Ok, well it's not the worst wrestling game ever, it's the 2nd worst. Backyard Wrestling 2 is the worst. But you may be asking, why does this game suck?

Well, first of all, bad concept. Backyard Wrestling in real life is stupid. It's just a bunch of morons...oops, i mean "wrestlers" beating the living **** out of each other with dangerous weapons and whatever's around. And usually in real life, the people who backyard wrestle are under 18 years old.

Next, how is the gameplay you may ask? Simple, PAINFUL! The buttons (I swear the God) are not responsive at all. Press punch button 5 times, you'll punch once. Press grapple button 8 times, you'll grapple once. Sad.

Graphics, I hate to admit it,...wait no I don't: the graphics are below mediocre. Bad character models, even worst models. The characters look like they've been burned....wait a minute, they probably HAVE been burned, what was I thinking. This is one of the worst forms of "entertainment" on the planet.

Next, the story mode?...Well I mean "the mode that calles itself Story Mode" What story is there? None really, its a "talk show mode". Don't laugh yet. it shows a cutscene of a talkshow (WOW!) then you play a couple random matches. If you manager to get past the abysmal gameplay, you'll beat these guys. Then you get another cutscene, more random matches. Seeing a pattenr here?

Next, exhibition mode/multiplayer mode. One problem, I wouldn't want to have my worst enemy play this game, let alone a close friend. So scratch this out.

Well, theres also some unlockables in the game, but then again, you need to win matches in order to get these. Really not worth it.

So should you get this no. Answer: No! I'd rather hit my head on the wall then play this again.

    Backyard Wrestling when it first came out was a fun game. I am a huge fan of Insane Clown Posse so I went and gobbled that game up at the $50. The game had some fun moments just beating the hell out of people and using... Read Full Review

    Good game for a Juggalo, but not so good for a normal gamer.

    It really depends on who you are for your enjoyment level of this game. As a juggalo, you'll enjoy being able to play as the ICP, Twiztid, and other JCW members. As a normal gamer, you'll probably be disapointed by the p... Read Full Review
