"Real" Fighting

If you like real fighting, with blood on your hands, knees, teeth, fists, and feet, then you will love this game. Intended to be a realistic fighting game, you are in a ring with a competitor, and you fight until someone basically yells "Uncle" It's not a flashy game, costumes are all similiar to each other. The underground fighting world has been uncovered in this truely realistic fighting game. UFC takes more than just button mashing, you must know when to attack and when to withdrawel. Different fighters have different styles. From karate to wrestling, each player has their own strengths and weaknesses. Unusual must have for the Sega Dreamcast.

This game ROCKS! The best control - Moves - Graphics - Action At first I though this game would be a cheesy WWF rip off....but it's not! It takes skill and a lust for blood! IF you love UFC the show you will love UFC the game.

I played this game at the E3 show earlier this year and it rocks. It has all of the great fighters of UFC (22 of them in total) and the control is totally amazing. I'm a fighting fanatic and I love UFC, and to tell you the truth, Crave has really outdone themselves this time, this game is about as perfect as you can get to a true real fighting game. I must of played this game 30 times and a fight can last from 10 seconds up to 10 minutes, it's AWESOME! It's a must have for all UFC and fighting fans around the world.

Amazing game...a must have for any DC owner

This is a MUST have for anyone with any interest in fighting games. I am an avid gamer and fan of the fighting genre (i have pretty much everything - from import tekken tag to marvel vs capcom 2), and I must say, in many ways Crave's UFC actually surpasses them all.

The textures on this game are just amazing, and it is incredible how much these polygonal fighters resemble their real-life counterparts. In particular, the graphical detail is astounding, with authentic tatoos, facial and body hair, and even uniforms recreated perfectly.

The gameplay itself is excellent, with an ebb and flow, lock and escape, almost chess-like system of play that is true to the concepts of real submission fighting. Easy to get into for first timers, but with TONS of depth for those hardcore players who will take the time to master the game.

I can't tell you how impressed I am with this game, but seeing as how first rate the developers are (with previous developement experience in such games as tekken), I shouldn't have been surprised. The only thing I could possibly suggest for them to do better is to make the create-a-fighter mode more in-depth with the next outing (so we can create some of our old favorites!). Nevertheless, a very minor quibble for a game that does just about everything else right.

A MUST HAVE purchase for the Dreamcast. I GUARANTEE you will not be disappointed.

I recently played the demo for this game that was offered through the official Dreamcast Magazine and I must say that I was very very impressed. Although there were only two playable characters they were displayed in the clearest most detailed fashion that I have ever seen in a fighter and it blows away the likes of Street Fighter and its many clones. What stands out about Ultimate Fighting is the realism. You wont see fireballs or characters executing triple half gainer flips 100 ft in the air and sticking the landing on their opponents head. What you will see though is fists and feet inflicting mind numbing punishment on the computer generated fighters (blood and sweat included). This game is vicious to say the least with some of the best fighting sound effects I have ever heard. They may not sound realistic but they definitely can emphasize the fact that someone has been given a one way ticket to whoopa**ville. The game is a lot more than just pushing the buttons as fast as possible to unleash the most # of punches and kicks within a designated time period. It involves strategy, knowing when or when not to attack, and when to hide in a corner and pray that your opponent leaves some of your teeth in your head. Although there is plenty of punching and kicking you can also make your opponent submit by manipulating his joints or choking the life out of him. My personal favorite move was to hop on my opponents back while he was on all fours and drop a few elbows on the back of his head till he forgot who his mama was. Good wholesome fun for the whole family. To sum it up this game is wicked, real, and a whole lot of fun, especially if you invite some of your acquaintances over whom you may not like to well and then beat them senseless through the magic of the dreamcast. I love technology!

Great buy!

Ultimate fighting champianship is awsome! I have been a fan of the UFC for many years and i always wanted a videogame to play after watching it. Crave was brave enough to take on the media and make this awsome game. there are plenty of fighters and lots of cool moves. It seems that if you can think of a button combination it has a new move just waiting for you. One major problem with this game is the blood. Or lack of blood. When you hit someone with a good shot little red pixels light up for a milli secound and then they disappear. Kids need to know that a knee to the face is going to create a pool of blood. I think Crave took 10 steps forward with this game. but they took a step back with the way the blood is shown.

Best game I've played in years!

An absolute masterpiece of a game! Stunning graphics (image mapping in dead on perfect), awesome sound effects and score, responsive controls (way better than any WCW/WWF game I've played on any platform). Crave did a fantastic job in creating the look and feel of a UFC event, job well done!

One of the best games for the Dreamcast!!

I've been a fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship since UFC III. Now, Years later and a short time to go until UFC XXVII, a UFC game finally comes out!! I've been dreaming of one for years, and now it's actually here. UFC is without a doubt one of the best games to ever come out on the Dreamcast system. The game is exciting, fun, fast paced, and the graphics are phenominal! It's a great game if your tired of the average fighting games like I am. The game is like a combination of a fighting game, a sports game like Knockout Kings and a wrestling game like Wrestlemania 2000. The great thing about the game is that you actually have to use some strategy in fighting. The game has a good amount of actual UFC veterans; such as, Maurice Smith, Frank Shamrock, Mark Coleman and others. The one thing I was disappointed on was that it didn't have the vintage fighters; such as, Ken Shamrock, Tank Abbott, Don Frye, Dan Severn, Joyce Gracie, Oleg Takatarov and so on. The game also has a create a player mode. The one thing I didn't like about the mode is that when you pic a specific persons style, you have their face on your player. I didn't care for that at all. The game has several modes, including a UFC mode where the fighters square off in a bracket tournament (classic UFC, the way it should be!!!). After purchasing a disappointing game like World Series 2K1, this game made me excited about the Dreamcast again!!

I got this game as soon as it came out, and I wasn't dissapointed. And i'm not just talking about graphics, which are simply spectacular. I'm talking about the gameplay. If you like to get through games buy the method of "button-mashing" don't waste your money on this one. It requires long hours to master even a few characters. You are bound to find one that suits your style.

Overall this game is great. AI is very realistic. I have found myself many times thinking that I'm about to win, only to find myself tapping out from a quick reversal. So, to make a long story short, buy this game. It's going to keep you enterntained for hours and hours.

HYPED UP!

Thats exactly what this game is...Hyped up. Everyone I talked to was swinging from UFC's you know (rhymes with)whats. All the web sites, articles, and gamers where like, "this is rated the best game" Bull! Plain and simple. I bought this game, and I am extremely disappointed. I would have returned it but could not because it wasn't defective, even then I would have gotten the same title. If you are thinking about buying this...DON'T. Sorry, but it is the truth. The same goes for most DC games, dont. Save your money and buy a PS2. It'll be worth it, or at least better than a DC. YUCK!
