Although it looks like the GBA game, its completely different.

Youre just slating the graphics here, but that 2D style is what Fire Pro is. Its much better than any of the 3D wrestling games of today. Def Jam Vendetta comes close in terms of gameplay and has got nice 3D graphics, but its still not better than FPWZ.

Dont get me wrong, I love the other games just as much. Smackdown and Wrestlemania. But FPWZ just clears everything with ease.

As everyone says, you shouldnt judge the game by its graphics. When you said you didnt think a wrestling game would work with 2D graphics... well... this one surely does.

Hercules I just saw the videos and I pictured the game to be completely different. That game looks just like a GBA game, so much more could be done with the power of the PS2 or Gamecube. Oh well as long as you like the game you have there's no problem.

Yes, it *is* on the MegaDrive. But one that they did years ago. Less wrestlers/matches/moves/options etc though.

I dont mind if you prefer the inferior wrestling games... I know that ive got the best available.

Yay me.

Actually, its not entirely 2D, just the wrestlers are sprites.

They look 3D a little though.

I'll go get you link to vids.

Nah, I ain't I just don't think 2d would suit a wrestling game. I've got loads of games that are 2D and have played the 2d wrestling games on GBA and didn't like it much. Any video footage I can watch?

Oh it's 2d? Bah, don't think I'll be getting it then, and what's the gaycube? Some cheap rip off that Sony made?

AliBoy - I am a phoney... FREE! You could get it from any PS2 import site or could try eBay. Its only availible in Japan... and its mostly Japanese text... But a damn fine game!
(By the way, I really did vote for you)
:oD

Ant - The 2D graphics make way for thousands of moves with smooth animation, hundreds of wrestlers and everything else I mentioned. Dont think youd see that in a Smackdown any time soon.

Ner nerrr.
