My first thought, was hey that's a wcw game. How wrong I was, but it looks like they weren't even trying to make these wrestlers original. Oh well, its like that old saying, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

  +TheCompletionist Actually bud its not so much "imitation" as it is licensing issues. The Fire Pro games feature A LOT of characters from many different promotions (ZERO-1, Michinoku Pro, Dragon Gate, All Japan, New Japan etc.) and because of that the companies aren't allowed to use the names a lot of the time. The games usually include a rename option (Fire Pro Returns does this) so that the wrestlers can be renamed properly. They also allowed people to make packs and upload them to a site called "fireproclub" which I think is gone now but I can tell you that these games are a lot of fun and once you play one of these trying to play a WWE is hard because of the speed. Its like 10x faster than a WWE game for sure.

  Yeah, I guess when you're trying to get every major wrestler from the day into a game this is probably the smartest way to go about it. Like Josh said, you can edit the names of the wrestlers to reflect their real life counterparts and even put them into stables together. I guess I should have mentioned that. :b

  It is, just gotta look past the lackluster graphics.

  +KidShoryuken I've always enjoyed sprite-based games more than most 3D counterparts, so the movements and look of the characters is pretty good in that regard. Then again, I'm comparing this to, say, the SNES version of WWF Raw.
  
  Still though, something that I will have to keep my eye out for at the local shop.
  
  Also...lol@Revin Cash.

  +sykodx469 I've got plenty more import wrestling games across a few systems that I'm considering reviewing, some sprite based, some 3D and all awesome.

  For sure, I would have loved to play some of the FPW games when I was a kid, I played a lot of 16 and 32 bit wrestling games.

  Yeah, very modest in the graphics department but a lot of fun and potentially very time consuming.

Do they all moonwalk like that during their entrance(s) 🙂
Definately looks like it has more depth than at first glace though. Nice one.
Do you like a bit of face punching of an evening Jim? (to watch I mean!)

  Yes, endless moon walking.
  There's quite a lot to the gameplay in the FPW series, some people are turned off by the simple looking graphics but it really is a lot of fun.
  I used to like wrestling and MMA a lot when I was a teen, not so much these days. Well, I still like the Japanese promotions but I don't care for WWE, don't really care to watch MMA either but I do still catch a bit of boxing from time to time.

  I suppose the pro wrestling thing is a rite of passage in many ways - in some countries at least.
  I was quite into boxing as a young un', moved towards K1 / kickboxing and Pride (yay Japan) and now enjoy MMA - although don't like the 'undesirable' meathead element, nor the celebrity obsessed glitz that pushes MMA to believe it will make more money being like pro wrestling (CM Punk, just ugh!). I do watch boxing but some boxing matches are terribly boring (yes Mayweather, talking about you) and it reminds me why I abandoned the sport years ago...
  
  Don't get me wrong pro wrestling is fine for what it is - but that kind of thing should only play a minor part in the sport of MMA imo!
  Having said that its great fun on a console, if you play the right iteration.
  
  Oh, if you want a tip what I think will be a great MMA event, try the British Invasion card for Bellator coming up in Feb 27th.

  genocide_cutter The Gamecube and N64 WWE/WCW games are arguably better, but FPW is still amazing!
