Not only old-school for its graphics fashion and isometric 2D but also extremely fun for tons of moves and flexibility.

My review consists of two parts.

_/**o First Part o**\_

This is not a button smashing game like some flashy "similar games", in which people SMACK each other DOWN in a RAW chaotic environment. This is a serious tactical and strategical wrestling game. You can create even yourself with the in-built EDIT system. You can create RINGS, LOGOS, even BELT, other than as much as 500 (yes it is f-i-v-e h-u-n-d-r-e-d, 5 times 100) individual wrestlers and 4 suits and make-up for each of them.

There really is an incredible range of possibilities. There wide range of moves. Tons of grapples, smashes, kicks, aerial attacks and throws, ground moves, submissions, pin-downs.

However, the game is really hard also. You have to get the timing against several types of opponents and make a strategy for your counter-manoeuvres. It gets a long time to feel what it is like to be a real pro-wrestler. I was beaten down, thrown up&down for very long until I get what to do and how to do. There are some very useful FAQs for the game. For your own good, READ'EM.

Just go to the well-known "self-broadcasting video web site" and search for the name "Fire Pro Wrestling". Watch'em and read the reviews. You'll get what I've written about in the first part.
