PSX: Ultimate Fighting Championship - Gameplay Video

This was the first time anyone got to experience MMA in a video game, and it was a hard task to balance solid gameplay. The dreamcast version is more polished but very similar. The gamplay focuses on grapples and reversals, and striking does not play enough of a key role. When you first start, you may find yourself quitting before you even understand the controls, due to the controls you must press 2 buttons for takedowns and reversals, and your opponent will take you to the ground and make you tap in about 20 seconds if you dont know this. Once you learn the controls and understand how to counter submissions you will have a much better experience. Various fighters have unique takedowns, strikes, and submissions, but the AI often leaves the pace of the fight going in the same direction the whole time. The clock runs very fast, but you can set the amount of time and number of rounds, so if your fights always end in the first round or always go to a decision, you can adjust to keep fights more interesting.
UFC offers a 16 man tournament, with limited recovery between fights, which can make things more challenging. The roster had a lot of great fighters, but still left many out. There is a Create a Fighter mode, which helps with the small roster, but its very limitted. After winning a 16 man tournament, you can enter a title defense mode. However its very weak. You have to defend the title, but you never lose your title if you lose the match, you just fight them again. So there is no reason to defend your title and you might aswell fight an exhibition. This game truely shines with 2 Players that know the controls. Once you learn the controls matches against the AI go instantly from being impossible to a walk in the park.

My Final Verdict: This game is a decent attempt at a 90's fighting game, but falls very short of capturing the MMA experience, even for its time. I do recommend this game if youre playing with someone else.
Single Player - 4/10
Two Player - 6/10

@T5IVEPICTURES it's not roman numerals man, PSX was the abreviated form of "playstation" that was used on the boxes for the first few years.

"This was the first time anyone got to experience MMA in a video game," wrong, the Fire Pro wrestling games had a "grousome fighting MMA mode back on the Super Famicom.
