UFC 2009 Undisputed
UFC 2009 Undisputed, développé par Yuke's et édité par THQ, est sorti le 19 mai 2009 sur PlayStation 3 et Xbox 360. Ce jeu de combat, mêlant également arcade, sport, stratégie et rôle, plonge le joueur dans l'univers de l'Ultimate Fighting Championship à travers une ambiance authentique et un large roster de combattants d'arts martiaux mixtes, le tout soutenu par un nouveau moteur de jeu permettant de tester ses disciplines dans l'Octogone. La presse a salué ses qualités, GameShark évoquant « le brawler un contre un le plus satisfaisant et divertissant » joué sur console, tandis que certains joueurs sur Metacritic, sans être fans de l'UFC réel, ont jugé le titre « really fun detailed fighting game, easy to learn », et d'autres l'ont décrit comme l'un des meilleurs jeux de combat et le meilleur jeu MMA jamais sorti, relevant au passage d'excellents graphismes. GamePro a toutefois nuancé en notant quelques problèmes l'empêchant d'être le rêve absolu des fans, tout en confirmant un titre « tremendous ». L'ensemble affiche une note agrégée de 73,14.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« UFC 2009 Undisputed does have a couple of issues that keep it from being a MMA-fan's dream come true but it is still a tremendous title that will make any fan of the sport proud. »
« This is easily the most satisfying and wildly entertaining one-on-one brawler I’ve played on a console. »
« Yuke’s hard work has paid off in spades with UFC 2009: Undisputed. While the game may have taken more time than some fans would have liked to hit shelves, the wait was worth it as they delivered a top-shelf game in every area that counts and provided an amazing base that they can build upon in the future. »
« The best thing that Yuke's has made in years. It's stylish, fresh and deeply engaging. It is, in short, a bruising powerhouse of a game. »
« I am not a big fan of the UFC. Sure, I’ve seen a few matches here and there, but I don’t really follow the sport devoutly. I guess wrestling is more my cup of tea. Now, that said, I have to admit I love this game. UFC 2009 Undisputed takes all the things that makes the UFC sport electrifying for fans, and puts it into a cohesive and realistic game experience. »
« Undisputed includes all the main MMA disciplines and fighters, along with a career mode that I can't stop playing. That's enough to keep even the most critical fans happy. »
« We were both literally and figuratively gob smacked by UFC Undisputed. The nuances to the hand-to-hand/fist-to-face/foot-to-face combat were ridiculously deep, and far from the realm of button-mashery. Top it off with some of the most sexified graphics we’ve seen, and an intricate leveling-up system, and there’s little wonder it’s…undisputed. »
« Unless you’re particularly unsportsmanlike when it comes to multiplayer sessions with your mates, bludgeoning a man unconscious on your 360 doesn’t get any more realistic than this. »

« Not a fan of UFC in real life, it’s not really my cup of tea but this game **** rocks. A really fun detailed fighting game, easy to learn and easy to jump into a quick game and a fun mode where you can make your own fighter and work your way up the roster. Awesome and definitely worth playing. »
« UFC Undisputed 2009 is one of the best fighting games and certainly the best MMA game ever released. The fantastic graphics greatly support the wonderful gameplay and the flawless mechanics. Very addictive, even if it gets slightly repetitive after some brawl hours. »
« Really fun game to play, this was the first UFC game that I got and as I got use to the controls I got a lot better. I like how you can choose what to train in and how hard you train in it. »
« There is learning curves and then there's this. The tutorials are at least there to try to get across the insane controls of trying to handle grappling, mounting, and especially defending or countering such situations. The end result is that unless you are willing to make this game into your hobby *and* job, the situation is as follows : The opponent grabs you and gets you down into the ground, no matter how you wiggle the right stick and do everything the tutorials talk about, the AI destroys you and you lose with a TKO. This on the "beginner" level. Give me a break. Unplayable. Impossible. »
« Menu is an atrocity, so is career mode. The fight system is awesome though when you get use to it. Great to play with friends. Online mode is too laggy to be competitive but still somewhat fun. »
