With UFC Undisputed 2009 releasing on May 19th I’ve been trying to get myself up to speed on it. Admittedly this isn’t a sport I follow closely and I had tempered expectations due THQ’s history with the WWE games. However now that everything is gearing up I’m optimistic and impressed with what has been put on display. It appears they’ve really invested in making this a great first effort which is critical to its long term success as a franchise.
- Gamestop preorders will provide a code to download Ryan Bader and Efrain Escudero for free
- The official website has a bunch of videos including a standing game walk through and some that focus on the different types of fighting styles.
- There is an extensive preview in next month’s Gamepro magazine that goes over areas including the career mode (1 – 2).
- There may be a league hosted in the forum. A buddy of mine is interested in running one, with a PPV style event theme to it. Just something to possibly look forward to if it the circumstances for it are right.

Looks good…but i'll i wait for the reviews before I think about buying

They need to put Frank Trigg in the game so I can rare naked choke him with Hughes/Pierre for the 4th time…

So funny how fast Kimbo was erased from the public eye. There's such an enormous difference between fighters & real MMA athletes.

I didn't think Trigg was affiliated w/UFC anymore. I can't wait to destroy people online with the best pound-4-pound man on the planet…….GSP!

His not anymore, but it would still be funny… The look on his computer animated face would be priceless…

Yeah I'm really starting to anticipate it. THQ is a new company for me to learn about how they disseminate info and such. But leading up to and through release I plan to cover UFC as much as I can.

Well Pasta, THQ's history with WWE's gaming has been pretty positive, even though it's arcadic, but the controls are pretty good, graphics are amazing, gameplay has been fun, but I think thats attributed more to the larger than life personas of the wrestlers and its arcadic type game play.
I initially had doubts of a UFC game, but after watching some recent videos, I see this game becoming very promising.

The game looks great, but i also remember being excited for the very first UFC game on consoles and being very disappointed LOL. This one looks like they are actually trying to make a great game though, have to wait and see…

I completely agree. The multi-year release though should tell us that they are serious about turning this into a franchise. They've definitely improved the game greatly since the first game play release to their most recent one.
