Supremacy MMA
What's It About?
SUPREMACY MMA presents an unauthorized, underground MMA competition featuring a variety of fighters -- each with a back story and his or her own fighting style. The game uses tournaments and tournament ladders to drive the action and give player-controlled characters a goal, albeit one that does not take long to achieve. As players fight, they gain experience and can level up in skills. Players can also go online to challenge other gamers. The game features both men and women fighters (but the women only fight women), and five game modes with three difficulty settings. There is a tutorial available.
Is It Any Good?
Supremacy MMA is a missed opportunity. The idea was to create an MMA brawler with simplified controls and in that regard, this title succeeds. However, the game plays a little stiffly, the fighters don't always respond to control inputs (especially blocking attacks), and the game's repetitiveness gets old very quickly. The bloodiness, the language, and the venues can also grate; and the game does not have anything intriguing enough to sustain it. This is a shallow game that simply doesn't have much to draw players back to it.
