EA Sports UFC 5 is the fifth installment in a series of MMA-focused sports games originating from 2014. It's officially licensed by UFC and was developed by EA Sports.
The gameplay of EA Sports UFC 5 focuses on fights. Though the game is highly arcade, the developers did their best to make the fights look as realistic as possible. To succeed we must learn our opponents' strengths and weaknesses, developing a combat style capable of exploiting both. As befitting a licensed game, it features actual, real-life fighters. Some legendary fighters, like Muhammad Ali, also make an appearance.
The game features a brand new body damage system. Injuries taken by the fighters affect their mobility, defense and stamina. Too much damage may result in a doctor's intervention, who'll decide whether the injured fighter can keep going. Grounded combat was also improved, being smoother and more realistic. Knock-outs are replayed, letting us get a closer look at the effective, impressive finishing moves.
EA Sports UFC 5 supports singleplayer, as well as local and online multiplayer.
EA Sports UFC 5 runs on the Frostbite engine. The character models are full of detail and the animations are very realistic.

Game Ratings for EA Sports UFC 5 Video Game.
GamingTrend: 85 / 100 by Ron Burke
Moving to Frostbite makes UFC 5 look better than ever in the ring. The new ground game system is a welcome addition, but some odd bugs and occasional presentation problems make UFC 5 a win, but by split decision.
GamingBolt: 7 / 10 by Ravi Sinha
EA Sports UFC 5 is a solid, if not particularly inventive, follow-up in the series. It can be fun, warts and all, but long-time fans will want for more.
CGMagazine: 8.5 / 10 by Philip Watson
UFC 5 is a must buy for fight fans and an easy entry point for newcomers to get into the action.
