The graphics are great, but the gameplay is just bad. Fighters are just boxing mostly, and not much grappling and submissions... which are a big part of MMA by the way. There are also no kicks, which technically makes this more of a Boxing Game than an MMA game.
Fights also only last one round. This makes the games a bit unfulfilling. Movement is also a bit clumsy at times. There's also no weight division, which would make some match-ups quite unfair in real life.
The saving grace would be the graphics. They're great really, and the models really look like their real-life counterparts. I actually preferred the first game, and this one feels like a downgrade. Multiplayer needs some upgrades too.
