![]() The Ironman Road story mode is pretty weak, (as are most wrestling game story modes on even big consoles- what's the trouble here folks?) with a dull string of the same matches end on end and not much of a real story to get into (although it is smart how you have to manage your team to make sure you're not both wrecked going into the next match.) And since FPW has always been an incredibly deep and exhaustive game, the number of additions put into the game (which are actually slim in the sequel - no big gains like last year's Audience Rankings mode) just don't amount to much - it's like pouring a cup into an ocean. Whether fans excuse the excuses and go for the gameplay or chalk up the exclusion as a sign of BAM not in it for the real Fire Pro devotees, that depends on how long they've been into the game and how deep they'll play (having a few friends to go rounds in multiplayer should help ease the pain a bit.) However, it is a huge loss, and the game seems empty as a sequel without the mode. Now, I can offer you a dozen reasons why, some very good ones at that - reasons extending from the simple answer that BAM had no choice in getting the game out before Christmas since a niche game like Fire Pro will never sell outside of the holiday and therefore would not have been possible any other way, to the honest possibility that the well-known perfectionists Spike decided against converting the mode because they couldn't have gotten it right in the American version with their resources and time demands - but the bottom line is that it's not there. Fire Pro Wrestling 2 unfortunately does not have the same feature. When the sequel to the first GBA Fire Pro hit Japan, fans of the series got something original and engrossing in a full RPG management mode that let you set your wrestlers up in the rankings and carry him through the drama and turmoil of a real season in the wrestling circuit. What it is not is Final Fire Pro Wrestling. ![]() ![]() In some ways, it's the game that should have been waited for. Also, with a great Training Mode that instantly and correctly teaches gamers the ins and outs of the unique and acute fighting system, Fire Pro Wrestling 2 is the game that has the best chance of conquering a new audience. And it's a refinement on the controls of the original game and whole series that, while even after all these years still has its kinks, makes it a more capable fighter. It's a complete game, with a career mode that gives foundation to the sprawling depth. It's an even deeper wrestler creation mode. It's a bigger collection of moves, featuring the depth of the series' catalog in some way or other. What Fire Pro Wrestling 2 is, after a fairly good start with the original, is the latest expansion of the long-running series, with more of everything you could possibly want.
