You can look online for folks that have created new logos, belts, referees, etc for UFC, WWE and TNA, so through various means you can add them to your game. After these characters are dealt with, you have room for an additional 500 characters, making this roster clock in at around 800+ fully maxed.
The online community has compiled lists at various places to aid with this conversion, and albeit not necessary, makes the game that much more fun. After a simple edit, you have a fully renamed character. For example, once you boot up the game, a character like Terry Funk is initially named “Kerry Texan”. This is done so that they can make these games full of wrestlers to aid in the creation of dream matches without getting sued. These characters are conveniently hidden away by fake names to hide the fact that they are real people. Styles, and Sabu as well as almost any current and past Japanese wrestler that you can think of. Once you begin there are 327 pre-programmed characters including Terry Funk, Andre the Giant, A.J. This is a niche game for either huge wrestling fans or retro gamers, and that’s pretty much it.įire Pro Wrestling Returns contains the single largest roster of any wrestling game I have ever seen. Granted the younger gamers may have bleeding eyes trying to play it, but dare I say that the game may not be for them. Rather, it’s trying to improve on an already solid formula that has worked for years. Some may write of the graphics immediately as they aren’t too far removed from really good SNES graphics, but the game isn’t trying to be a WWE Smackdown Versus Raw game. With the recent retro game explosion making a lot of developers look back at what made gaming what it is today, it's pretty cool to see an “old school” wrestling game. Fire Pro Wrestling Returns for the Playstation 2 has all of this and more. In no time at all you could literally have a super roster of wrestlers from a cross section of various federations. In a previous game you could literally create any wrestler from Hulk Hogan to The Undertaker simply by changing the colors of their seemingly “made-up” original wrestlers. The main draw for me was always the inherent “ballsiness” of the series.
I remember enjoying a series of Gameboy Advance games called Fire Pro Wrestling a few years back and jumped at the chance to try out a console game in the series. As I have stated in my numerous reviews for the genre, I am an avid professional wrestling fan and love to try out any game that I can get my hands on.
