Looking at what this game has to offer, you can only stand back at the features and say wow... until you play it. There are several modes, exhibition matches (normal, cage `death match,' UFC octagon `gruesome' and a battle royal), tournaments, (up to 16 wrestlers), leagues, (up to 64 man round robin), survival which pits you in an endurance match, audience match where you need to please the audience to a wrestling style and finally the edit mode. The edit mode is the most extensive edit mode in the US (but not Japan), where you can create up to 74 of your own wrestlers with moves, intelligence, looks and attributes. One of the most astonishing things is that the game comes with 150 wrestlers from all over the world, even wrestlers from WWF, WCW, ECW, Michinoku Pro, Toryumon, AJPW, NJPW, however for copyright reasons the names and the looks of the wrestlers have been changed. After all of these amazing features, then you play the game. Ouch, it takes us back to the days of the NES in terms of graphics, sound and game play! The wrestlers are very small, the controls are very laggy and the wrestlers end up doing the same moves constantly. Please do not pay more than fifteen bucks for this game.

Not that great, but ok

I played THPS2 and Castlevania for GBA and ill tell you, this game can do better. It's graphics are crummy, gameplay aint that great eather, but its wrestling stlye of fighting is pretty well done. The multiplayer is good too.

I have the Japanese version of the game, and let me tell you, it is amazing. There are tons of wrestlers to choose from and also tons of matches. This is a game that is a must get. See Ya!

Surprisingly fun for a generic game.

Unless it is a WWF game, I usually do not play wrestling games. I find most wrestling games to be dulled down versions of fighting. Fire Pro Wrestling is definitely an exception to my usual.

FPW offers a generic line up of wrestlers. You can pick from 16 different organizations, including a free agent pool. The names on the wrestlers are pretty generic, ranging from The Bionic Man to Mauler. I was going to discount this as another bland roster until I discovered the create-a-wrestler option. This game has the most detailed create-a-wrestler I have ever seen. You are allocated 260 points, which seems more than enough at first glance. Everything you enhance on your wrestler takes points. You can customize everything from their recovery time to what attacks are their strongest. You can even customize their AI fighting style. This is definitely the best create-a-character yet.

The feel of the game is not what I expected. FPW reverts to the old Tag Team Wrestling (NES) style of play. Pressing directions at certain times and tapping a button will determine your moves. It is a simplistic style, but also annoying when you hit the wrong button. FPW lacks the ability to run straight. You can only run in a diagonal direction, meaning that your charge moves must be very well placed. As for the graphics, I was pleased with the smoothness of motion.

Overall, I believe this is a should rent title. It is not the greatest, but there is definitely some value to the game. I liked it, but I can not see myself playing it four months from now.

avoid this game!!

I bought this thinking it would be good with all the features it was suppose to have. The only thing good about this game is the create a wrestler mode. The matches are boring and long!! Who wants to fight for 30 min!!!! You have to have perfect timing to pull off a move and you have to stop and hold L to breathe so you don't run out of breath!!! When I play a wrestling game I want to fight not to breate and not to have perfect timing!! With 150 wretlers is good but it doesn't make up for the terrible matches!! AVOID THIS GAME NO MATTER WHAT!!!

It's good, but it looks like it should be for GBC

Only hard-core fans of pay-per veiw fights will want to go to the mat with Bam!'s graphically overwhelming mix of wrestling, UFC, martial arts, choppy animation and sluggish controls. The brawler boasts tons of muscle-bound moves and over 200 wrestlers,
but aside from it's four player battle royale mode FPW looks like it should be for GBC instead of GBA.

A first generation classic

To put it bluntly this game is awsome. First off you have basically three wrestling/fighting organizations in one (unofficially) those being WWF, ECW, and UFC. The game alone starts off with 64 wrestlers (a huge amount). There are also five hidden. THere are 10 arenas, ten matt covers, and four types of mathces. Those are Single, Tag Team, Hardcore, and Gruesome.
Than under exhibition we have three options, normal, Gruesome (the octagon UFC) and Deathmach (Electrified Steel Cage). Now get this, there are ten organiztions, you can make up to 72 more stables, and 64 create-a-wrestlers, that leads to a total of 132 wrestlers total. that is a lot for one gameboy advance cart.
Overall if you are a wrestling fan, I say go for this title, you will not regret it (I made a cheap parody of Hulk Hogan called Bulk Bogan) that is pretty cool.

Not impressed as I thought I would be

Graphics are pretty straightforward. Gameplay is a bit twitchy. And if you want to play against other players, they must also have the game cartridge.
