Getting this timing down is initially quite the flustering experience, but once you get it, you get it, and it becomes second nature. There is a very precise timing to it-essentially, the moment the wrestler's hands start to touch, it's time to go. But getting it first doesn't mean you should start smashing buttons the second you start to lock up. Any time you go face-to-face with an opposing wrestler, a grapple is automatically initiated, and the player to hit his move first, gets it. The basic moves are executed much as other modern wrestlers, where you simply press a direction on the D pad in conjunction with one of the face buttons on the controller to pull out a specific type of move. The gameplay revolves around a grappling system that is extremely focused on precise and careful timing. This is not a button masher, and if you try to play it as one, you will only frustrate yourself immensely. The gameplay seems extremely simple at first-that is, until you jump into your first match and get destroyed by the artificial intelligence.
If the notion of a 2D wrestling game on your PlayStation 2 hasn't already sent you running, screaming for the hills, you'll be happy to hear that despite the archaic look of the game, it's still one of the deepest and most enjoyable pure wrestlers out there. The music isn't much better, sounding roughly like what would happen if Kenny Loggins got ahold of a busted keyboard. It's just a very old-looking game, and little has been done over the years to jazz up the visuals in any capacity. By no means are the visuals terrible: If this were a SNES game, it'd be one of the best-looking games on the system, in fact. Yes, all the graphics are 2D, with all the sprite-based wrestler models and somewhat choppy animations that go along with two-dimensional visuals. What you need to know is that Fire Pro Returns harks back to a much, much older era of wrestling games. But let's assume that you haven't been importing these games over the years and, at best, only know the GBA games. In fact, if you're one of the people who imported any of the previous games in the series, you'll feel right at home here because few, if any major aspects of the game, have really changed, apart from the sudden use of the English language in all the various menu screens. Hey, is that Sting? And Kevin Nash? Did we just time warp into a WCW game from the mid-90s? Or last weekend's TNA pay-per-view? Oh well, same difference.įire Pro Returns is much like its many, many predecessors. But even for all its peculiarities, Fire Pro's enjoyable gameplay, as well as nifty roster of modes and features, make it worth a look for wrestling fans hunting for something a bit different.

With its decidedly ancient graphics, arcane menus, deceptively complex gameplay, and roster of largely unfamiliar wrestlers, Fire Pro Returns practically screams "go away!" to anyone who likes easy to pick up wrestling games that are full of familiar faces. Granted, this game is kind of a tough sale. Publisher Agetec has brought Fire Pro Wrestling Returns to North American PlayStation 2s, and at the discount rate of $14.99 at that. None of those console games have come to the US-that is, until now.

This series has existed since the TurboGrafx era in Japan, with multiple entries appearing on that console, as well as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, and PlayStation 2. Fire Pro Wrestling has a much longer and storied history than the pair of GBA titles that have come to North America.
