    Easily the most realistic, and definitely one of the most fun, fighting games to ever come along.

    Believe it. This game is on the level of the almighty "Soul Cal." It's better than "DOA2," It's better than "Power Stone 2"... it's THAT good!

    You'll be playing forever -- building your own character and trying to defeat UFC Mode and Champion Road. This game has tons to offer.

    What is absolutely stunning is the total absence of formulaic gameplay. Even the best video game is somewhat formulaic after a fashion, but UFC is almost entirely unpredictable.

    Whether you're a fan of Bruce Lee, Lennox Lewis or Dalton the bouncer (Patrick Swayze's character in "Road House"), you're bound to find someone who fits your needs.

    It's not a flawless victory, however, and in the end doesn't quite reach the plateau of a masterpiece like "Soul Calibur."

    Even the amazing graphics can't save the game from its shallow and poorly thought out gameplay.

    Keeping in prospective that this was the first UFC game to be developed it's amazing how much it got right on it's first go. I hate to compereKeeping in prospective that this was the first UFC game to be developed it's amazing how much it got right on it's first go. I hate to compere versions but while the PS1 game is impressive, the DC version of this game takes everything up a notch. Even though the gameplay feels the same, with the addition of better graphics and smoother animations, it takes a better than average experience into an excellent game.

    The roster is deep for the time, and the presentation is excellent, far better than any wrestling or boxing game at the time when it comes to looking like the product that you order on PPV. Compared to this generations UFC titles, the gameplay isn't as impressive as the visuals. But whilst you won't be having any technical bouts that go on for 5 rounds, you will have some intense brawls that could last from 5 seconds to 5 minutes, much like the original UFC events themselves, things get physical and brutal real quick.

    The Dreamcast was the king of arcade style intense quick fixes, and while UFC wasn't a DC exclusive it works best on the little white console.    … Expand
