EA SPORTS UFC 2 KNOCKOUTS SKIN
Slow motion replays between rounds and knockout replays at the end of fights will show ripples in the skin when blows are landing. Landing punches and kicks one after another all-the-while seeing bruises, cuts, and blood pour from their faces, onto the mat and both the fighters. You roll through the cut scene and are then put into the fight yourself. The crowd, lighting, and sounds make it feel as life like as imaginable. Once the opening scene of a championship bout between Robbie “Ruthless” Lawler and Rory “Red King” MacDonald begins, you feel as though you are watching actual footage. It is quite impressive how much a game can change in just two years.
Whether it is watching Conor McGregor’s hair flow and bounce as he plants a flying knee into someone’s face or the blood spray that follows, this game has graphics that stand out among the best. Two years later though, EA seems to have figured out what they were struggling to achieve in their first attempt.Īs with any game, perfection is far away, but improvement is what has been achieved. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just watch the glitch series YouTube user Tommy Toe Hold has posted and enjoy a good laugh. I promise that we are beyond the glitch filled game that was EA’s attempt at competing with THQ’s UFC Undisputed. Hopefully you are actually reading this, instead of bypassing it simply because the title of EA Sports UFC was present. EA Sports finally put their best foot forward in the world of MMA, but is ‘UFC 2’ a complete knockout among fans?
