This is a great game. The cel-shded graphics are a great touch. I can't really call this a wrestling game or a fighter. It's more like a mix. They also have characters that kids submitted to magazines. You can also use these characters in create mode. You'll get hooked, even if you don't like the show.

Here's some of the bad. The voiceovers can get annoying. The story mode doesn't last that long, but the tournament mode is satisfying. Yes, this game has a few flaws, but it's still an awsome game.

A Wrestling Game Unlike Any Other!

I have seen movie clips from the Japanese version of this game and it is truely the best wrestling game ever. If you are a fan of the Ultimate Muscle cartoon on Fox Box then you must get this game. It features characters from the TV show and uses the same "cell shading" that Zelda uses to make it look like you are actually PLAYING the cartoon. The 3D effects are awesome as you can perform all the moves that the characters do on TV, including Kid Muscle's "Kinniku-Buster". You are not stuck to the ring, you can leap high into the air. There's also a feature that lets you construct your own unique wrestler. This is a game for hours of fun for every kid!

Cow and Rice Rule All!!!

This game rocks. You can be all the characters from the show. There are so many modes of play that you just have to keep coming back to play. There is a total of 20 characters which equals 20 different story mode stories. In Super Hero Olympic Mode you can create and edit a wrestler to play in versus and Super Hero modes. How can somebody who likes the show not love kid muscles rendition of the Cow n' Rice song???? Closing thoughts about Ultimate Muscle: If you don't have it buy it. If you do have it buy another copy because this game rules.

This is the Best game ever!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of the best games on GameCube, very faithful to the anime on the Fox Box with the same humor and crazy off the wall antics. It was hard to find a copy in stores where I lived so I had to come to good ol' faithful Amazon for a copy! Worth the 49.99 plus s/h. Awesome supa' moves.

the Ultimate wrestling game!

while this game is not exactly traditional 'pro-wrestling', like WWE, or any of the other wrestling circuits, it's a classic in it's own way! it strays from the 3 count pin rule, for a boxing knock-out, street fighter type of win. with an amazing arcade flavor, that even rivals any game in it's genre for any of the other systems! the sounds are top notch, nice hard smacks, and crowd ambience, and commentators too! this game is based on the anime series of the same name, and not having seen the series, this game is fun, so you don't have to be a fan to appreciate the characters! with whole selection of cool wrestlers, like 'Walrus Man', 'Kid Muscle', 'Chiwawau Man', and many others, plus you can unlock more! A character called 'Meat', throws in power-ups, which can pick up. Graphics are just clean, cel-shaded beauty, the actual gameplay looks like a cartoon! Overall this title is an amazing game for the Nintendo GameCube!!!

this game is unlike any other wrestling game. i have never seen the show and i love this game and my uncle has seen the show and he loves it too, so this game has been proven to be awesome! there are cel-shaded graphics in this game, you can create up to 40 characters, wrestle in many different rings, you can collect ultimate muscle toys out of the toy machine, play the story mode, do lots of different moves, and even trade you chacters with others! this is the ultimate wrestling game, pick up a copy now!

Great!

This is a very fun game. Imagine wrestling moves that are 100 times more brutal. Things that will never be seen in a real ring. You'll want to play this just to be in awe. Big replay value as well. 5 stars!

ok..

this game is pretty awesome. i wanted to buy this game so badly. i kept waiting and waiting but it didnt come out so while i was waiting i went to toysrus and places to play the game and it was fun playing it wit my friend, but when i actually bought the game it was awesome. until i finished the whole game. it started to get boring. it was only fun when i played in toysrus and places. there arent that much moves and specials, so it got a little boring.

Pretty good

A cel-shaded wrestling game based on an anime based on tiny collectible rubber eraser-lookin' figures from the past? Sure, why not?! Add Ultimate Muscle to the growing list (two, at last count) of wrestling games for people who don't normally like wrestling games. It boasts a fun engine, endearingly weird characters, and funny voices and sound effects, but lacks a few key customization options that keep it from becoming the ultimate champ. Ultimate Muscle is developed by AKI (Def Jam Vendetta), an elite developer that had its heyday back in the N64 era. Lots of AKI touches are here (the dynamic camera angles, fast moves, the wrestlers' Final Fantasy Summon-like ultimate moves, and the way the wrestlers sell the pain), but the fighting system is definitely a bit simpler. Some wrestlers are faster and others are slower, and some are better grapplers than others. Ultimately, though, once you know one character, you know them all-meaning Ultimate Muscle is easy to learn, but quick to get old. Some collision-detection problems make the graphics unconvincing as wrestlers' holds frequently clip through their opponents' bodies. Ultimate Muscle's Story mode is fun, enabling you to unlock a web of new characters as you play through each wrestler's weird little tale; the create-a-wrestler feature, however, isn't nearly as robust as THQ's WWE games- Ultimate Muscle's is just a mix-n-match-a-thon of 20 whacked-out coconut heads and funny naming options-but hey, at least it's there. While Ultimate Muscle isn't as good a wrestler as Def Jam, it's equally absurd in its own happy way-another solid, simple, and fun alternative to the WWE juggernaut.
