3.0 out of 5 stars Decent but with quirks that I dislike, December 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This at Home (Video Game)

Gameplay is fun, takes a little getting used to, however the game had some quirks that I found very annoying. Now for the die hard fighting game fan, this could quite possibly be right up your alley, it is very challenging.

Like one reviewer wrote, you start out getting your a## beat. And the difficulty settings do not seem to make any impact on how tough the computer plays. If your energy is running low at the end of a fight, then it is guaranteed that you will have your a## handed to you with a supermove by the computer. Annoyingly predictable. Too add insult to injury, after you have worked hard to beat an opponent and then get beat by the next opponent, gameplay gets reset to the beginning of the level where you have to play against the person you just beat again.

Had potential, a worthy renter, but definitely not a keeper.

Wow. In one word I've managed to sum up everything I think about BACKYARD WRESTLING: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME... WOW. The game has totally blown me away. From fully interactive environments that all you to climb, pick-up, or use just about everything in the game to the most realistic usage of blood-letting I've ever seen in a wrestling video game to real life hardcore wrestling icons like SABU and MAD MAN PONDO--- this game has it all!

The soundtrack alone, featuring over 41 tracks from bands of all sorts of different music genres, shows that EIDOS had an idea to try something new and fresh with their new video game franchise. Do they ever deliver!

Out with the old, tired, and bland style of wrestling video game play and in with this amazing title. Brawls a plenty and a game that has kept myself and all my friends transfixed for the past week.

If you like wrestling, brawling, fighting games, blood, guts, gore, and/or fun--- then this game is for you. I mean, where else can you DESTROY~! the INSANE CLOWN POSSE on a regular basis?

Thumbs up. Highly recommended!

I have to admit I wasn't interested in the game when I first saw it, but now, I can't stop playing it! My friend brougth it over a few nights ago, and I got up early and bought it the next day!

It's a very fun game, there's tons to do, there's lots of weapons to use and manipulate. It's all really well done to me.

The soundtrack's HUGE. I got a copy of the SDTK for oredering and it's 2 CDs PACKED with songs.

ICP's in it, MDogg20, SABU~!, Josh Prohibition are all in it as well. It's a great game to play solo, or with friends. It won't disappoint. Give it a shot.
