To start, I did NOT play the original version so I am coming in with fresh eyes. The menu designs, graphics, and overall app performance are pretty great. Where the game falls short for me is the actual gameplay within the octagon. Compared to other games on the market, this falls on its face. The lack of control and responsiveness are major turnoffs. Lots left to be desired in that regard. I also don't like that the term "raid" is used. It doesn't make any sense in the context of the UFC sport.
