There are 26 wrestlers available from the start, all of whom you have probably never heard of before. Though you're given the option of selecting your opponent and a custom ring, there's not much else in terms of customizing a match ¿ don't expect any weapons, cage matches, or tag-team rounds. Then again, being placed put in a double leg-lock by Shinya "I will crush you" Hashimoto would be infinitely more enjoyable than having to trudge through the torturous mess that is ASPW.įrom the start of the game, you're given access to a handful of gameplay modes ¿ under the "Match Make" menu, you can fight for the title bout in different weight divisions, or go for the belt in a tournament. Japanese wrestling is a lot like American wrestling ¿ only there's a lot more blood, less T&A, and the audience is much too modest to hold up signs with such witticisms as "SUCK IT" and "CHYNA IS MY DAD." The majority of Japanese wrestlers are true badasses who possess remarkable real-life shootfighting and Vale Tudo abilities, and if a "Pro-resura" stops you on the street and asks you for your wallet, you hand that sucker over and give him a smile. Don the gas masks, kids ¿ it's time to crack open the All-Japan Pro Wrestling box, and you'll want to protect yourself from the ungodly stink.įirst things first: ASPW is based on one of the largest Japanese wrestling leagues, which is surprisingly entertaining. Yes, this is truly a development team that knows how to harness the insane power of the PlayStation 2, model real-life wrestlers with incredible accuracy, and create a gameplay experience as invigorating as digging wax out of your ears. However, prized developer DreamFactory was hard at work making a game out of The Bouncer, so Square was forced to give All-Japan Pro Wrestling to an in-house group.
