UFC 2009 UNDISPUTED Continues To Look Great
Some ‘UFC 2009 UNDISPUTED’ screens hit us here at One Last Continue today, and boy, did they hit hard! When I finally came around, I was able to appreciate them just a little bit more. It’s currently under development by the studio Yukes, best known for their contributions to the WWE Smackdown vs Raw franchise. While it’s likely Yukes will carry over many of the features that made those games so successful, it’s obvious from looking at the newer additions that this title is not merely just a case of the ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’.
- AUTHENTIC UFC PERSONALITIES: Explore a deep roster of more than 80 top names in UFC competition across five weight classes and enter the Octagon surrounded by the sport’s popular commentators, announcers, referees, trainers, Octagon girls and more.
- PHOTOREALISTIC MODELS AND EFFECTS: Experience the world of UFC as it appears on television with photorealistic fighters who breathe, sweat and move like their real-life counterparts. Players will also view amazing ripple effects across the faces and bodies of their fighters from the impact of devastating punches and kicks.
- CONSTANT CONTROL: Gain the upper hand in matchups with a brand new fighting game engine designed specifically for next generation systems. Emphasis on innovative, responsive and easy-to-play controls will give players unparalleled command of their fighters in the Octagon.
- FIGHTING DISCIPLINES: Take down opponents and get the submission with a variety of mixed martial arts disciplines, including Judo, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Kickboxing, Boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
- CREATE-A-FIGHTER Jumpstart the career of a future champion by customizing your fighter’s physical appearance, learning new fighting techniques to use in the Octagon and managing the training process through attributes such as strength and cardiovascular health.
- CAREER MODE: Develop attributes, perfect moves and fight for entry into the UFC Hall of Fame.
I’m really intrigued with the fighter creation utility, as from that description it does sound like there’s going to be some mini-game style training exercises to keep the blood (in your thumbs) pumping. The visuals also look VERY polished when compared to the previous titles that Yukes have pumped out of their development studio, and closer to the time of release it would be interesting to get a closer look at this title.
Hopefully, that way Ken Shamrock might win a few more bouts….With that in mind, watch the trailer and give your opinions here!

a man after my heart. thanks for the write up shaun! i just hope the controls are at least decent at best. MMA is so technical, that above average controls would be welcomed with open arms.
id love to use the analog sticks to control each side of the body while using the bumbers and triggers for motion, something new!
