is very realistic, no question. The moves and actual fighting itself is realistic and almost exactly like the UFC matches you see in real life. Here's the problem: What's realistic doesn't always necessarily make for a great video game. Yes, in real life you can KO an opponent with a single punch two seconds into a fight. Yes, in real life you can put one submission hold on someone and take them out in five seconds flat. All that is true. But who wants to play a game like that? Not me. The matches are ridiculously short and end far too quickly. Again, it's realistic, but just not all that much fun to play. As a player, I don't necessarily want a totally unrealistic fighting game either, but why can't they create one that's somewhere in the middle? UFC Throwdown was a perfect opportunity to do just that, and they missed the boat. The UFC may be exciting from a spectator position, but video games are supposed to be exciting from an INTERACTIVE position, and this one, realistic or not, just isn't.

One, if not the most unfun games i've ever played. A fight lasts an average of 20 seconds and once it's over, you have to wait for the next fighter to load. There's a lot of downtime between fights. The actual fighting is cool but repetitive. I would recommend renting this one first.

This game has got it all! Arm bars, leg locks, sleeper holds, it even has the famous achillies tendon hold! When i first started to play, the graffics astounded me right off the bat! Then, after a few days of game time, I couldn't put the controler down! I was even late to work on several occasions because of this game being SO addictive! My recommendation, you better have strong willpower to pull yourself away!

This is a fantastic game for UFC and MMA fans in general. You can do your own version of some of the great UFC battles of all time, like the incredible Frank Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz fight or Jens Pulver vs. BJ Penn, or have some fantasy matchups you wish you could have seen, like Vitor Belfort vs Ortiz or Shamrock.

My only complaint is that knockouts can come a little fast if you are playing the computer, or if two beginners are playing. If two skilled and practiced players are going against each other, the attacks and counters can truly become almost a sort of chess match. Against the computer or someone new to the game, you can score a knockout in 10 to 20 seconds, against other skilled players, I've had fights actually go to decision.

Another great item is some of the signature moves the fighters have that you can aquire after a while.

For beginners who just get this game and want to develop a feel for it, I recommend selecting either Frank Shamrock or Tito Ortiz. They are the best in the game, and in my opinion the best in real life, and the easiest to learn with, particularly if you are trying to figure out how to put together combinations.

After reading most of the complaints on here, it seems like it mostly comes from video game fanboys who have no appreciation for reality fighting and the UFC. They seem upset that it isn't a clone of every other fighting game out there. Big deal! I can get the standard fighting game by selecting something else. I wanted this because it's realistic. You won't find your characters jumping ten feet into the air and launching balls of energy at their opponents. If you want that, go get the new Mortal Kombat or something.

This games cool. My friends cousin is in the game. (Pete William) The graphics are pretty good. The modes are better then the first one. But my compaint is the same as the first one. Matches end way to quickly. I want more of a stragetic sim game engine involved. Why don't ground battles last 10 minutes or longer? It still feels like a button masher game. The moves are hard to pull off. The create a character mode is way too shallow. The games cool for a while but lacks replay value unless your fighting another live person..
