“Career Live Movies bring the UFC experience to life, while educating the player,” said Bunn. In career mode, new movies will play featuring video of real UFC fighters and trainers that will help players navigate the ins and outs of MMA. New in-game tutorials walk players through every aspect of the game, whether they’re jumping into an exhibition match or embarking on the robust new career mode. THQ worked with 150 fighters to bring every tattoo and fighting style into the new game, which features seven weight classes (heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight, bantamweight) and seven fighting styles (boxing, karate, muay thai, kickboxing, wrestling, judo, sambo, jiu-jitsu, and MMA) to master. UFC 3 packs a lot of options onto the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 disc. But for new players, they can choose amateur and just pick it up and start having fun with your friends if you’re not a hardcore UFC game player.”

So the hardcore players that are used to the pro control scheme actually have a little bit more of an advantage. This ‘amateur’ control scheme doesn’t provide any added advantage over the previous control scheme, which is now called ‘pro’. One of the ways we did that was to introduce a new control scheme. “We knew we had a great game, and we wanted more people playing it. “After the first two games, our goal for UFC 3 was to make the game more accessible,” said Wes Bunn, senior game designer on UFC Undisputed 3. THQ has taken extra development time with its UFC Undisputed 3 in an effort to not only court new gamers to the sport, but to help educate potential new fans about the strategies and intricacies of MMA. The biggest fighters in the UFC like Anderson Silva and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson are as well-known today as boxers like Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather. With boxing still in a lull, mixed martial arts (MMA) has expanded beyond the hardcore thanks in large part to marketable fighters and a never-ending stream of big pay-per-view events around the world. The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has never been more popular.
