![]() ![]() In fact, the excellence of WMMA is why I am now excited to preview what is in store for Adam Ryland’s newest release, World of Mixed Martial Arts 2, which is set for a full release on April 8 with a demo releasing on April 1.īefore I begin, I want to clarify that all of this information is gathered straight from Adam Ryland himself, right from his developer journal/thread that he has been keeping since the beginning of this year. And in typical Ryland fashion, he crafted an incredibly engrossing universe of fictional fighters and organizations that proved more enjoyable than any real-world oriented mod. The end result, World of Mixed Martial Arts (or WMMA), was a fantastic debut text-sim title that enabled players to take on the role of a president/organizer like Dana White rather than that of a caged (or ringed) competitor.Īll in all, WMMA was a fun and polished game that possessed enough modifiable and customizable elements to appeal to all factions of MMA fans, whether they mainly supported the UFC or were fans of foreign/smaller organizations such as DREAM, Strikeforce, WEC or others. That is until 2007, when Adam Ryland, the famed creator of the wrestling-based text-sim games Extreme Warfare, Extreme Warfare Revenge and Total Extreme Wrestling, decided to try his hand at another, perhaps more legitimate form of athletic fighting competition. Other than that, the cupboard had remained remarkably empty. ![]() Unfortunately, although the actual matches are often entertaining to watch, gamers have not had many entertaining MMA games to play - the sole exceptions being the excellent Pride FC game released for the PS2, and perhaps the first UFC game released for the Dreamcast. With tons of fans and fighters coming from all parts of the globe, MMA has now evolved to the point where elite fighters such as Fedor Emelianenko, Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre are recognized and regarded as celebrities on the level of other professional athletes in the NBA, EPL, F1 and beyond. At the end of next year, when we ring in the end of the decade, we may well reminisce upon it as the time when the sport of mixed martial arts really blew up and exploded onto the mainstream map. ![]()
