UFC Undisputed 2010 improves on the formula that 2009 established while tweaking all the minor problems that the original game contained. There are more fighters, more options for online play, a bigger career mode, and plenty of tutorials to understand the aspects of MMA you will need to have in order to score the victory against your opponents. So you wanna be a fighter? This is how!
The great thing about Undisputed 2010 is that the fighter’s animations all have improved greatly and react just like their real-life counterparts so fights look and feel as if you’re watching a live PPV. Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg are back of course to commentate on the matches, and actually talk less about the fighters this time, and more about the moves that they are doing inside the octagon.
This year, you’ll also have more options on how you want to fight inside the octagon as well. Clinching still provides a good set up in starting some devastating knees and uppercuts, while giving you some room to initiate a takedown, or use the sides of the cage to your advantage, a new addition for 2010. All fighters can use this technique, but the wrestlers you will face will have a better chance of taking you down.
Most of your favorite fighters are here and accounted for, and with over 100 to choose from, so you’ll have no problem picking someone else when people complain “not to pick GSP” when you play online. If you don’t want to use these fighters, you can always create one, and the options in Undisputed 2010 gives you more freedom to create the fighter you want. Instead of choosing a discipline to use, you will be able to learn moves from the various martial arts used by the best of fighters. Do you want Chuck Liddell’s overhand right, and GSP’s spinning back kick? All you have to do is learn them in career mode and the move will be yours.
The career mode this time gives your custom fighter a voice and more options when training, but there are still plenty of menu’s you will have to sift through in order to get to your next fight. Having a voice allows your fighter to participate in interviews, and the responses you choose will increase your respect and popularity, or increase your popularity with a disrespectful response against your opponent and create your very own rivalry in the UFC. Career mode is a fun ride, as well as Title and Title Defense mode, which has you on an endurance run of title fight after title fight, but with all fighting games, multiplayer play is the thing to do.
Besides Just the online fighter against fighter play, you can start your very own camp with your friends. In the camp, you can train together, customize your camp logo and motto, and hone your fighting skills in order to take on other camps. If that’s not your thing, you can take on the world in ranked matches, and complete goals that the online portion will give you. Lag is still present, although you can search for matches with a connection priority, which will search for a good connection to make matches feel like you’re playing locally. This option is great, but I still encountered plenty of lag online which was a major problem for me, especially since you have to pay for the online portion.
Like with the EA games, THQ asks you for an online pass for $5 bucks if purchased used, rented, or even borrowed from a friend. It sucks, but at least it is cheaper than the EA pass which will be $10.
Overall this is a great improved on Undisputed 2009, and adds a ton more fighters to choose, while giving you greater options for your own fighter. So you wanna be a fighter? UFC Undisputed 2010 is how!

I used to have UFC 2009 and thought it pretty fun and a nice fresh start to MMA games. After playing a ton of the 2010, I was really excited for all the features that the new version would bring. From the swaying, the 100 plus fighters available to use, and the improved ground game, UFC 2010 does enough key things to justify a purchase while keeping the great gameplay of the first one intact.
So far I've created a character for career mode and although you still have to go through menus before fights, there are more options to take on before a match. Customizing your character's skills is improved as well, since now you can take moves from different techniques to create a deadly yet diverse fighter to handle any style of fighting that your opponent's will possess.
The online play, which requires a code like the EA games will, has improved a bit as well, although lag is still present and very annoying. You can search for matches by the quality of the connection, but it won't play as smoothly as you want it which is a bummer since this is where most players will spend their time with the game. Hopefully a title update will fix things, but offline multiplayer is still a blast to play.
UFC Undisputed 2010 will join the EA sports games as it will require $5 to play online if you don't purchase a new copy of the game. From the previews of the game out there, it seems like the online component will be a huge part in the game so the only way to get into the action will be to buy new and get the code free, or pay half the price of what EA will charge for the online pass.
The UFC 2010 Demo is Now available on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for download. Check it out below:
