I was planning on going to EB this weekend to make a few trade-ins and pick up something new (haven't decided what yet). I'll probably pre-order Undisputed.
I'm going home this weekend to go to the Bruins game on Friday and the Celtics game on Saturday (fuck yeah) and the Celts game isn't til 8pm on Sat so I'll most likely dedicate that entire day to playing the demo, which I have yet to play.
I'm getting sick of the demo. I want to play as Hendo, Rampage, Griffin, and both Silva's. I can't wait :]
I've played a few fights, and this is sick. Beginner is really easy, you can pretty much do whatever you want to do on the ground. It'll take me a while, but I feel like once I can remember every aspect of all of the controls I'll be good. I'm pretty good at the stand up (figured this would be the easiest aspect), but I can't figure out the clinch at all, even with the tutorial. The ground controls are really sick though and well done.
All three TapouT goons are playable characters in the game, which reportedly has close to 90 to choose from.

Notable absentees: Akiyama, Kang, dos Santos, Sonnen, Hamill, Stout, Carwin, Jones, McCrory, Guida, Hazelett, Reljic, Nover, Palhares, Browning, Soszknski, Marshall, Burns, and others. Also, there are some bonus fighters in the game who are unlockable, but I won't spoil who they are. Couture isn't in the game. Bader & Escudero are downloadable content, and thus don't ship with the game.
Here is a more in-depth look at the ratings categories for fighters, in this case for Chuck "The Retired Man" Liddell. I assume everything is on a scale from 0-100 or whatever, but seeing Chuck's cardio at 58 makes me wonder. Chuck hasn't had cardio problems since at least Liddell/Couture 1.

Some people who got advance copies of the game (GameStop employees, etc.) are furious that every character in the game fights orthodox, or. right handed, including notable southpaws such as Anderson Silva.
Yeah, I've read that. Another thing I'm pissed about--you can't use established fighters in career mode. I'm sure in UFC 2010, they'll iron out the kinks. It is still a fun game and I'll still get it, but the southpaw style being left out is going to bother me.
We all know that lefties are inferior human beings anyways What do you mean you can't use established fighters in career mode?
I kinda like that better than using the game's fighters... make myself, whip everyone's asses, good things.
