The whole game is very fine with me, displaying any wrestling league from Japan, and a few from the American-Mexican & MMA world. All the typical legendary FPW gameplay is there, plus new moves. Loved the hardcore death matches and classic wrestling stuff, plus, it's real interesting to have american legends who wrestled regularly in some Japan promotions (like Stan Hansen in All-Japan or Olive Pro Wrestling), and the rings feel fine, ressembling to the real ones, (the American league is the colors of late '90 WCW Nitro). The Edit mode is the most complete CAW-edit mode i ever saw in wrestling games!

My 2 points that miss in this game are a championship mode and i'd like to see wrestlers wearing belts at entrances and after the matches.

And it's maybe the most underrated wrestling game in North America. Average people here always cling to WWE-TNA and typical known territory stuff!

  While the game has its fair share of positives, the amount of customization options here could have been easier to use.
