Simpson's Wrestling

First,let me say,Its good to have a Simpson's game on the Playstation. And this is a good game,especially for the Simpson's fans. The audio is witty,with lots of dialogue created just for this game. There are many possible charachters. BUT.. There just seems like there was so much more possibility. Why are there no 'out of ring' moves? At the least, you should be able to jump from the top rope,instead of just jumping up and down on a charachter's head. The graphics are a minus,also, not up to usual PSX standards. More for the Simpsons fans,less for the wrestling or general fight game fan

For Fans only

This game is hilarious and was worth my money...BUT its only for the hardcore Simpsons fans such as myself. The voices are great...the graphics are a little edgy but good but its the details that make it all good. When looking at the backrounds you can see everyone watching from Dr Nick Riviera to Ralph. Everyone has funny moves that relates to their charactor too. Buy it if you love the Simpsons...Rent it if you like them and dont waste your time if you cant stand them.

What do you get when you put the cast of "The Simpsons" in a wrestling ring?

Hilarity.

"Simpson's Wrestling" (PlayStation) is a welcome addition to the crowded line of wrestling video games. What sets this game apart from the rest is the inventive moves and weapons, and witty commentary by the show's actual voice actors.

Even if you've upgraded to the PlayStation 2, this is still a fun game to play with your friends. The only shortcoming is that's not a very entertaining one-player game, but I suppose that's true with most sports video games.

Tired of boring old head-locks and Full Nelsons? Well, this is the game for you. Just wait until you take a beating from Groundskeeper Willie's swinging rake. Or see what happens when you catch a whiff of Barney's beer-drenched burp. The most devastating move is Homer's spinning fists of fury - get tagged by one of these babies and you're in a world of hurt.

So, if you're longing for the days of Nintendo's "Pro Wrestling", and Starman's sweet summersault head-kick, you should add "Simpson's Wrestling" to your collection today!

SIMPSONS WRESTLING--A MEDIOCRE TITLE

yes, being a Simpsons fan and also wrestling, I figured I couldn't lose. I just picked it up today. OK. Its a PS one game and plays good on my PS 2, but--The graphics are reminiscent of Sega Genesis, if you can believe that. The quality is overall just OK. Gameplay is somewhat redundant too, it is fun but its the same thing over and over. It sure is cool that you can be characters like Barney though. OK, so everything is pretty mediocre I guess I am just spoiled on graphics like in SSX and ZOE. Do I recommend it? Yeah, because its a Simpsons game after all. The sound bites are pretty damn funny. Is it worth 40 bucks? well I wouldnt go THAT far. But its pretty fun. I don't regret getting it. Maybe you could rent it and see for yourself.

This game is fun if you are a die-hard Simpsons fan! I totally enjoyed seeing the different characters and their signature moves. However, the AI in this game is ruthless, and no matter how hard you play, the computer always wins! I suggest you grab a friend and play this game, human vs. human, because you will have a lot more fun. I am one of the biggest Simpsons fans, and I believe that if you are one, too, you should own this game.

One of the best Simpsons games yet

Unlike most games, Simpsons Wrestling gets more fun the more you play. As you mature in playing the game, you'll learn how to grapple, do moves off the ropes, and take advantage of your taunts. it is especially fun to play with friends. You start the game as a new challenger and can pick from eight players (Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa, Krusty, Groundskeeper Willy, Apu, and Barney). After beating these players, you go on to fighting hidden players such as the Bumblebee Man, Flanders, Professer Frink, and Moe. The hardest fighters to beat are th two men teams. (Mr. Burns and Smithers, Kang and Kodos, and Itchy and Scratchy) It's twice as hard to beat them because they both fight you. Each player has different moves. The simpliest move needs the least energy while the hardest move needs the most energy. For example, Bart's easiest move is just a punch. Then he could hit you with a rock using a slingshot. His hardest move is when he rides a skateboard and hurts anyone he hits. Heres a code: circle,up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right. This opens a new option: Bonus Match Up. Here ou can pick your wrestler from anyone in the game, your opponents, and the arena to fight it in.

Good fun that needs work

Graphics: 8/10 - Good character designs, pictures, backgrounds and sets. Satisfying and not too blocky. One of the only areas this game fully, hard-out excels in is its bloody good graphics.

Sound: 8/10 - Great character voices as usual and some characters have neat tools like bangers or stakes which allow the sound to get carried away with a fabulous calmness.

Value: 6/10 - Not worth playing unless your getting sick of the WWF games or Crash Bash. Fun stuff, but not for everyone. I would only buy it for a under-$50 price.

Overall: 7/10 - Fun to play with a lot of people. It's is awesome to see those memorable Simpsons characters in fist-action, but this still has some things it needs to work on. I think Simpsons Wrestling needs more modes and some better designs. Still, it is good fun.

Insanity Ensues!

This game is a LOT of fun. If you're expecting a hardcore Wrestling game, this isn't it. It's more of an action/fighting game, somewhat like Power Stones or even Super Smash Brothers. Plus it's got the WHOLE cast of the Simpsons doing the voices, and some of the lines are simply hilarious. I find myself restarting matches just to hear the random dialogue lines at the beginning.

There's a decent number of moves, with grapples, off-the-rope moves, jumping attacks, in addition to the 'standard' attacks. Each attack has a 'modifier' button, so that if you're in the ropes, you hit either Square, Triangle or Circle (for low-medium-high) to get an increasingly deadly move. Same can be said for jumping attacks, and grappling attacks too. Also, you can use the Square/Tri/Circ alone to get different moves - and some of those are really REALLY funny. The 'circle' moves are different for each character, so that the characters do entirely different things: Bumblebee Man drops his chihuahua that chases you, Frink drops a gadget that pops open to make a landmine, toy exploding robot or flying missile - and it's a blast. Especially fun for 2-player action.

Go get it!

This game is sweet...

This combines the best of my two worlds. Simpsons and Wrestling. This game is so cool. There are characters to unlock and soooooo many cool moves to learn. This game is a MUST have for every Simpsons fan. -TeenHack

Simpsons Wrestling - Why does everyone hate it?

My first playstation game was the Simpsons Wrestling. I 've read all of the reviews on it, but everyone seems to hate it. I loved all parts about it, but it was a wonder I bought it at all with all of these other reviews that don't like it. I got it for 30 bucks, and it was completely worth it. I love fighting games and the simpsons both, and this was the perfect combination. Being Barney and Moe was a great experience with different places to fight, and the gas attack by Barney was clever. Find the codes somewhere, then it's even Moe(sorry , that was a stupid joke) fun. To put it short, the Simpson's Wrestling (prepare for another stupid joke) hits a Homer.
