by Rainier on Jan. 28, 2003 @ 10:14 a.m. PST

Pride FC pits the top fighters in the world from several different combative sports including wrestling, karate, judo, kick-boxing, and others into one ring under the same rules. The philosophy of Pride, known as ValeTudo, is the acceptance of any technique of any school of combat. Pride is the survival of the strongest. Not the strongest in a specific genre, but the strongest of all combative sports, period.

Pride FC is the most realistic “No Holds Barred” fighting videogame for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. Fighters are accurately recreated in amazing detail with appearance, likeness, fighting style, movements and signature ring entrances. Various combat elements including multiple fighting positions, unique fighting styles, hundreds of moves, counters and reversals capture the intensity and authenticity of a Pride contest. With a TV-style presentation, each match-up comes to life in fully scaled arenas complete with ring announcers, lighting, pyrotechnics and realistic camera angles.
