    Don't blame the game because you suck

    im not. im blaming the game because its too technical and not fun in the slightest (so far)

    definitely for hardcore ufc fans only imo

    I'm not a hardcore UFC fan at all, watch the odd event, but I think the demo is great.

    I would be a hardcore fan of the UFC so i love the demo but my mate while a fan of the ufc is a completely useless player on xbox yet he loves it aswell once he got the hang of transitions and countering them. I think if you put the time in to learn stuff you will enjoy the game..i think rather than saying definitely for hardcore ufc fans its not for button bashers like some fighting games tend to be.

    i think its the polar opposite to button basher fare, its TOO precise and fiddly. technical fighters are all well and good, but this is definitely taking it to new extremes

    seems to be plenty of options and lots of depth to it for those who stick with it

    I think its good that its not a button bashing game. If you want button bashing there are a million fighting games out there to enjoy. Plus it adds more realism to it. UFC is about skill. When have you seen a fighter run out swinging wildly and jumping around? I dont agree with being a hardcore fan of UFC to enjoy this game though. I would consider myself but be a fan (not hardcore) but I've played the demo with friends who dont watch it at all. It took them 5 or 6 fights to get the hang of the controls but once they did they loved it.

    Its not like its rocket science. After a couple of fights, you get the hang of the controls. Some of the flicks of the stick can be hard to get right first time, but thats about it.

    Really enjoying this however, I do think the non-UFC fans will get bored of it very quickly.

    It does have a steep learning curve, but with all things, practice makes perfect!

    Definite buy.

    theres too much stuff to remember right off the bat. the tutorial section was very poorly executed imo, and it only ends up throwing too much at you when it should be gradually easing you into it by of actual fights instead of having to sit through text, then a demo you cant skip, and then finally the chance to do it yourself

    Its a lot to take in at the start alright, but, I'd rather the game allowed you to do a lot of different moves rather than just being able to do a small amount of moves that gets very boring very quickly.

    The tutorial tells you what to do, and lets you do examples. You can do one small section at a time. Its not like you have to do it all in one go. If you feel like they are throwing too much at you at one time, go back and do the rest later. Each section only lasts 2-5 mins in the demo. How much more could they possibly break it down?

    None of the moves by themselves are very difficult, so as you play a couple of fights, you'll pick up the controls. Its not like any one move is overly difficult.

    After 5-6 fights, you should have a fair idea what you are doing.

    Can anyone tell me how large the demo on Xbox live is? I'm mad to give it a try, but will be downloading through a vodafone 3g connection, so the smaller the better :D

    I got it and I have to say, its as good as the demo, only major problem is when I played online, its was jerky, unresponsive and generally terrible! I only played once mind you, now it could be just a bad connection, and may also be fixed in the next few days for full release or after a while with a patch, i dunno. Haven't played the career just yet. Created a guy, its not hugely in depth, and can't be from Ireland :mad:

    Im about 5 fights into my career ( 5 K.O.S !! ) im getting better but its still at the stage of i dont really know what im doing. As i get more moves worked out it gets a bit better. Graphics are great but i dont like the UFC on TV so ive no idea about the fighters or all the different fighting styles and ground fighting etc so its a steep learning curve at the moment.

    Dont think ill stick with it for too long though its all ready getting a bit samey.

    was asking about this game in gamestop on sunday and they said its in their system as €55 but it might come down and be cheaper depending on the demand and what others are selling it for.

    My girlfriend went in today to get it for me, it said in the window, RELEASED now, and she went up to the desk, and he said "nope sorry, FRIDAY"

    she wasnt impressed!! saying why have the $^%-ing poster up

    sue them for false advertisement. Or just practice the moves on the person behind the counter until friday.

    Got the demo downloaded this morning and was hooked on it for about 3 hours straight. Its the perfect balance between Fight Night and Smackdown gameplay. The KO's are simply brilliant (including standing over the downed opponent and smacking his head in :D). I had heard very little about this game, but having read the comments here and now having had the chance to play the demo, I will most definitely be picking it up on Friday.

    Noticed that myself! I think it adds a nice touch to the knockouts, literally "knocking the taste" out of your opponents mouth :D

    Might take a trip late to Xtravision, or Tesco at the Coonagh road roundabout...

    Unlikely they'll have it up on the shelf early, but worth a chance.

    Think that's just to indicate the fight has been ended. What I'd liked to have seen was Herb or Mazagatti pull your fighter off when your dominating in the mount as opposed to a knockout every time
