While browsing the Xbox Live Marketplace today, I came upon a new item for UFC 2009 Undisputed which offers two new fighters, Ryan Bader and Efrain Escudero. What struck me as odd is the description accompanying the DLC. As you can see in the above picture, this item costs 320 Microsoft Points. However, the description states “Download these free roster additions…” Did I miss something here?
I may have slept through a couple classes in college, but last time I checked, free did not equate to $4. Requests to Microsoft and THQ were not returned by press time, but we’ll keep you posted when we hear from them regarding this confusion.
[Update] Yes, I am aware that these are the same fighters that were offered as pre-order bonuses as GameStop.
Being a huge MMA fan, the announcement of UFC 2009: Undisputed got me all antsy in the pantsy. The prospect of a true mixed martial arts game was exciting, but was also met with trepidation. Could THQ pull off what amounted to only an okay fighting game before? When Undisputed showed up at my door, the game immediately went in my consoles and has not left. It’s that damn good.
After a short break, Game with Loot Ninja is back on its new night. Since we’re pretty addicted to it, we figured why not play UFC 2009 Undisputed with you find folks. We’ll be mixing it up in Player matches so we can have open lobbies and invite you all into matches. I’ll be whooping asses an taking names.
The new start time is 8pm ET. Gamertags can be found on the About Us page. A few of us will be there, so hit us up with friend requests or look for us online.
If there’s a game you want to see in our weekly Game with Loot Ninja nights, let us know.
I’m hooked on UFC 2009 Undisputed. You’ll be able to read our review soon, but tonight is UFC 98. That means lots of beer and ordering a PPV event. Rashad Evans is taking on Lyoto Machida and Matt Hughes finally meets up with Matt Serra. My bets are on Machida and Serra.
UFC 2009 came out today and I’ve been playing the shit out of career mode. My light heavyweight fighter is 7-0 and currently ranked 9th in the standings. There’s no doubt I’ll be putting in an absurd amount of time with this game. Check out the launch trailer and go pick this one up right away. Both Steve and myself have it on Xbox 360 if you want to play us online.
We had a chance recently to chat with John Edwards, the Senior Creative Manager for UFC 2009: Undisputed, on many aspects of the game. Being huge MMA fans here at Loot Ninja, we talked the ins and outs of the sport and how it translates so well to the game this time around.
Read on to find out how THQ balanced the gameplay between stand up and ground combat, submissions, their favorite fighters, and a lot more.
Mixed Martial Arts has taken over the sport of fighting. It has surpassed boxing as far as fan interest is concerned. Now that MMA has assumed its seat on the throne, it is time for a great video game to come out. Boxing has Fight Night. UFC now has Undisputed. The demo was just released. This game has to start from scratch and has to find a way to incorporate all of the nuances into the science that is MMA. UFC 2009: Undisputed has a move list that will make Street Fighter 4 blush.
