Critic Reviews for EA Sports UFC 2
While UFC 2 certainly looks the part, it doesn't feel it. Strikes are razor sharp, kicks are satisfyingly heavy, and each and every fighter is beautifully sculpted and recreated, but each and every element is too robotic and rigid to recreate the dynamism and unpredictability that draws me to real UFC fights. Those fights are often won by finding those spaces between the lines that your opponent hasn't thought to cover, but those spaces simply don't exist here. As a fighting game it's worth your time if you're seeking something other than the usual options, but as a recreation of the UFC it falters before the final bell.
EA crafts one of the finest MMA games to date, although it's let down by a lacklustre ground game.
It's a fantastic follow-up to the Freshman UFC title. If you were a fan of the first one, you will love it. The multitude of game modes and presentation all combine to give the game a very professional feel that helps legitimize the sport as a big time player.
Bruising, buggy and beautiful, UFC 2 is a technically triumphant fighter, but its combat can easily flounder and frustrate.
UFC 2 captures the adrenaline rush that is MMA with features like a deeper career and the wild Knockout mode
Hard-hitting and visually arresting, EA Sports UFC 2 refines its brutal action while still retaining some notable flaws.
EA Sports Canada has improved upon the UFC formula greatly, although plenty of the modes still feel shallow.
