Pride FC: Fighting Championships (Sony PlayStation 2, 2003)

I'm a big mark for the UFC games, but I gotta say that PRIDE FC is just as good, if not better than UFC Sudden Impact. It doesn't have a story mode, but that doesn't really matter in my opinoin, because all the story mode in the UFC games was just make a fighter and go threw training. In PRIDE FC, there is a Grand Prix mode, which is a tournament, survival, where you fight as many differant fighters as you can, back to back, without regaining health, and then a single fight mode. You can also create a fighter and pick his moves. The controls are pretty much the same as the controls in the UFC games, but what I find pretty cool is that you can try to fight back against submissions, instead of where in the UFC games if they try a submission, you have a split second to try to avoid it, and thats it. The awesome thing is, is that THQ made this game, and they are now working on making UFC games, so the next UFC game is going to be insanely awesome. I definatly recomend this game for any MMA fan.

The game play is a bit too fast, as no fight makes it past the first round cause damage meter drops too much with every hit. Would like to see more Pride fighters on the game that were pictured in the game's video montage! Takes quite a bit of time to create a player and seems a bit redundant to choose moves between left and right punch and kicks, standing, front step and back step. I ended up doing my version of copying and pasting to try to save time. Should have set reversal buttons like THQ's SmackDown vs Raw. One button for reversing punches/kicks, one for grapples, and should add one for submissions as well. Overall, the game is fun to play at first, but gets old quick.

This is a really good MMA video game. I have been looking for this one for quite a while I had it years ago. I am now anticipating the arrival of UFC 2009 Undisputed and I had to take a stroll down memory lane and play my favorite game from 5 years ago. This game is really hard to find, I asked arounf some stores and nobody carries it anymore. eBay is the only place your going to find it unless your lucky and find it used and a video game store, probably thrashed though.
