Reception

EA Sports UFC 4 is a fun return to form for EA Sports. With a simplified approach to fighting and the inclusion of a more in-depth career mode, the UFC franchise is on the right track to building better things.

Freed somewhat from the seasonal release schedule that EA Sports follows with its mega-successful FIFA and Madden NFL series, the sporting game giant steps into the octagon once every two years with its digital interpretation of the hyper-violent Ultimate Fighting Championship.

A competent and crunching MMA sequel that brings key improvements to the Octagon but stumbles when the action moves to the ground.

EA Sports UFC 4 is obviously made by people with a true love and respect for MMA, but it's also pretty clear they didn't have a ton of resources to work with. The action is better than ever, but the flash and depth you expect from an EA Sports title is MIA. This year's UFC game comes out of its corner hot and provides a few exciting moments, but doesn't...

An excellent fighting game and a formidable exponent of the real sport, with a little innovation compared to the previous game.
