Summary

Fun, but only if you can master the controls and overlook a glaring problem.

The Good

Bop'N Wrestle does indeed have over 20 moves as its advertising blurb states, including the spectacular Turnbuckle Fly, where you climb onto the ropes and dive onto your opponent. It is fun to learn how to use all of these to your advantage; all perform as expected. I was never a fan of pro wrestling, but I have to admit that swinging a guy around by his arm, bouncing him into the ropes, and then slamming my meat-hook-for-an-arm across his neck to send him sprawling to the floor appealed to a certain element in me. :-)

The Bad

The leg kick--that is, the act of simply kicking your opponent--has a rediculously quick recover time. If you are fast and loose with a keyboard, you can always reduce your opponent's energy down to 0 in about 5 seconds with little effort other than reflexes. This is a glaring problem in an otherwise even game.

The Bottom Line

If you never use your legs as weapons, you'll enjoy this game (if you enjoy wrestling games, that is.)
