What do graphics matter when you've got decent quality violence? Time for a real honest-to-goodness classic piece of slap and cripple. The Japanese wrestling series Fire Pro seems obscure next to big names like Ready 2 Rumble or WWF Smackdown, but they really were the pioneering wrestling videogames. In this first foray into GBA territory, 3DO has reverted to 2D action, using the space on the cart that could have been filled up with lustreless 3D design to give the player hours of endless link-up fun, and some really mind-blowing extras

Big Sweaty Men

Over 200 ready-made wrestlers versed in jujitsu, kick-boxing, luchador (What? – Roy) and many other wrestling styles appear on this minuscule cartridge. You won't have heard of any of the fighters, not being Japanese and all, but that won't stop you getting hooked on their showmanship and scrapping skills. The graphics owe a lot to the SNES Fire Pro titles, but that's not important. In fact, it still means that they're lifelike and boast highly complex animation. Which is nice.

This title's real bonus is the create-a-wrestler feature, in which you can customise every detail of your wrestler's look, perfect his move set and align him with one of the game's factions, making him a showman, a dirty fighter or whatever you desire. Combined with the four-player link-up option, this means that you and three mates can create fighters to resemble yourselves, and then pummel the living eyeballs out of each other from the comfort of your own dungeon. There's just so much in this game, we can't fit it all onto one page. Forget flashy rendered graphics – this is a bargain at 35 quid, and will mean you won't have to buy another fighting game for a long time. “There's just so much in this game, we can't fit it all onto one page.”

Pros

  • Link-up action allows you to pummel your mates in comfort
  • There's some great options and personalised features

Cons

  • The graphics aren't what you'd really expect from the GBA
  • Controls are a bit tricky

"Not being a massive fan of all that WWF nonsense, my hopes were'nt high for this 2D GBA grappler. I have to say it's quite a good laugh though, with loads of decent options to play about with. On the whole, Fire Pro Wrestling's a decent little game. - Alex Jones"
