Fighting games in PlayStation (PS) is something that PS fans have grown accustomed to especially in the vibrating feature when punches are landed upon you. UFC Undisputed is a game franchise that has refined the art of fighting since the development of the series by Yuke’s. UFC Undisputed is a series that has brought understanding to the sport as well as the appreciation for mixed martial art professionally. Otherwise, after mastering the moves in gameplay, the game offers an array of entertainment and relief, especially when played in multiplayer mode.

The Franchise

The UFC Undisputed franchise immerses players to the professional side of the sport. The series has done a great job in representing the sport as the amount of depth and detail, seasoned licensed fighters, coupled with a presentation that offers realism, seeks to liven the octagon-shaped Pay Per View event from the comfort of your location.

Although the franchise is most sought after in terms of the game, a major complain for UFC Undisputed 3 predecessors is their high learning curve and daunting control schemes. Simply put, playing the game as a newcomer would require that you spend a lot of time learning the moves or guessing plays before soliciting full entertainment and satisfaction from the game. The multiple modes and two-player capability give you a wide array of options before getting bored with the game.

Engaging with the Fun Side of UFC Undisputed 3

Booting UFC Undisputed 3will reveal something different from its preceding versions. The player is prompted to choose between amateur and pro. The option addresses the uninviting complexity problem that preceding versions were acclaimed to. Playing the game for the first time under amateur mode would prompt instructions on control combinations to press to throw down a move. The feature helps the player learn and play at the same time rather than go into practice mode.

Listening to the cheers and commentary, especially during the introduction of a player, emulsifies your external environment to sink into the virtual world. It takes you to the ring and readies you to the eruptions of fun emotions the game was designed to radiate. Once you have mastered your moves, the daunting task is to win your opponent by showcasing who has the best move combinations. You would spend hours on the game especially after you get to understand it.

New Features to the Game

The thing about game series is that newer versions are always better than the previous ones. UFC Undisputed 3 is better than its predecessors but on a higher degree because this time the developing team took time to listen to UFC Undisputed enthusiasts. They created what every player had envisioned. Apart from the amateur and pro options, the introduction of the Pride FC mode is a record of history. The league is something that was scraped off from the real sport but you get to play it in the Undisputed series.

The graphics are rendered realistically from the real licensed player and bruises are evident from the kicks and punches you get to throw.

The pros and cons are as follows:

Pros:

  • Easier to understand and play
  • Realistic graphics and moves
  • Better controls response
  • More playing options and leagues to choose from

Cons:

  • Takes too much of your time virtually sometimes leading you to forget the real world.

With a slew of upgrades and enhancements, UFC Undisputed 3 is the king of the ring when it comes to MMA, coming in fast with some of the best fighting you'll ever see in video game form.

Main Game Features

  • Completely overhauled fighting systems
  • Multiple modes including Career
  • Features Pride FC rules and fighters

Gameplay

UFC Undisputed 3 is all about rocking your opponent with punches, kicks, and submissions, all while chasing wins with a ravenous knockout. In comparison to UFC Undisputed 2010, many of the fighting mechanics have been overhauled or reworked, leading to more fluid and fun matches. Striking has been modified to be slightly more calculated, instead of the usual rush of punches. Now, you can line up brutal power punches, zone out your opponent with jabs and hooks, or lay into them with flurries when the time is right. Referees will have to physically pull you off of your opponent due to the new “Finish the Fight” mechanic, which lets you pummel the other fighter even after they've been knocked out.

Submissions have also been completely changed, so earning tap-outs is reasonable this time around. Once you've locked up the other fighter, you can engage whatever hold you desire, then transition on the ground using the right stick. When it's time to tap them out, a new mini-game appears, which makes it simpler to find the sweet spot of submission. Technical knockouts are also much more common than before, including new leg TKOs, which you can perform by focusing all of your attacks on your opponent's legs until they are unable to stand. All of these new techniques are easy to pull off, as there are two control schemes: Pro and Amateur, so new players can still experience all of the hype without needing to learn complex button combos.

Modes of Play

UFC Undisputed 3 wraps up all this excellent fighting in a great collection of modes that highlight everything you'll want in an MMA game. There's a Career mode to get immersed in, but unlike UFC 2009 Undisputed, things are more basic and easy to understand. You can either create your own character or pick an existing athlete to use, then work your way from beginner to champion in the UFC ladder. This game adds two new weight classes as well, including Featherweight and Bantamweight. Apart from Career mode, many of the common modes are available, such as Exhibition, Title Defense, Ultimate Fights, and more.

That said, the best mode in UFC Undisputed 3 is Pride mode by a long shot. Similar to UFC, but much more exhausting and violent, Pride was an alternative that offered crazier fights similar to the WWE. Complete with explosive fighter intros and a bright white fighting ring, Pride mode unleashes the beast of mixed martial arts. In this mode, you can perform otherwise illegal hits, such as flying knees or punches to the head of a downed opponent. Some of the best elements of Pride mode are also available in other modes like Career, but it all feels the best when you're fighting in that iconic white ring.

Conclusion

There are many UFC games, but UFC Undisputed 3 is often considered the best of the best. The fighting feels awesome, there are lots of modes to enjoy, and the inclusion of Pride FC is an unexpected blessing.
