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!

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!

The Best!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I like to have my rice with cow cow cow! It tastes...

Ultimate Muscle is one of the better wrestlers I've played. Perhaps its greatest advantage over others is its speed. But it suffers from general wrestling game disease. While there is some skill involved in timing blocks and grapples just right, the game is hampered by an interface that requires too little from the player. I get tired of having to stop the action to watch a move neither player has any control over. I shouldn't be too hard on the game, however. It is fun, and with other players, it can be quite frantic. But this creates another problem: the only player having fun is the one winning. Getting the crap beat out of you is frustrating, and it happens a lot. But if you like wrestling games, Ultimate Muscle isn't bad. Yet if you're like me, you'll find more enjoyment in senseless beating with Super Smash Bros.

BEST WRESTLING GAME EVER!

This game is so awesome from the moment I picked it up to the moment I played it. Even if you don't have a Gamecube buy this game so you can just look at it! Then of course get a Gamecube because this game is sooo worth it.
