        Boy oh boy. Game is great. The fight engine utilized here is much better than UFCs. Very organic. I likes. EA did a commendable job with this title no doubt.

          Game is great. I need to up the difficulty level and beat on the AI on the highest level before I go to fight online again though. Got mounted twice and didn't have any idea that the way to escape was to parry a punch and then try to buck him off. Got TKO'd easily both times.

            Picked it up last night and just got a little time to play but the game play itself is fantastic...Now just imagine if there was a way to combine this game play with the presentation the UFC game and it would be heaven

              Man, I am getting destroyed online. I just can't get a rhythm going. As much as I have talked about it not being a button masher, I'm finding myself panicing and losing fights very early in round 1. AWFUL!

                Glad to hear everyone having the same experiences with the game that we were prior to the release.

                I give the game a honest 4/5 stars. Pull a star for lack of presentation and replay features missing.

                  Yea it is far from a button masher Dave. You must remain calm, if you lose your head you will lose quickly. Most important thing to do when in a bad spot is looking for their tendencies so you can parry multiple shots to get out.

                  Parrying is the #1 most important technique in the game. It must be used in all forms from the stand up, clinch, and most importantly the ground game to protect yourself from damage AND to get out of bad situations.

                    I give it a 1/5 because I'm 3-17 online!

                    lol..I need to hit the offline before I do anymore online matches. I just have zero flow right now.

                      I'm really digging the final release more than the demo. The AI is much better and the opponents are much more elusive. It's not a slugfest at all. The only real complaint I have, outside of the weak presentation, is the fact that if I can gain full mount and posture up it's too easy to finish the fight against the cpu. I haven't tried on Legend yet but it is way too easy on Hard. Though getting to that position isn't so easy on Hard but still, I would like to see the cpu buck me off at least some of the times.

                      One thing that really stands out to me in this game is range. I love how there are fights where it seems like I find that sweet spot with range where I can be effective with my striking and stay out of danger but there are other times when I can't get off any effective strikes and I can't stay out of harms way. Range is done very well in this game, IMO.

                      A funny thing for me is the fact that I got 3 achievements in my first 5 fights just because of the match ups I chose. I had no idea going in but I got an achievement for choosing Couture vs. Fedor, Aoki vs. Hansen, and Shamrock vs. Shamrock.

                          Fedor is a beast, I'm gonna try to get that achievement beating him on hard though.

                          Load times on 360 seem perfectly fine to me.

                          One thing that's annoying with the commentary is that I was Ken fighting Frank, and Frank Shamrock referred to each fighter as Shamrock lol.

                            It would have been tough to fit in the demo, but the career mode tutorial is far better than the generic one. I spent some time this afternoon sparring just to make sure I'm on the same page as my controller. The controls aren't hard to master, but the challenge (for me) is doing the right button when it counts. I'm already seeing results.

                              Here's Fedor KOing Randy. I put it on easy so I could specifically hit him with the punch in the 2nd part:

                              and Brock vs. Fedor,for some unfortuante reason they decided to make the first 2 highlights a sub escape

                              How do you do leg subs? I'm trying them from the posistions listed but still only getting arms.

                                I really want to get this game but im really skeptical and the fact that SvR comes out next week...Ugh, I dont wanna spend this much money on games in one month (NBA2k11)

                                :

                                Hope there are more impressions coming soon that will convince me

                                How deep is online?

                                Are there any lags?

                                How good is career mode compared to FNR4?

                                Welp, just got notified that I have to pay my phone bill before tomorrow...There's a Gamestop near the phone store
