UFC Undisputed 3

Large bank of modes and fighters, pristine presentation, and unbelievably immersive gameplay is what will make this game such a huge hit. It may be so well received, in fact, that non fans interested in the game could begin to watch the real events and become real MMA fans.

UFC Undisputed 3 is a great game for any fight fan. It's a perfect mix of boxing and WWE showmanship with the cuts and cauliflower ears to prove it.

UFC Undisputed 3 is the ultimate package for MMA fans and a heck of a primer for MMA novices. The developers took some time away from the market and really refined this game, well past what was even seen in UFC Undisputed 2010 and it really shows.

The undisputed champion of the genre. This time it's more accessible to beginners and offers an improved career mode, some tweaks to the combat system, as well as the famed PRIDE organization. [April 2012, p.76]

The truest expression of digital combat around. Amazing. [March 2012, p74]

Prolonged hugging sessions on the tatami, barbaric fist fighting marathons in the octagon: you will experience it all. We even won on points on time. And that was only the second round! Saving your energy for the next round isn't an unnecessary precaution. [March 2012, p.78]

UFC fans will love it. Newcomers may come to love it due to the better accessibility the game offers. UFC Undisputed 3 has a good career mode but the strength really lies with facing other human opposition.

UFC Undisputed 3 is certain to please even the most discerning MMA fan. Its new Pride mode plus suite of gameplay tweaks address the few but noticeable holes of an already winning predecessor.

UFC Undisputed 3 is a great evolution of this interesting franchise. The deep fighting system is still there, but the new design of the entire game turns a complex and hard experience into something more easy to play.

Don't get me wrong - this is the best UFC game, the best combat sports game and one of the better fighting games to come out... it's just that I can see it being even better, and I'm disappointed that hasn't happened yet.

There were questions over whether the Undisputed series would be another journeyman fighter, occasionally shoring up weaknesses but never quite improving enough to beat the best. Instead, this addresses virtually every criticism of the last game, then throws in a load more that nobody even thought to ask for. Champion.

The sheer amount of new content in UFC Undisputed 3 is staggering. The devs have managed to combine elements to make the experience less intimidating while still adding in a ton of new features to keep hardcore fans engaged.

UFC 3 Undisputed offers a huge roster, the ring announcer Bruce Buffer, the UFC and PRIDE commentators, and, for the first time ever, the chance to fight in the Japanese MMA League PRIDE. There's nothing more to say than: Let's get ready to rumble!

The loading times are steep, but other than that we can't think of many flaws to this fighting game. Adding PRIDE to the mix turns out to be a good call, resulting in an impressive roster of 150 fighters. Overall there's a nice increase in depth and modi, making for a nice third entry in the series.

AS a whole package UFC is excellent value for money, and sees enough additions from previous, besides the enormous roster to warrant a purchase for fans of the franchise.

UFC Undisputed 3 rectifies many issues of previous installments, combines depth and simplistic gameplay successfully and contains more content then you'd expect from a new game in a sport franchise. It nears perfection in the MMA-genre, but there's still enough room for improvement.

Simulates brutality so every blow feels heavy and real. [Apr 2012, p.100]

You really can't go wrong with Undisputed 3. Fans and newbies can come in and enjoy the game at their own pace and those victories moments can't be beat. After the online gets fixed up this will be a game that shouldn't be missed.

The game is impressive, and it seems we're on the cusp of something truly special.

UFC Undisputed 3 is easily the best game in the franchise. It's suitable for beginners as well as UFC veterans. Despite a few flaws it's still a must buy for fans of the sport.

While gameplay is overall a great experience, I would like to see more control given to my fighter when it comes to the sway system, and I'm not completely sold on the new submission mini-game.

A sizeable step over its predecessor. [Issue#215, p.84]

For the third time, UFC Undisputed stands as the best fight simulation available. New improvements and an impressive roster of fighters are there to please old time fans. Too bad for a uncertain netcode.

Hopefully sequels will enhance the career mode. [Apr 2012, p.80]

A great gameplay, the new Pride mode and improved career mode are the main reasons to buy UFC Undisputed 3 if you have the previous edition and are having second thoughts.

UFC Undisputed 3 is a continual refinement of systems that THQ established several years ago, but when you add up all its features, you end up with superbly well-rounded fighter.

The shortcomings of the career are the main reason why my enthusiasm is a little bit dampened, but the rest of the game was improved in all its aspects. The new moves, attacks and the inclusion of the PRIDE-Modes make it a must-buy for fans. Even newcomers and people who so far just liked the UFC-Videos don´t need to be afraid of the steep learning curve they found in the earlier games.

Yuke's is trying to deliver something fresh albeit with mixed results. The addition of "Pride" is welcomed, but serious changes must be done with the graphics engine of the franchise.
