We reviewed the game back in March and said this:
EA Sports UFC 2 still isn’t fully where the series should be at by now, but it’s a step in the right direction. The lack of compelling modes really hurts the product, especially considering how THQ was able to put out games with more variety to them. The overall gameplay has been improved substantially from last year’s outing, but striking still feels rough around the edges. Die hard mixed martial arts fans will find some fun here, but also some disappointment after they play enough exhibition matches.
