UFC: Throwdown

“UFC: Throwdown is the first “real fighting” game, for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube, that offers the raw, full contact Mixed Martial Arts fighting found in the pay-per-view phenomenon known as Ultimate Fighting Championship,” said Craig Owens, Marketing Director at Crave Entertainment. “Each version of Throwdown has its own subset of exclusive UFC fighters and both have the most in-depth create-a-fighter and career modes to date.”

The “real fighting” genre, created by Crave in 2000, features actual UFC champions and all the real-life Mixed Martial Arts moves they use in the Octagon. UFC: Throwdown has 28 competitive fighters, including past and present UFC Champions such as Tito Ortiz and Jens Pulver. The game also includes four exclusive fighters per platform, such as former Welterweight Champion Carlos Newton and Ricco Rodriguez.

The most realistic, jaw-dropping fighter entrances ever seen are viewed as the modern day gladiators enter the Octagon, and the detailed graphics don’t stop there. The facial and body animations and special effects are so realistic that muscle movements and bloodstains can actually be seen.
