Ultimate Fighting Championship

Overview

Ultimate Fighting Championship is a set of two video games based on the Ultimate Fighting Championship mixed martial arts promotion. One version was released for home consoles by developer Anchor for Sega Dreamcast in August 2000. This version was ported to PlayStation by Opus in November. A separate version was released for Game Boy Color by developer Fluid Studios in November of the same year. The game was published by Crave Entertainment in North America, by Ubi Soft in Europe, and by Capcom for Dreamcast and PlayStation versions in Japan.

The Dreamcast version was a runner-up for the "Best Dreamcast Game" and "Best Sports Game (Alternative)" awards at GameSpot's Best and Worst of 2000 Awards, both of which went to NFL 2K1 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. Conversely, the PlayStation version was nominated for the "Most Disappointing Game" and "Worst Game" awards, both of which went to Shenmue and Spirit of Speed 1937; the staff dubbed the game "a pixellated, stiffly playing abomination." In 2001, the Dreamcast version was a finalist for the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences' Console Fighting award, which ultimately went to Dead or Alive 2. The same console version won the award for "Best Console Fighting Game" at The Electric Playground's Blister Awards 2000.
