UFC: Throwdown

200260/100
FightingSportHack and slash/Beat 'em up
Throwdown distilled the brutality of early mixed martial arts into a surprisingly accessible arcade package. Its most enduring feature was the "clinch" system, where players grappled and jockeyed for position, setting up devastating strikes and submissions. The game's raw, visceral feel, aided by its over-the-top animations and bone-crunching sound design, made every match a chaotic showcase of violence, a far cry from the more technical approach that would define later MMA titles.

About UFC: Throwdown

Details
UFC: Throwdown is based on the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), mixed martial arts sports. The game places you in the position as a real-world fighter, utilizing various fighting styles, such as Freestyle, Wrestling, Kickboxing, Ju Jitsu, etc. Each fighter has a variety of real-life moves, in different categories. There are punches, kicks, grapples and takedowns. There are also ways of making your opponent submit, or "tapout", to gain a victory. You have the ability to perform combos, but these combos are realistic; you can perform a 1-2-3-4 punch combo, or a punch-punch-kick, or any variation of those. There are over twenty five fighters in the game, each one based off of real-life UFC fighters. The game includes fighter entrances and authentic voices.
