After having established the modern perception of the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) genre on the current-generation of videogame consoles, publisher THQ decided to rest the UFC Undisputed series for two years at the height of its popularity. Other contenders have come and gone, and yet UFC Undisputed 2010 remains the most widely respected MMA videogame currently available. Well, that was until the arrival of UFC Undisputed 3, anyway.
KeenGamer: "UFC Undisputed 3 is still the best MMA game ever made. Why is it that a game with an outdated roster and PS3 graphics still holds a special place in the hearts of so many players? Let's take a look at the major differences between THQ and EA's approach to MMA gaming."
"Earlier this month, I examined fighters that EA Sports needs to add very soon to the roster for EA Sports UFC. Generally, I was disappointed with the roster size for EA Sports UFC. This is a new-gen title and the size of the roster was even smaller than the initial roster for the last UFC game, UFC Undisputed 3." | Explosion.com
"In a few weeks, Electronic Arts will release its first foray into the MMA phenomenon–the Ultimate Fighting Championship. After trying and failing to exploit the industry without the UFC, with EA Sports MMA, the UFC and EA finally put aside their past differences to collaborate on a brand new MMA gaming experience." | Explosion.com
