If you like MMA it is great. Most funny and amazing part was combining unique combos. Also graphics is really nice. It is game for everybody. N00b and pr0. Hardest game difficulty = legend? it is nearly impossible to win with Fedor Emelianenko
It's a pretty decent MMA game from a mechanics point of view, but it's like the second coming of the PRIDE FC game. The roster is the basically MMA Legends and awesome.
That's a good way putting it! It's basically a successor to THQ's Pride FC without being done by THQ. The main reason I enjoyed the game was for the roster of mostly MMA legends.
I had forgotten all about Pride FC. Looking back at that game, EA MMA was a deeper version of that with roughly the same roster. I like the current UFC games, but the rosters don't interest me much. I'm a fan of 90s and early 2000s MMA.
I finally played EA MMA over my cousin's house. It was alright. It doesn't measure up to THQ's UFC games, but it shows that EA could deliver on the UFC license. There was obvious potential in EA trying out a new sport.
