UFC – Sudden Impact ROM Description
Since UFC: Sudden Impact is one of the weaker games in the extensive UFC video game franchise, it is frequently disregarded. Fans of the series felt that the fighting gameplay remained essentially the same as earlier editions, even if it is still enjoyable. Sudden Impact, available only on the PlayStation 2 in 2004, didn’t significantly change or enhance the concept.
The main focus of Sudden Impact remains reenacting mixed martial arts fights within the recognizable Octagon cage. There are more than 40 well-known UFC combatants for players to select from, and limb-based button controls let them battle. Now, more spots are against the barrier, allowing for more tactical grappling. Many others thought the general tempo was too quick, losing some of the deliberate strategies, too.
The three game modes—Arcade, Versus, and Championship—are just what die-hard fans anticipate. While promising, the new “Career Mode” is unsatisfactory. You must develop a fighter and train for three years to get a UFC position. Sadly, the cutscenes are boring, and the activities grow monotonous. Events held during tournaments have little significance. However, the real rulebook and roster of legends will appeal to genre lovers.
What is equally surprising is the absence of graphic enhancements. The movements and character models are much the same as in previous games. Graphical flaws draw attention to the lack of refinement rather than ruining the gameplay. Sound design makes use of well-known music and visual effects. The presentation seems outdated.
Although practicing submissions and knockouts with Sudden Impact isn’t a bad way to pass the time, it didn’t provide anything novel. Emulation is the best way to enjoy this mediocre entry, as it is a PS2 exclusive. Locating one of the more sophisticated releases on other platforms would benefit fans. However, ROMsdl.NET has a great ISO of Sudden Impact that runs beautifully in PCSX2 and maintains the feel of the 2004 UFC.
