This Game Is Awesome!!! This game has over 200 pre made wrestlers with different styles like technical, hardcore, and luchador, plus more. There are six different match types. They are: Audience Match- In this match you try to impress the crowd by doing big moves aqnd showboating. The more you do the more points you get. The more points you have the higher you get in the rankings. Survival Match- Similar to WWF's SlobberKnocker bouts. You fight 10 people in a single strech. One Night Match- Just an exibition match. You can choose from single, tag team, battle royal, Mortal Combat (weapons in the ring), and octagon style matches similar to Ultimate Fighting Championship. One Night Tournament- 16 wrestlers fight in a tournament in one night. Open Leauge- Same as one night except the tournement lasts several nights. Elimination Match- Similar to WWF's survival series. This game also has create a player mode so your limitations are endless. And of course the graphics are outstanding because its on GameBoy Advance. Get this game!

This game is not as good as expected

Alright first off, the game itself has come under the eye of many hardcore import sega saturn fans that have played the game since it's conception oh so long ago. This is not a normal wrestling game, button mashing will get you next to nowhere. My friends and I are big fans of Fire Pro Wrestling D for the Dreamcast. The timing on the throws is obscenely annoying if you are a noob to the series, otherwise you should fit right in. Also, the hit detection is not very good, but it's what you should expect from the series. The real savior of this cartridge is the same thing that has saved FPW from total extinction, the time honored charm and the in depth character design. The create-a-wrestler is blatantly picky, yet it still remains fun. In conclusion, if you like the series, or are willing to try something thats terribly different from a cliched JAKKS pacific wrestling game, pick this up. Hey, it's portable.

Surprisingly little hype for such a runaway hit

FirePro wrestling has a long history in Japan as one of the premier wrestling titles available there. Finally, for the first time ever, it is seeing a USA domestic release on Nintendo's GBA. There are no fancy 3D theatrics here, the action is all 2D, but make no mistake: this game is HUGE. Just check out the roster of wrestlers (and be sure to spot your faves from the WWF, old WCW, and dead ECW, all with names changed to avoid legal wranglings,) the extensive list of moves, the range of match types, and TRY not to drool all over your ring boots.

Honestly, this game has everything. It is tremendously fun, while at the same time being very deep. Don't let the multitudes of poor wrestling games released over the past few years cause you to miss this one. It will be a classic. And along with Tony Hawk 2, comprises the ultimate duo of must-have action titles for the GBA launch.

Best wrestling game ever!

In terms of options and playability this is the best wrestling game ever. The ability to make your own wrestler or modify the ones that exist is great you can go as far as to make a roster full of WWF and WCW stars! Pick a ring any ring from electric ropes to steel cage to battle royal! AND the sptites of the wrestlers are easy to recognize. The moves are eaasy to pull off and finally the button pressing fool you play against will loose since it's based on timing not who pushed what first. I love this game and only The Giant Gram series (japanese import for Sega dreamcast)can be held in the same light. This and F-zero are must buy games for this little system.

Better than WCW and WWF Wrestling games .

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.

First wrestler for GBA is a blast!

Finally the Advance Gameboy is here, and the first wrestler available is Firepro. I have heard much about the series of wreslting titles, and I must say this is a good wrestling game. With a gameplay style a tad different than fighting games I am used to, Firepro is a title that rewards timing and patience. It comes with many wrestlers, and has an extremely indepth create-a-wrestler function. Styles range from typical american pro wrestler to ultimate fighting style, so the type of character you make can have quite a range.

On the downside, the game has no championship mode, where the player would play a "storyline" mode. This seriously hampers replay value, as players are left to fight one-on-one matches without any serious reward. Also, unlike some of the other released games where you could have 4 players play off of one cartridge, Firepro demans that each player have a seperate cartridge as well.

All in all, a good start for the Advance. A good solid wrestler that will have you learning the ins and outs for a while.
