Played on PS1
Yeah no
I've watched some Dreamcast gameplay, and it seems superior to the PS1 version on every level, but the gameplay seems extremely similar, it's pretty much the same gameplay wise.
The roster is pretty awesome, a lot of recognizable faces and throwback fighters, though the game is missing some of its older stars such as Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Dan Severn, Tank Abbott, etc. But hey, at least we've got Gary goodridge lmao. What I'm saying is the roster is pretty cool but it could've been far better.
All the aesthetics, music, sound, all suffices. The game looks cool and interesting.
Now, why this review is rated 1 star: the gameplay sucks. There are so many fucking moves in this game and it's way too complicated, it would take weeks to memorize all the moves. The game is also extremely difficult, you will lose almost instantaneously if you don't know how to counter everything. The game also doesn't explain anything to you, you're completely on your own. There's a training mode but it's literally just a normal fighting mode but when someone loses it resets.
This game basically just becomes non-stop countering. Despite the 50 million standup moves you'll likely rarely use them as the AI in this game literally just shoots for takedowns and tries to submit you. that is legitimately all they do, regardless if they're a wrestler, kickboxer, jiu jitsu specialist, etc. ALL OF THEM will just spam takedowns and spam submissions. You can counter everything in this game, so it's basically just you countering their takedown/submission attempts and then attacking them or trying to sub them yourself. It's just annoying and not really fun. Even after being able to stay alive in a match for more than a minute it's just obnoxious.
Game sucks! Perhaps the Dreamcast version would be rated higher but the gameplay seems basically the same.

i am all for combat sports games where you just lose in five seconds if you are a silly little fool. not exactly for the best how little this game helps you in figuring these things out but thats why god made gamefaqs. wish there was more content but far better than i had anticipated for the first ufc game c. 2000. rip kevin randleman the GOAT (don't play the ps1 version! its not very good, or so i've heard!)
GBC version
