Fire Pro Wrestling 2

"Yawn, Nothing Has Really Changed"

Ok is this game really worth buying, I mean there isn't really much of a change.

Graphics - 7/10

Come on!! what did you really expect. Its the same old 2D graphics with a few little improvements here and there but nothing big.

Control - 8.5/10

Pretty much the same as Fire Pro 1. B for weak moves, A for medium, and AB for powerful moves.

Game Play - 3/10

Ok this is what really throws me off. Absolutely the same as Fire Pro 1. Same match types, same everything. They could have thrown in a few new modes so it would have a little bit of a meaning. Unless you have the Japanese version it is the same. Now if you have the Japanese version and can read it give the game play a 10/10. The management of the ring mode is worth it. Going through a career with the person of your choice making feuds, partners, it is great. One question why couldn't they have put this in the AMERICAN version. In the American version you get iron man mode which is fighting various wrestles in a row with no point. WOW sounds fun...

CAW Mode - 10/10

Best CAW mode ever... maybe. It is the same as Fire Pro 1 with a few upgrades. 10 more heads, bikini top, and maybe a few other things I haven't noticed. A few new moves, and over thousands to chose from you cant go wrong with this CAW system. Oh yeah, there are 77 CAW spaces!!!!! Ok I got to admit this is the BEST CAW MODE EVER!!!!

Fun Factor - 9/10

Even though this game pretty much the same as Fire Pro 1 you have got to love it. Being your favorite wrestler and beating the crap out of your most hated wrestlers. It is the greatest. Out of all the gameboy wrestling games this one is easily the most fun. I can sit and play for hour after hour without even noticing time has gone by.

The BAD Points

There are a few bad pints to this game here they are.

- NO American Wrestlers, you have to create them all
- Same game modes as Fire Pro 1
- 2D graphics, but for 2D they are pretty good
- It is a bit too easy

Otherwise there are not many flaws in this game.

Buy/Rent/Forget About It

Buy this game even if you own Fire Pro 1. It only cost 10 freakin bucks. Why not spend $10 for the upgrades they give it is worth it I guess.

BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY this game!!!!!!

Overall rating 8/10
