Gameplay

The PlayStation 3 version is a fitness video game that has training instruction in three separate sections from three champion UFC fighters and trainers: Mark Delagrotte, Greg Jackson, and Javier Mendez. They start with a warm up, followed by stretching, and then the workout the player has selected from the menu under their section, ending with a cool down stretching period. They give tips, instruction, and encouragement throughout the entire workout. The player can work out alone or side by side with a partner. They need to plug in the PlayStation Eye Camera and calibrate the PlayStation Move before the disc will go to the menu screen. They will need the PlayStation Leg Strap to hold the PlayStation Move in place when doing the leg exercises. The player sets up their account to their height and weight and fitness level with the use of the adjustable menu and short fitness test, which they can retake as many times as they want. They can choose to do the menu of workouts under the three UFC fighters or choose separate preset 30 or 60 day workouts or make their own customized workouts. As the player progresses, there are prizes and trophies they earn and instructional and motivational videos that they unlock. There are also separate activities they can choose for fun or as a break from their work out. The player doesn't need to be a gamer to use this program and it can be used by men or women.

The game received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[15][16][17] A GameSpot review said the Xbox 360 version offers the most exhausting workout in video games, but bugs, repetitive programmes, and overlong stretching periods cause the player to tire for the wrong reasons.[6]
