Wanna fight the brunette from the Miller Lite commercials? Don?t try this at home!
Sometimes, you have just one of those days when you want to square off against some guy, take him into the backyard, hit him with a flower pot, and lay his ass out on a flaming table before leaping onto him from the rafters of a concert stage erected nearby. If you?re having one of those days, you might want to check out Eidos?s Backyard Wrestling.While the preview build for both systems could still use some polishing on graphics and A.I., the base for the game is already there: Use anything you can get your hands on to beat the hell out of your opponent while he tries hard to do the same to you. While the balance among brawling, grappling, and weapons fighting is still being tweaked, both the Xbox and PS2 builds showed a pretty strong timing-based reversal system and a couple of original stages on which to fight.
With the Insane Clown Posse and Kitana Baker (the brunette from the infamous Miller Lite catfight commercial) signed on to star as playable characters, Eidos?s rough and rowdy risk could pay off?assuming developer Paradox can tighten the A.I. and smooth out the graphics in time for the October ship date.
