Fire Pro Wrestling A (Japan)

The Western version of Fire Pro Wrestling on GBA, this title brings to handheld the deepest wrestling system of its time, based on rigorous timing of moves rather than frantic action. Mastering the rhythm and reading the opponent offer a unique satisfaction, rounded out by a generous wrestler editor. The graphical austerity and the demanding learning curve will put off arcade wrestling fans. For a wrestling simulation devotee or someone curious about an offbeat, deep system, the title keeps a lasting interest and a gratifying demand.
