Resources:

• Adrenaline Vault Review   [rate] [review]
  "While you're not going to rock your friends socks off with the none-too-glitzy presentation of UFC Throwdown, the game's tight controls, smooth combat and surprising flexibility will make up for those shortcomings with little difficulty." Reviewed by Mike Laidlaw. (06/17/02)

• Armchair Empire Review   [rate] [review]
  "A solid title that will appeal to those looking for a more realistic fighting game. " Rated 8.5/10 by Tazman.

• Electric Playground Review   [rate] [review]
  "The entire game boils down to some annoyingly simple button mashing that gets old faster than most UFC matches last." Rated 6/10.

• Game Revolution Review   [rate] [review]
  "Its simple controls and variety of styles will easily impress the newcomers. The rest of the vets might enter the ring for a fight or two, but this tournament isn't worth coming out of retirement." Given a C by Brian Gee.

• GamePro Review   [rate] [review]
  "The characters are sloppily animated, and when the camera zooms out, the fight is shown in an odd, blurry style that mars the action." Reviewed by Four Eyed Dragon.

• GamerWeb Review   [rate] [review]
  "UFC fans should be more than satisfied. Its not as polished as I wouldve liked, and the depth is somewhat hindered by overly similar modes of play." Rated 7.5/10 by Ben S. Dutka. (08/21/02)

• Games Domain Review   [rate] [review]
  "If you just want to experience the visceral knockout quality of a good arcade-punching match, then UFC is exactly what you need." Rated 3.5/5 by John Brandon.

• GameZone Review   [rate] [review]
  "Has some drawbacks, but offers incredible fight graphics." Rated 7.8/10 by Michael Lafferty. (06/27/2002)

• IGN Review   [rate] [review]
  "A tossed bag of good, great, and not so." Rated 7.7/10 by Jeremy Dunham.

• PlanetPS2 Review   [rate] [review]
  "Fighting game fans will like Throwdown. Mixed martial arts fans will love it." Rated 86/100 by Steve "Lights Out" Steinberg.

• PSX Nation Review   [rate] [review]
  "A quality interactive representation of a legitimate fighting franchise, brought down only by its lack of gameplay modes, inconsequential audio and too-close-for-comfort similarity to its two-year old Dreamcast cousin." Rated 7/10 by J.M. Vargas.
