Dreamcast Wrestling games start to heat up

Two of the most popular videogame genres are driving games and beat-em-ups. The multi-player competition and action is enough to ensnare any self-respecting game-player. Wrestling games have recently come into their own, with THQ’s massively successful Smackdown series showing just how good these games can be. Smackdown was just the start, the wrestling scene is on fire and things are going to get even hotter.

There are a couple of juicy details regarding Fire Pro that are going to make your mouth water. For the first time a wrestling game is going to feature eight wrestlers going at it simultaneously. This will feature as part of the Battle Royal mode. Just as exciting is the network functionality that FirePro Wrestling will offer. Regardless of where you live or what time it is, you will be able to find someone else to challenge. Spike has plans to run a monthly competition over the Internet to see who is the best at their game. Not only will you be playing for pride, but prizes are expected to go the winner.

The characters in the game will be customisable and new characters will be available to download after the game is released. Another innovative feature of FirePro Wrestling is the ability to download new techniques and moves for your character. It is this level of thought and innovation that will ensure that you don’t tire of FirePro anytime soon. Another great feature of the FirePro game is the Mortal Combat mode. A friendly tip of the hat to Midway, no doubt. In this mode, your wrestlers sport weapons and things could get very nasty. We’ll bring you a European launch date as soon as possible. Oh yes, this game is looking good.
