 The Armchair Empire - Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews: PRIDE Fighting Championships
As one can imagine, these fights are much more brutal than UFC matches and blood is almost as prevalent as a good TLC match in the WWE.
PRIDE features some of the more traditional mixed-martial-art fighting styles, namely Kick-boxing, Shoot-fighting, Jiu-jitsu, and Judo and while it was kind of cool to fight as a Sumo wrestler or a Greco-roman wrestler in UFC, you don’t really see those styles in actual competition so the basis in reality isn’t missed and is certainly appreciated.
All in all, PRIDE FC is a strikingly realistic fighting game that will be immensely fun for those to rent, but I can’t imagine getting more than 15 hours of enjoyment out of the game.
