Aki and Bandai take wrestling games to their looniest extremes. We'll have whatever they're having, bartender.
Ultimate Muscle, based on the Fox cartoon, may be the silliest thing to happen to wrestling since the ECW hit America's public-access airwaves a decade ago. Anyone who likes realism in their wrestlers should just stop reading right now?the 20 fighters in this title have a move set that transcends "strange" and saunters confidently into the realm of "insane."The Japanese version was very obviously an Aki production?the controls were a snap to learn (despite the GameCube?s clumsy controller), and the animation was straight-on good stuff (despite the less-than-perfect cel-shade job on the graphics). You could even collect old M.U.S.C.L.E. figures with the coins you earned in battle?an extra that will send twentysomething males into raging fits of nostalgia.
