Mar 15, 2016EA Sports UFC 2 still isn’t fully where the series should be at by now, but it’s a step in the right direction.
-
May 5, 2016This year’s UFC feels like it improves in some key areas – overall quality, game modes and such – but not enough to really feel a great leap from the past.

Official Xbox Magazine UKApr 18, 2016And still...the undisputed heavyweight champion of MMA games. [May 2016, p.86]
-
Mar 30, 2016UFC 2 is hard to get into and not as rewarding to play as it should be, but its smart system design, presentation, and generous helping of content should keep UFC fans occupied – provided they make it through a gruelling training camp first.
-
Mar 16, 2016EA Sports UFC 2 still has some kinks to work out, but the overall experience has improved over its predecessor.
-
Mar 15, 2016Some issues drag everything down, particularly the lack of intuitive feedback, and the barebones tutorials, and a dry career mode, but EA Sports UFC 2 is a welcome improvement on its predecessor that shows this series is going in the right direction. It’s just not a number one contender quite yet.
-
Mar 11, 2016EA Sports UFC 2 delivers the grandeur of MMA in a remarkable and brutal presentation. A traditional fighting game this is not, and the genuine attempts at simulating a dense sport result in clumsy combat that only on occasion captures the drama and nuance of human chess.
-
Mar 10, 2016EA Sports UFC 2 offers much new content, but the only important change comes from the Ultimate Team mode. On the gameplay side, this new episode is quite similar to the previous one.
-
Mar 18, 2016EA Sports' UFC 2 has some technical skill, but is missing the heart of the sport.
-
Apr 3, 2016The lack of overall options and content creates a shallow feeling that EA Sports UFC 2 can never quite shake.
-
Mar 24, 2016UFC 2 is the best attempt to date at turning the sport into a game, and seasoned fans will no doubt be able to overlook its shortcomings and enjoy it for what it is - a gorgeous-looking but ultimately flawed fighter.
-
Mar 23, 2016Everything here is serviceable, although Ultimate Team’s execution falls a little flat; instead of unlocking wrestlers, you find yourself unlocking moves to use with your brawlers. But why should you have to unlock a move you should be able to do in the first place? Still, by and large, UFC 2 is a solid fighting game, and it’s easily at the head of the wrestling genre in sports gaming.
-
Mar 10, 2016Bruising, buggy and beautiful, UFC 2 is a technically triumphant fighter, but its combat can easily flounder and frustrate.
-
Mar 30, 2016Microtransactions and the brutal learning curve make UFC 2 hard to play and even harder to recommend.
