Edit: After getting a lot more playing time on this game, I am liking it a lot more. I still havent figured out the tilt minigame, but I have learned to avoid the strengths of the opponents. If they cant knock me down, I can take them over the long run. This makes it a lot more like real boxing, where a pugilist with less stamina cant go very far, even if they have a harder punch, with one with higher stamina that can go the distance. If you can outlast them, and not let them get lucky, you win... I never had the previous version of this game, so I do not know the differences there. This review is of the version I do have, and the only one I have played. I havent figured out the tilt minigame to get out of a knockdown yet. I dont know if I will be able to yet. That to me is only worth half a star, which is why I rounded up to five stars... The tutorial is excellent on this game. It goes over the controls and different moves and techniques. I mainly play on a 1G touch (OS 3.1.2), and this is one the best looking games on it. This is the only MMA game that Ive seen on the platform. The game is responsive, and snappy, the controls are easy to figure out ( with the knockdown minigame exception). This to me is worth the money. The games that interest me are the games that are challenging, even if I get beat for awhile when learning them. I want to learn to not get knockdown...
