The hype around Mixed Martial Arts television competition UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) has raised to phenomenon levels as of late. As with any largely popular sporting event UFC has been the subject of several video games already, but the newest rendition by THQ, UFC^® 2009 Undisputed promises to blow the competition out of the waters.

Packed full with tons of exciting features and boasting a roster of over 80 top names from the UFC, UFC 2009 Undisputed is pushing the limits of modern consoles to deliver amazing graphics and outstanding gameplay. THQ brings an innovative new fighting game engine to the table, designed specifically for next-gen systems, with emphasis on quick response and easy-to-use controls, players will have unparalleled command over their fighters. Master the controls, and take down the competition with style.

UFC 2009 Undisputed invites you to step into the Octagon with over 80 real life UFC fighters across all weight divisions, and get hyped up listening to popular commentators and announcers, get shouted at by (un?)popular referees, and acclaimed trainers, and get seduced by the ever lovely Octagon girls. All fighters are brought to you in amazing photorealistic graphics.

But you don’t have to have a favourite MMA fighter to get immersed in this extraordinary fighting game. Hop into the Create-A-Fighter and craft a champion. This exciting mode will bring some RPG-like elements to the game, allowing you to train your fighter through various attributes including strength training and cardiovascular health. Take a new fighter to the Octagon and build them up from a small time fighter to the Ultimate Fighting Champion.

Amazing technology leads to amazing immersion. You’ll be asking yourself if you’re actually playing a game or watching a real fight as the fighter’s bodies ripple with every punch or kick, and as their faces contort from your devastating hook. You’ll feel the heat as your in-game fighter sweats just as much as you are when you’re competing online over Xbox LIVE, fighting for the trophy, for the right to be king of the Octagon, to be the Ultimate Fighter. Career mode allows you to develop characters, perfect their moves, and engage in brutal championships to fight for your chance at entry in the UFC Hall of Fame.

Mix it up the way MMA is suppose to be, choose moves from six different fighting disciplines including Judo, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Kickboxing, Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Throw devastating kicks and punches in the standing fight, then move in close to grapple your opponent into submission.

With all these amazing features UFC 2009 Undisputed promises to be an unparalleled addition to the UFC gaming lineup, and a great addition to any serious gamer’s library.

Keep a black eye out for UFC® 2009 Undisputed, grappling its way onto the shelves May 19th, 2009.
