I know I'm of the minority...but I love this game. It's a great buy @ $40 (I paid full retail)...only if you're willing to spend the time learning its very complicated nuances. I'm still struggling!

Disclaimer: I've been doing semi-competitive Muay Thai for 5 years, and this game is ridiculously authentic (I can only speak in terms of striking/clinch). The button layout is abysmal, but I'm shocked at how many hidden gems there are in transitions (i.e. throws from overhand clinch guard), likewise pacing rewards/penalties (where timing of counterstrikes is significantly rewarded, parry mechanics).

Don't flame me, please!
