I feel bad for the developers working on EA Sports UFC 2, particularly when it comes to the single player component. Because after Fight Night Champion, a regular ol’ single player campaign just isn’t going to cut it. But considering the team working on EA Sports UFC created Fight Night…
I doubt the greatest fighters in modern martial arts will square off against Street Fighter or Dragon Ball Z characters anytime soon, largely because of rights issues. Also some of the fighters in this equation are, you know, fictional. But oh what a fight card it would be.
When you see a good fight in motion — real or simulated — there’s a grace to it. It’s like watching a dance where you see the will and wit of two people intertwined. At its best, it is a like watching abstract art. EA Sports UFC is not that.
