"Hard learning curve, rewarding returns."
This isnt a game for your typical button masher to pick-up and string together incoherent attacks until you win. There is a lot of things to learn, around 4 different control environments and many many hard counters, This is why the game is so good, casual gamers can spend 10mins doing the tutorial and they will get good returns on weaker AI and friends, whereas it retains its playability for serious gamers, Ive had some epic battles with friends and admittedly have not touched any of the newer titles released in favor of the UFC undisputed demo available for free DL on the PSN network at the moment. With the game wide open for DLC support, a huge online MP base being built with the demo... This game should satisfy all fighter fans from casual to pro.
Also the concept of being able to KO Tito Ortiz over and over again.. who wouldn't want to have a go eh?
