Ultimate Fighting Championship (DC)

First of all I have to start with a word of warning. ******************************************* This game is NOT for children. I would say 12 and over is the minimum age for this. I know that this sounds like an over-reacting old man thing to say but some games are just not for younger people and this is one of them. ******************************************* But if on the other hand you're all grown up: Based on the real event of the same name, Ultimate Fighting Championship is a tournament where some of the world’s roughest and toughest fighters compete. There is no messing about here - the better fighter wins. Two ...  Read the complete review

I was a little dispappointed at the wrestling games that were developed for the dreamcast, as the two WWF games were quite poor and short lived in terms of the fun stakes. But I needn't of feared as this game more than makes up for it. The game uses the Ultimate Fighting Championship Licence. This is a world fighting contest to see who is the best it involves all different fighting techniques from Shoot Fighting to normal wrestling and there is no faking it here.

Graphics I have to say, that ...  Read the complete review

By now, in 2009, the Ultimate Fighting Championship is a pretty hot commodity - it currently has a higher buy rate than alternatives like the WWE, although back when this game was released on the Dreamcast, they were still struggling with their violent reputation and trying to become recognised as a legitimate sport. Nevertheless, they managed to get licensed for a game. At the time of the game's release, UFC went by a mostly "anything goes" rule, and aside from crotch shots and hair pulling, they still let a lot go (although had to make some concessions to the Nevada State Athletic Comittee to get legal status as a sport) - you can pummel your ...  Read the complete review
