Enough can not be said about this game, it's simply a wrestling fans dream...I've had this title for over a year now and I still can't stop playing it..
Every grapple and move in the game is based on timing, not only that but you have to wear down your opponent before executing a big move (like a powerbomb) this requires some strategy and can be frustrating to most people new with the Firepro series.
The copy write issue with the organizations are the only thing out of place..so you might see a wrestler that resembles Sting but is named "Spike"..and a promotion like NOAH that's called NOVA..
The 2D sprites are fluid and make it feel like a wrestling match..just watching the computer go against each other puts me on the edge of my seat sometimes..the counters are smooth and the finishes can be unpredictable at times..
The move set is almost endless for the edit mode "create a wrestler", just as well as the attire. If you have the imagination you can make just about anyone..and I mean..ANYONE.. not to mention the fact of making titles..AND wrestling rings
Once you get used to the controls,make a few wrestlers of your own ,and do a little renaming prepare yourself for an event of a lifetime.. if you're a real wrestling fan and mark out at the thought of Sting facing Bret Hart only to face Andre The Giant in a barbed wire death match later that night.. then this game is for you...

Forget THQ/Yukes !!!

Fire pro is great wrestling game. It has a ton of great modes that blow WWE games out of the water. In terms of graphics, dont expect a masterpiece, the game uses sprites and do a good job. Gameplay and modes is where this game really shines. For casual (pick up and play) gamers this my not appeal, as controls take time and patience to master. For hardcore bloodthirsty wrestlng fans this is right up your alley with barbedwire matches, exploding cage matches and much more. Finally the creation modes. You can create a ring, ring logo, and edit or create any wrestler from the past of present. You can also use the create a belt feature and battle for the title. PLEASE BUY THIS!!
Unfortunately there are those of you who will shun this game due to it's graphics not being those of THQ wrestling games. Well guess what, this game isn't about graphics, this game is about playability, fun, and greatness. This series has been around for years, and probably has one of the best fan followings around.
