I cannot wait to buy this game! I love MJ and hopefully some of the profits from this game will go to his estate. I'm interested in their "proprietary" tracker too; hopefully it will live up to the hype.

That's adorable! It's great that they thought to make a game for kids. I love how this tortures the frat-boy demographic. "Oh noes, my precious hardcore gaming console being used by other types of people?!?!?! I'M MELTING!!!1!!"

This game is beyond great, but I only wish they gave the option of customizing our character. What you see the guy wearing in that clip is exactly what you get, all through the game. As a lady, it'd be nice to actually be my own gender, at the very least. :/

Re: Fighters Uncaged

Love this game! After only the training (calibrating) session, I was tired, even broke a sweat. I'm not out of shape either, I often run 3 miles & do weight training. The opponents are fun to beat, and the "Leg Pain!" makes me laugh every time. Have yet to play online against someone else -- that may add another layer of difficulty I'm not yet ready for. Overall a great game for any MMA, boxing, or fight fan in general.

Pros:

  • User friendly. The training session is ample to teach you how everything works.
  • Great graphics, scenery, and opponents. Not much interaction with your environment (picking up trash cans, etc.), but maybe that's too futuristic to wish for just yet.
  • Availability. Every store I've seen has plenty in stock, no waiting or back-ordering.

Cons:

  • Cannot change your player/character. You are always a guy in jeans with a bad fade.
  • Difficult facial recognition. You have to hold a lamp right by your head in order for it to let you move on to the menu screen (dark skinned players only, I'm assuming). This is a problem with the console itself, but the game literally will not let you move on to begin fighting until you trick the system somehow. There should be a skip option, it's not like it's all that important anyway.
  • Requires massive stamina; you may have to pause in between rounds just to catch your breath or drink some water. Think Billy Blanks Tae Bo on speed, nonstop.
