Review: EA Sports UFC (PS4)

A missed opportunity in the first round.

For starters, this is an arcade fighter wrapped around the rules of the Octagon - that’s a good thing. Much in the same way that Fight Night didn’t follow the flow of a boxing match, UFC is more of a slobberknocker than its real-world counterpart, taking a liberal interpretation of “punches in bunches”.

This is entertaining for the most part, except when the fight hits the mat. Here they become a torrid mess of right-stick swirling with all the strategy of a bar brawl. The amount of transitions is absurd with reversals and full mounts every few seconds. I don't know why...
