"This game has a steep learning curve!"

Gameplay: UFC 2010 Undisputed's gameplay is outstanding and very tight! The controls are very hard to get right, but after 2 hours of in-depth tutorials, you should be able to figure out at least most of the controls. The controls are also very sensitive, so you never have to press too hard. The only complaint I have with the gameplay is that when going for a submission, you have to rotate the right stick at a lightning speed to make your opponent tap out. Another positive is that the punches and kicks connect with satisfying smacks and cracks, which adds to the realism! Plus, the knockouts are amazing! The game screen will turn gray when somebody is rocked, which is a nice touch, and the commentators are in to the action every single fight! However, the online play is sometimes unplayable because in every match that you play, there will be tons of lagging issues. I found myself giving up in most of my matches, and even though you can check the ratings and skills of your opponents and you can also create sessions, most times, nobody will be online.

Presentation: When you first pop in the disc, you will notice that the main menu includes gorgeous styleized menus and the music is a perfect fit! But, after you play the game a couple times, the menu graphics wear out their welcome. The fighters are perfectly designed, and they look exactly as their real-life counterparts! When you begin a bout, the "tale of the tape" feature looks like it was pulled right off of television. Also, the graphics run at a silky smooth 60 frames per second when in a fight, and there is no slow down whatsoever! All UFC personnel including the ring girls, commentators, referees, and the over 100 fighters are perfect, right down to the bone! The commentating team of Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan do an excellent job of talking about what's happening in the ring. They have a much varied script, that is much better than last year!

The Verdict: Overall, if you can overcome the steep learning curve, almost unplayable online play, menu-heavy career mode, and sticky submission controls, then UFC 2010 Undisputed is the game for you! It's clearly better than its 2009 best-seller, and its clear that this will be a best seller as well! Even if you aren't a fan of the UFC, this is still a very good fighting game that executes every aspect of the real UFC 100% perfect!
