Like its predecessor,
UFC 4 is a
fighting game based on the
mixed martial arts promotion
Ultimate Fighting Championship
(UFC). There are 229 unique fighters, with 81 alternate versions. The
game features a career mode, which was designed to be an "onboarding
experience" to teach the player the basics of four MMA disciplines which
include
boxing,
kickboxing,
wrestling, and
jiujitsu.
The goal of the career mode, which allows players to create their own
custom fighter, is to become the G.O.A.T. (which stands for "greatest of
all time"). As players progress in the game, they can choose to accept
or decline fights, which will affect the development of the fighter's
career. The control scheme was also improved and streamlined to make the
game more accessible.

Multiplayer modes, including Blitz Battles, and Online World
Championships, would also be available. In addition to fighting in
The Octagon, players can also fight in Backyard and Kumite, which resembles an underground fighting arena.

UFC 4.
