GAME
Ultimate Fighting Championship for Dreamcast, PlayStation, and GameBoy Color is as authentic as the sport from which it was spawned. With more than 20 combatants using 32 unique fighting styles and drawing from a repertoire of more than 1,400 moves, it has depth. Just like the real UFC brawlers, the virtual fighters range from brilliant to brutal. The character based on former world kickboxing champion Maurice Smith, for instance, is quick on his feet but seems off-balance in grappling situations. The virtual clone of Andre Roberts, a stocky Native American from Iowa, is a great body banger.
The fighters have realistic, if somewhat lifeless, faces, but the really amazing thing is the way these guys move: Whether they're grappling, boxing, or simply being mean, they really mangle.
Ultimate Fighting Championship Dreamcast: $49.95; PlayStation: $39.95; GameBoy Color: $29.95. Crave Entertainment: www.cravegames.com.
