For those who don't know, EA Sports UFC 2 hit the shelves back in March. That means anyone who's still unsure about buying the game now has the opportunity to try it out for a couple of hours and nab it whenever they want.
It should also be pointed out that a lot of people consider it to be one of the most realistic fighting games to land on consoles, arguably making it one of the best in the market.
"EA Sports UFC 2 innovates with stunning character likeness and animation, adds an all new Knockout Physics System and authentic gameplay features and invites all fighters to step back into the Octagon to experience the thrill of finishing the fight. From the walkout to the knockout, EA Sports UFC 2 delivers a deep, authentic and exciting experience," EA says.
