DARK-KNIGHT

any help with this also added a nice poll;)

I have UFC and like it because Im a UFC fanatic. If you dont know much about MMA you probably wont enjoy it as much or be 'good' at it.

I hate online because of lag and everyone wanting to do BJJ and I find that boring in the game!

The story/career isnt great either. Its boring levelling up(picking whether to spar or do cardio/strength/speed). Its really short aswell. Theres no storyline!

Its just pure fighting and if youre not a big MMA fan, I wouldnt recommend it. Just rent it for a week(€7.95 in Xtra Vision I think).

Fight Night Round 4

I have both games but prefer UFC. As Swizz says there's no story mode in UFC to speak of but its still a solid game with good replay value and I'm sure the coming UFC games will get better as they go.
Fight Night Round 3 was / is one of my favourite fight games, however the controls in Round 4 are terrible IMO. Maybe I've just got to get more practice or used to the new fight system but at the moment I'm not loving FNR4.

Big MMA fan for years, and in terms of boxing if its on ill watch but wont go out of my way to see it, I preferred fight night as a game though. UFC game bored me to tears after a few days and I haven't been back to it since. I should really give it a 2nd chance maybe.

Just my opinion on it.

they are both awesome

UFC looks good when you're playing it but i would agree that it gets boring after a while. I rented it to give it a go and got bored after 2 nights of gameplay and returned it to the shop before my rental was up. The first night i played it with a mate and it was good craic but the second night i played it on single player mode and just got bored.

Personally i love fight night. It looks great and plays great. the only downside is that in career mode it's a bit long winded between fights. IE: the training is a bit annoying at times. That said, i'd buy fight night any day over UFC.

Fight Night Round 4

I prefer UFC but not by much tbh. I wouldn't buy it though. I'd rent it. The career mode in UFC gets very stale. Too much loading time for me.
It's a good laugh with offline multiplayer. Online play is very laggy.

If you are gonna buy UFC OP I got my copy in HMv for €29.99. That was in their sale price so I'm not sure if it's still the same price.

Haven't played UFC so i can't compare, but have to say i'm really enjoying Fight Night Round 4. Picked it up pre-owned for €35 recently, and reckon i'll get about 30 quid back when i go to trade it in later this week for Forza 3, so happy days.

dont go near them with a bargepole

UFC has very rigid controls, there is a lack of unpredictability (except flash KOs) it's a lot of fun when you are learning how to play and then find something new but when you know everything a lot of fights tend to boil down to the same thing, the other player constantly blocking transitions on the ground and countering in a standing battle. It's still a very enjoyable game though.

FNR4 is a very well made game. The fight engine is based all aroung unpredictability and every punch is different. The career is a lot of fun and online is flawless, I especially love that you can download fighters such as Michael Jackson, Rocky, Obama etc off xbox live. However there are a lot of whores on LIVE who I don't know how they do it but seem to just hit you with power punches for the whole fight without losing stamina. Still, another great game.

Haven't played UFC so can't compare them but love Fight Night 4. played it constantly when it was first released then went off it as new games came out but have gotten back into it recently and it's still amazing. Some of the fights you can have swing back and forth so quickly it makes for edge of the seat exictement. It's true that the training sections are a bit dull and repititive but try to see past that and focus on the fighting for an excellent system which improves in so many ways over FN3.

Fight Night Round 4

I found UFC to be infinitely more enjoyable than Fight Night Round 4... I'd go for UFC without a doubt!
