UFC 2
SCORE: 50
I will say something right out of the gate. I do not like the idea of women fighters. I am not into women beating on themselves. I can not call her a lady when she is ruthlessly beating up another woman. UFC 2 has female characters beating up other female characters. I find it gross, disgusting, and absolutely appalling.
UFC was not a perfect game. It was certainly way better than UFC 2. EA Sports totally messed up the formula. The stamina bar is too weak, and opponents can absorb a ton of damage. I would finally stun an opponent and not have enough stamina to do anything about it. None of the matches in UFC 2 felt like real matches with real people.
At the start of the career we can not see how we are doing on the points card. I counted and had way more strikes than my computer opponent. Somehow he would win. This makes UFC 2 feel cheap, and broken. UFC 2 is way too heavy on take downs and submissions. I found it nearly impossible to win in the stand up game. UFC 2 is way too hard.
Blood flows freely in UFC 2. Do not expect realism here because it is easy to draw blood in this ultra violent video game. The songs have taken a nose dive as well. Gone is the one Christian song. It is replaced with profanity laced songs. The lag in the attacks led to doing the same move twice in a row. Which was even worse on the stamina. Things fell apart when your opponent backs off and lets you whiff at him twice in a row.
There are too many boring and lame fighters in UFC 2. We have to block all the time, guessing between high and low. UFC 2 is way too online heavy. I wish there was more to do offline. Since there is not I value UFC 2 at five dollars. I am thankful Family Friendly Gaming purchased a copy of UFC 2 for this review. EA Sports was not going to give us a copy since we would not promise an ultra high review score.
