Applying Concepts of Day of Reckoning 2 to Modern MMA Titles

[RaychelSnr]

The Gamecube's WWE Day of Reckoning 2 still gives gamers a fighting engine that is one of the most balanced simulation fighters ever created. The gameplay elements present have been unsurpassed since the game’s inception in 2006; the game still remains a deep wrestling experience, with wrinkles of simulation depth in every aspect of its build.

WWE DoR2 easily stands alongside games such as Fight Night Champion, EA Sports MMA and UFC Undisputed: 2011. Read more to see why through the damage system employed, and also the amount of strategy a deep move list can bring to the table. All of these gameplay pieces can be built into today’s games for a deeper simulation experience.

I love WWE games but the Smackdowns of late have been horrible. To this day DOR1 & 2 are my favorite wrestling games of all time. They have terrific strategy and are amazingly fun to play. I still pop these in my Wii from time to time. They're incredible

The only reason No Mercy is considered the greatest american wrestling game of all time is because noone owned a game cube. DOR2 is the greatest american wrestling game of all time

2005 not 2006.

Here Comes the Pain is the best with No Mercy

This is the craziest thing I have ever heard. That game was not very good in comparison to the best out there. People may not of had Gamecubes but you didn't have a Japanese PS2 and don't now about KOC2 or FPD for Japanese Dreamcast.

I used to respect this website, but with the lack of a PES12 review it seems that you guys have lost your way. EA pays well huh?

This game was and is the best wrestling game ever bottomline. You could string together moves like no other wrestling game in history. If TNA could buy this game engine right now and put it out on today's consoles with a online association where you could build your own wrestling association they would surpass Smackdown vs Raw easily. I still prefer this game and MVP 05 over anything made sense.

Critical Shot: Was that your attempt at an argument? I backed my argument with concrete evidence by breaking down the gameplay. Why don't you elaborate one your comparison's before you start insulting my writing and my integrity as a writer. Enlighten me. The PES12 review is on its way, by the way.

Best american wrestling game. As far as gameplay goes, King of Collesium II is tops. But the DOR series especially number 2 were superb games.

I am not insulting your writing as it was well written; I was disagreeing with your opinion. I am not going into the details as google can enlighten you. I say play KOC2 (Japanese), FPR (American) and come to your own conclusion.

I find it a bit funny that there is a big banner on the home page with the review of FIFA12 and PES12 is nowhere to be found. Hopefully the same guy that reviewed Fifa will review PES.

ManiacMatt1782 FPR was the best American wrestling game and I would put Giant Gram 2000 and All Star Pro Wrestling 3 ahead of DOR2.

P.S.

In KOC2 there are MMA rules, octagon, fighter and moves. The MMA moves in KOC2 out number the amount of total moves in DOR2.

I'm sure you're refering to Fire Pro's large ammount of attributes and AI logic system?

IMO The only good thing KOC2 does when it comes to MMA is the grappling. The striking in the game is horrible.
