Fire Pro Wrestling Returns for PlayStation 2 Reviews by Gamers

Look iv'e played many wrestling games since the original Pro Wrestling on the nes, but this is the first time in a while iv'e had so much fun in a wrestling game since wrestlemania 2000 and wcw vs. nwo revange on the n64 days. I'm not saying this game is intended for all wrestling fans. This game is only for hardcore fans or old-school gamers that use to watch wrestling throughout the 90's (wcw and wwf era). Now you may notice that the graphics may look a bit outdated but that is how the fire pro series is suppose to look, it is like saying why isn't SNK's metal slug in 3d. With that being said the gameplay is something that even todays wrestling titles cant accomplish (Raw vs. smackdown series), there is so much depth to this game that I cannot describe it all in this review. Though I must admit the controls can take a while to get use to. Also for those concerned about the wrestlers you can just simply download wrestling packs on the internet that will remain all your wrestlers and provide with an additional 200+ wrestlers (you can view it as free DLC for the game that updates the roster), in the japanese version there was on option in the game where you can do this through the game itself but I think they excluded it in the U.S. to avoid lawsuits, so you now do it manually through the internet. I am happy that they brought the series in the U.S. since I liked playing fire pro wrestling d on the dreamcast.
