UFC Undisputed 3 is the best mixed martial arts game available today. Released on Valentine’s Day this year, the game is for anyone who loves the UFC. It features an insane roster of fighters, including everyone from BJ Penn and GSP to Jon Jones and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
This time around, THQ has really stepped up their game—featuring a laundry list of improvements, including a new submission system, mo-capping of fighters for more realistic moves, a redesigned striking and stamina system and a complete game featuring the PRIDE Mode that includes the best of PRIDE fighters, rings and rules!
The create-a-player is extremely in-depth and really fun to get yourself right in the Octagon. I caught a co-worker playing the game, and I was legitimately rooting for the AI Urijah Faber to win because I didn’t want to to see him get beat. Luckily, AI Urijah was able to beat my co-worker down.
Some other fun things your create-a-character can do is gain sponsorships from some of the best MMA brands, and through career mode you can unlock real-life footage from the history of MMA and the UFC.
The game is so complex that that’s one of its limitations. There is so much stuff to do that the menu system starts to get repetitive and annoying, almost like waiting for Facebook fights to start.
On the other hand—other positives you can’t miss are the multiplier mode, where you can play both 1:1 locally. If you are really feeling up to world domination, you could expand to online multiplayer and battle to become the greatest UFC fighter in the world—in video games.
One question remains—I did find Brittney Palmer in the game, but I’m still on the lookout for Kenda Perez.
If you are a UFC fan, this is the game for you. Pick it up now—it’s on Xbox and PS3. Also look out for more DLC in the future. I give it a solid 4 Westies.
