IGN Reviews - UFC Undisputed 3 Review
 Score 8.0 Great | UFC Undisputed 3 raises the bar for MMA games and is harder to put down than a heavyweight champ. The Good
Like the best MMA fighters, UFC Undisputed 3 is well-rounded and impresses in a lot of different areas. It improves upon its predecessors at practically every opportunity and, for the moment, is the undisputed champion of MMA video games. |
 Score 9.0 Amazing | The devs have managed to combine elements to make the experience less intimidating while still adding in a ton of new features to keep hardcore fans engaged. Taking some time off to rethink their game plan was a great move by the developers, and it really shows. This is the deepest and most realistic MMA experience around. Presentation: 9.0 Tons of new videos and interviews with real fighters, accurate entrance themes, and a slick Pay Per View-like look to the fights line out the great presentation. Graphics: 8.5 The character models look great, complete with accurate likenesses for the real fighters and real-time bruising. The created fighters look awfully samey, however. Sound: 8.0 The music is pretty plain and some of the commentary gets repetitive, but Bas Rutten's commentary in Pride mode is manically awesome. Gameplay: 9.0 The fighting mechanics are as deep as they've ever been, but more adaptable and accessible than ever before. Lasting Appeal: 9.0 A robust career mode with tons of unlockables, the Pride ruleset, and Title Defense mode will keep you busy for a while. |
 Score 9.0 Excellent | Thinks like a fighting game, plays like a simulation. UFC Undisputed 3 is clearly a labor of love. The development team at Yukes spent countless hours listening to fans, addressing concerns and conducting research that resulted in this game bringing in concepts and philosophies that broaden it beyond the average sports simulation. . . . UFC Undisputed 3 is an example of what every sports simulation game should be. By choosing not to be bound by how people think of the sport, Yukes managed to deliver a product that is both more realistic and enjoyable than both of the previous UFC titles. Any game that can make me a fan of its subject matter overnight is a winner in my book. Likes

 Score 8 Great | GamesRadar Verdict Backing away from the yearly model was a good choice for THQ and Yuke's. With the extra time, the developers were able to truly polish the game, bring forth a game that, while flawed, doesn't have any glaring issues. It's more accessible without losing any of the complexity, it's deeper without being isolating, and it's bursting with content, even if we wish the content was implemented better. The neutered (though technically better) career mode is somewhat of a disappointment, but it's something that we're looking forward to seeing expanded in the sequel – as long as that sequel is more than a year away. Take your time, guys, we'll be playing this one for a while. You'll love

 Score 8.5 (out of 10) Related Links: | This is, undeniably, the best UFC game yet, but it's more of a refinement than a reinvention - as sports sequels so often are. The real star here is Pride mode. It's not only incredibly faithful, from the look and feel to the intricacies of the fighting, but massively entertaining too. If Yuke's sort out their loading times and menus in the next game, and continue to fine-tune their combat and add further depth to career mode, then Undisputed will become one of the greatest sports franchises in gaming. Until then, it's going to have to slug it out some more in the Octagon. THE VERDICT Pride mode, the streamlined career, and an abundance of core gameplay tweaks make this a worthy sequel. But if you're expecting a radical makeover, you might be disappointed. Uppers
