![]() ![]() Ground game was easily the most frustrating experience that most fans in the previous games but now with the beginner controls, you can perform minor and major transitions by simply flicking the right stick up or down rather than the previous quarter and half circles. Have no fear, those of us that have gotten used to the controls from the previous games can keep these Pro controls if they wish (and will have an advantage). ![]() You can use the cage as a weapon against your opponent, you can KO with leg kicks now, and ground game has been reworked to make more sense with the new (and optional) controls.Ī big change is the inclusion of amateur controls, which allows newer players to be able to competitively compete against fans of 20 that know how the ground controls already work. ![]() There are many small and large changes to the game that felt like a natural progression of the series as well. It's clear that THQ has taken their time and that much of this is done for the fans the inclusion of Pride mode alone should prove this. In Pride mode you can expect to see the overly elaborate entrances with fireworks and lasers that make for a pyrotechnic show. In UFC you'll see the fighter's entourage of trainers walking down to the ring with them as they wait for the referee to check them before going into the cage. Presentation as a whole has been vastly improved, and now fans requests have been answered with finally having the fighter walk-ins now included. You can see how Brock would do in a Pride ring or how quickly Sapp would gas in the UFC. UFC fighters can fight in Pride and vice versa. The casual fans (and for the curious) will be pleased to know that any fighter can fight in either promotion as well. There are even Pride fighters included like Bob Sapp, Vitor Belfort, Dan Severn, Royce Gracie, and even the pride version of Rampage and Wanderlei (complete with different stats and before how they look now). You have Pride era fighters, Lenne Hardt doing the entrances in only the way she can, commentary by Bas Rutten and Stephen Quadros, and of course the inclusion of Pride fight rules where you're allowed to soccer kick a downed opponent, knees to the head, and even face stomps. Pride mode isn't just a simple change from octagon to squared ring either everything from the Pride days has been recreated that's clearly been done for the fight fans. The first thing you're going to notice when you start playing is the option to play in UFC or Pride mode. So what has THQ improved on with the extra development time? There's almost too much to go into great detail here in our early preview. With a roster that now boasts over 150 professional fighters at launch, and I'm sure many more to come as DLC, even a casual UFC fan should recognize many faces here aside from the current champions. THQ has taken an extra year of time to update and polish the newest version of the increasingly popular UFC game: UFC Undisputed 3 (gone are the yearly names of 20), and from what Xboxaddict got to try out during this week of fights at UFC 140, I was very impressed. ![]()
