Pride FC

The first time I heard about this game was when I played a demo disc with this on. I thought it was rather entertaining. So I went on the net to find out about it. By some of the websites it was rated the most realistic fighting game of the year. So naturally I went out and bought it. When I got home I was raring to start of a Grand Prix of fighting so I picked my favourite character 'Gary Goodridge' and fought on. As expected it was a pretty realistic fighting game even when you got the guy on the floor. And so I easily battled through and completed that. Unfortunately I easily got board of that mode and moved on to survival mode. This was entertaining and after about 25 rounds I had completed that to. A let down with this game is the fact that the controls are really chunky and unless you know the combos the fighting is pretty slow going. The bloods hardly realistic but its still fun every now and again to get the guy on the floor and beat the life out of him while the blood platters everywhere. After I had played this game for about an hour I was pretty disappointed with how this game was structured. It didn't prove all that long and to be honest there were no unlockables at all. The thing that makes this game good though is the create a character mode, where you can create your character and his moves. These moves can be connected together perfectly making your character a killing machine with knock out moves that would scare even the best of boxing champs. I probably spent about 2 hours alone just creating my character perfectly to fit any situation. When I tried him out he fought like a beast and now I never lose a battle. The real fun is playing with a mate where you can battle out with your created characters to the end. This is where all the moves and combos go. And an easily won match can soon turn around as your opponent smacks you to the floor. Shortage of game play and lack of unlockables let the game down a lot.

this game is a must for all ufc and pride fans the best feature is the create your own fighter, and as a multiplayer game its great only negative is the lack of any career mode.

This game is really something, if you look past the 'first hit and they start gushing blood' it is a great game, great combos, great ground'n' pound, great standup game, and amazing character customization. BUY THIS GAME.
