I've never been big into the sport of Mixed Martial Arts or, MMA to the masses. However, it's a bit different and easier to follow for me as a game instead because who doesn't love a good video game to kick back and play?

Bellator Onslaught is fast-paced, first and foremost; The rounds are short and from my time, I never went a full round without either being knocked out, or having my character tap out.

Sadly this game has more wrong than right; and it shows.  As I stated earlier; the game is fast; but; the animations just don't seem fluid enough for the action shown; and the fighters just seemed stiff to me.

We're glad to see Kung Fu Factory - developer of the mediocre Supremacy MMA - dust itself off and create a better mixed-martial-arts game. Unfortunately, this Live Arcade cage-fight contender isn't quite championship material. For most of the bout, Bellator impresses with proficient standup combat.

Hey you, do you enjoy watching steroid-fuelled, almost naked, shaven-headed men violently rubbing against each other like it's the last days of the Roman Empire? If so, you're probably already acquainted with the wondrous face-smashing world of MMA, also known as Mixed Martial Arts.

For those who don't know UFC had a gaming series on the previous generation of consoles, EA MMA have come out fighting with this game and I look forward to a rivalry between UFC and EA in the future, just to let everyone know EA announced in December that a sequel was still in the works despite the...

With EA Sports MMA , EA have attempted to take on the dominant UFC brand at their own game: the UFC Undisputed series. Released to widespread acclaim in 2009, UFC Undisputed 2009 set the benchmark for MMA videogames by faithfully recreating both the sport's intricacies and explicit violence.

Not long after THQ first released UFC Undisputed 2009, EA Sports announced an MMA game was in development. Little details were released at the time leaving many to speculate whether EA Sports was planning a hostile take-over of the UFC license.
