  When all the elements of UFC 2 come together it makes for a very fun back and forth between the two fighters and the ability to choose from so many fighters is a delight for fans. It does feel as if EA are still trying to figure what they want to do with the franchise when it comes to the game's other modes. EA have attempted to fix a lot of mistakes made by the game's predecessor, ending up with something much improved and fun.

  While I’m still not the biggest fan of the sport, UFC 2 is fun to play and see and allows players to try out different things while still having a decent time. The grapples and submissions are sometimes confusing to understand, but the fighting itself is fast, fun, and great to watch. Fans of UFC will get the atmosphere of a real UFC match, while fighting and sports game fans have enough here to have some good fun.

  While UFC 2 certainly looks the part, it doesn't feel it. Strikes are razor sharp, kicks are satisfyingly heavy, and each and every fighter is beautifully sculpted and recreated, but each and every element is too robotic and rigid to recreate the dynamism and unpredictability that draws me to real UFC fights.

  EA Sports UFC 2 is a much better excuse to go looking for a fight than the previous game, even if it's missing the allure that made UFC Undisputed 3 so great.

  EA Sports Canada has improved upon the UFC formula greatly, although plenty of the modes still feel shallow. The career mode has been pushed to the side (literally) and rightfully so as it’s the most lackluster campaign available. It once again brings TUF to the start of your career, but fails to replicate what makes the show entertaining. It’s more rewarding to play through the online-centric Championship mode despite it relying heavily on card packs and RNG pulls.

  Offering improvements to Career Mode and introducing new modes like Ultimate Team and Knockout Mode, EA Sports UFC 2 builds upon the already solid gameplay and presentation to bring fans a fun experience for yourself or with friends that are either a fan of UFC or just can’t wait for a new Fight Night game.
