The brave may wish to chance their luck online. The offline mode also allows players to set up their own fight cards and tournaments. The offline modes include a practice session, tutorials and a video training manual for perfecting your technique. Custom Fight Now allows players to fine-tune their UFC fight. Knockout Mode is more of a traditional fast-paced arcade-inspired fight. Stand and bang has players fighting using just punches and kicks - no gripping or groundwork. Fight Now allows players to pick their fighters and venue for a standard UFC bout. The mode's slow pace may frustrate veterans- even if there have been some changes.Īs well as the solo career there are some other modes that can also be enjoyed solo or with local multiplayer. The career mode does a good job of introducing the multitude of moves and strikes to new players. The sense of satisfaction, however, when you return a blocked punch with a devastating blow, should not be understated. There's split lips and bloodied eyes all around for most of the bouts. UFC is a messy sport, with opponents getting absolutely pounded. Fair play to EA Sports, though, for tackling the wrestling aspect of UFC and what must be a devilishly difficult bit to translate into meaningful gameplay. I found punching and kicking to be pretty easy to pick up, but the ground game is still a bit tricky for me. The game also uses button holds for different strikes. The fighting has been refined since last time, of note is the clinch which is now instigated as a follow-up from a punch. Sadly, it's been a while since I played the last game and I was forced to watch my poor avatar get pummelled for a couple of hours until the combos were etched into my mind. The game requires careful timing and intimate knowledge of the button combos, especially the blocks. If you go in guns blazing, the bar is going to lower make any strikes too weak to matter. The use of a rapidly reducing stamina bar discourages the span hits that many players employ whilst learning the ropes. As I was playing the game was still adding fighters so those numbers may change.Īs with previous games in the series, UFC 4is a rather complex affair. There are some changes from UFC 3, with 58 fighters having been removed. The game features 232 from the Woman's Strawweight all the way to Heavyweight. In fact, UFC 4 streamlines the game, removing the Ultimate Team mode that didn't make much sense in the game, anyway. This fourth entry in EA's brutal mixed martial arts UFC licenced franchise is more about refining the gameplay than offering anything new.
