UFC Undisputed 3 Review
18.05.12
The Ultimate Fighting Championship is the world’s largest Mixed Martial Arts promotion company in the world and UFC Undisputed 3 features a roster of 150 fully licensed fighters with the addition of new bantamweight and featherweight fighters in this year’s iteration. As well as the well-known rules of the UFC – Undisputed 3 comes complete with PRIDE options in-game to relive the intense combat action of the PRIDE Fighting Championships. PRIDE for those unfamiliar is a way more brutal and aggressive combat fight than UFC. THQ have truly raised the bar for the fighting genre and this game will take some beating, which is of course if it doesn’t beat you first! Career Mode is quite a tough challenge.
Mixed martial arts is a very full on aggressive contact combat sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques either standing or on the ground. These can include boxing, wrestling, kickboxing, taekwondo, karate, judo and many other fighting styles with the game taking on the sport in the form of a highly charged UFC Televised Event with you as the star of the show. If you’re new to the series, the amount of menus and features to browse through before you get to have your first fight can seem a little intimidating, but the best plan of action is to follow through the games tutorial setting which will allow you to get more comfortable with the fighting controls. Button mashing any old way is a good tactic, but really learning how to fight and defend for yourself will reward you in the long run – learn the skills of the in-game Mixed Martial Arts and you’ll be fighting your way to the top in no time… well it’s not quite as easy as it may sound, but persistence and quick responses on the controls certainly help.
