The database is set in 1998, one year earlier than WMMA 2 and features one new promotion set in Brazil. If, like me, you are a fan of the fake universe, be prepared to see some major changes. If you don’t like the fake fighters and universe, the game is highly customizable with mods, which means that user created databases with real-life companies will show up very soon. The Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts (or GAMMA) is a close approximation to the UFC, Xtreme Cage Combat (XCC) is a very close approximation to WEC and so on. Their heavyweight champion is Hazzan Fezzik, the most dominant MMA fighter in the world who specializes in Sambo and thus, can be compared to Fedor Emelianenko.

For example, Japan’s #1 promotion is ALPHA-1 and it is as close to PRIDE as possible, complete with one 10-minute and two 5-minute rounds for fights (extended to 6 rounds for title bouts), battles that take place in the ring and judges that evaluate the whole fight instead of a round to round basis. The game’s default database is a fictional universe set in the Cornellverse (the same universe as the Total Extreme Wrestling games) that features fake fighters and companies that have some similarities to real life promotions. After playing it non-stop for the past week and a half I have to say one thing: WMMA 3 blows its predecessors out of the water in every area and it’s a must buy for text-based game fans or MMA fans.įor starters, WMMA 3 is a text-based simulator developed by Adam Ryland, the creator of the Extreme Warfare, Total Extreme Wrestling and Wrestling Spirit series. World of Mixed Martial Arts 2 is one of my all-time favorite games, so I was very excited to get my hands on the sequel. Is this another victory? Read on to find out! The King of MMA sims is back to defend the title. If anyone is interested in this game, play the free demo.Īdam Ryland is a great developer, as he makes the Total Extreme Wrestling series as well, which is a good game.
