![]() Integrating tutorials seamlessly into gameplay is always hard and much has been said about how to do it right. If you’re silly enough to, like me, play the entire tutorial before attempting a single match, by the time you do start one, you’ll have forgotten more than you remember. You have the game, and then you have the tutorial. Worse is the fact that it’s not integrated into the rest of the game at all. The tutorial is actually too long, I’d say. It covers everything from basic strikes and moving around the ring to advanced concepts like energy management, and strike catch submissions. The tutorial alone is over an hour long, and that’s if you don’t replay anything. It’s more about timing, situational awareness, body position, and predicting what your opponent will do next, and each one of those aspects has some move or hold associated with it that you have to learn. And you can forget about Street Fighter style button combinations. I’ve never played a fighting game with such a deep and complex repertoire of moves. UFC Undisputed 3 seems to nail this aspect. The moves, fighting styles, and techniques at work in a real fight all need to be in place for the game to seem credible. For a game like this to succeed, it must accurately and thoroughly reproduce speed and action you’d see in a real fight (and in my experience the pace of combat in UFC Undisputed 3 is positively snail-like compared to actual fights), then it must get everything else right. That brings us to UFC Undisputed 3, the newest mixed martial arts simulator from THQ. It’s no wonder really that games that allow regular gamers to participate in those activities from the safety of their own couch are so popular. It’s the closest you’ll ever see to a professional street fight. Unlike boxing, seemingly anything goes in those fights. Humans have always had a grim fascination with violence, and there’s just about nothing more violent, unless they start televising attempted murders, than mixed martial arts organizations like the UFC and Strikeforce. However, that doesn’t mean I won’t watch other people do it. ![]() So I’ll never for the life of me understand what possess men and women to spend their lives lifting weights and perfecting martial art techniques just so they can spend time trying to turn another human being’s face into ground meat. If presented with the opportunity to commit physical violence on another person today, I’d most probably refuse it. Looking back, I can’t begin to imagine how or why I found myself in such situations. Oh I’ve been punched, and I’ve maybe thrown a few punches of my own from time to time, but not in years.
