Eidos pulls the controversial sport out of the backyard and hurls it into your living room.
You?ve all seen the footage?everyday kids flying off rooftops, smashing each other with chairs, or tossing each other onto flaming tables. Now Eidos brings the controversial ?sport? out of the backyard and into your living room in BackYard Wrestling: Don?t Try This At Home--in fact, the game was revealed at an event in Los Angeles just yesterday.BYW will feature characters based on real-life backyard wrestlers and grapplers from Insane Clown Posse?s wrestling fed, the JCW. If you haven?t heard of Josh Prohibition, M-dogg20, or Madman Pondo, you will. ICP?s Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope will be playable characters in the game, too, so you can finally live your dream of beating the hell out of them, as well.
More than just the sensational theme of the game, BYW promises to be a different wrestling title than you?re used to. Fully interactive arenas filled with weapons and hazards await, as does a fighting system that relies on timing more than bashing buttons. Anything you see in a level can be used against your opponent. Keep an eye out for more on BYW as it nears release this summer.
