About the game:
The company behind Way of the Exploding Fist and Fighting Warrior also tried its hand at wrestling, with this game claiming to be the first 3D combat sports game, in which you can avoid the opponent by moving up or down the screen as well as left or right.
Like any fighting game worth its salt, the game can be played with one or two players. In one-player mode there are 10 opponents to take on in sequence.
The moves on offer include almost everything you'd find in real wrestling (and I don't mean WWE) - piledrivers, arm twists, body slams and turnbuckle flies, all of which are fully animated. The whole experience includes detailed multi-colour graphics and a full rock soundtrack.
About the run:
Sub 4m is totally possible to achieve, in this run I messed up the last two wrestlers, but most of the others went pretty well. There is a lot of optimization possible. It looks easy but well it isnt, I grinded quite a while to get good enemy AI pattern and also pull of all the moves at the right time.
Still in my opinon this is a cool game for its time, also the music does not annoy you.
