Getting Noticed By Management
Taking a look at these two games, if you had to pick just one to purchase, which one would it be and why?
UFC 2009 is showing promise of a solid game, but I have not been entirely impressed with any of the previous UFC video games before which worries me. THQ is the company developing and publishing it, so I'm not sure what my opinion on that is. According to Gamestop, it will have over 80 fighters on the roster, which includes names that are no longer with the UFC. That is a pretty deep roster. However, from what I have read, they have made some pretty strict limitations on the fighting styles and how they work. Overall I like the way the game looks, but I still have some reservations about it.
Next up is Fight Night Round 4. Mike Tyson is back! Yes that's right, Figiht Night Round 4 has Iron Mike Tyson returning to the video game world, ready to duel with the greats like Ali, Frazier, etc. This game I think would have to be my choice if I could only choose one and the reasoning is, I know it will be a great game. It is being produced by EA Sports, and we all know how well EA makes sports games. Not only this, but I play Fight Night Round 3 religiously still. It has been 3 years + since Round 3 came out, so they have been taking quite a bit of time to develop Round 4. That tells me they are doing something special with this game. My hopes for this new Fight Night is a deeper roster and a more customizable boxing style.
So what it comes down to, UFC 2009 with promise of an actually good UFC game, but not so much history on their side and other issues I find questionable, or Fight Night Round 4 with a respected developer/publisher in EA Sports, history showing that the Fight Night games have been very solid previously, and the amount of time they have been working on it. And you throw in that crazy bastard Mike Tyson? Fight Night Round 4 is my pick between the two.
