Here we go again with the Madden comparisons. Madden has been out since the Genesis days, and they have really run out of huge improvements to make, other than changes to the gameplay that really only serious fans will value.

With this series, it obviously hasn't gotten to that point yet. The first game was last year, and there are a ton of things that they can improve upon since they got the basics established with last year's addition.

I know today's consumers are cynical, but good lord, let's give it a few years before we start calling it Madden.

Wait, people are bitching because a game with a year tacked on it is coming out a year after the first one? Seriously?

Anyway, I think UFC '09 is pretty innovative. I haven't played anything like it. But if you didn't like the first one I would probably suggest that you not buy the second one.

Well I can't disagree with that. I never played the SVR games, but I played WCW vs. NWO Revenge and Wrestlemania 2000 and thought they were pretty good. But that was also like ten years ago.

@1251-

1) I don't give a shit about wrestling games.

2) They made an innovative game with last year's UFC release.

3) You make it sound like this year's release is unwarranted, then you list off several things that needed to be improved from last year's version...proving that an updated version IS warranted. Nice job.

4) The fighting styles most certainly are not the same. I don't even know how you could say that. Depending on what you pick, the punches and kicks are different, the throws/takedowns you can do are different. You can't use the Muay Thai plum unless you're a Muay Thai fighter, etc. You're just making shit up with that one.

5) No one's talking about your "right" to say anything. You can say whatever the fuck you want. And I, in turn, can tell you that you're being stupid.

Furthermore, I don't suppose you could wait to see what they've come up with to improve upon last year's before you begin bitching about it? I know that's not how being a forum troll works, but maybe just this once, you could wait to get some facts before spouting off at the mouth.
