  • Summary: Backyard Wrestling Inc. has announced "your town" as the location of its first live pay per view. They've put a million dollars cash prize on the line for the wrestler who's got what it takes to destroy every obstacle in their way to the main event and ultimately the unified BYW championship. A completely revamped wrestling and animation system raises the ability to inflict copious amounts of pain to an opponent to nearly infinite levels. Standing and ground based submissions, multi-position grappling, a block button body and an even deeper location-specific damage system all play into the carnage! Players will battle through both an enhanced single player experience, complete with death matches and a "quest for the belt" mode, or the ever popular, greatly expanded multi-player scenarios. The list of licensed backyard brawlers has grown immensely, including stars from the explosive home video series, as well as some of the craziest pro wrestlers to ever set foot in a ring. The completely redesigned Create-A-Wrestler System allows gamers to get creative and craft their own alter-ego with. The new robust C.A.W. allows for the customization of a backyard brawler from the ground up, including Tattoo's, Face Paint, Customized Clothing, and more! [Eidos Interactive]… Expand

    There Goes the Neighborhood has serious weapon-related AI and collision detection problems. The arenas and the movement system are surprisingly good. [Jan. 05]

    I’m sure there’s humour and enjoyment in this title somewhere but I think it’s that of a slightly dysfunctional thirteen-year-old boy – quite a narrow market to be aiming for.

    The Gameplay, whether or not these MAINSTREME A$$Holes wanna say that its good or not, it IS better than the First one in more than one way.... for instance... Although MYW2 Doesnot Contain Madrox or Monoxide from Twiztid, it still holds tha Juggalo Fam, which is tha S#!T if you ask me, and being owner of a Record Label gets me to REALLY UNDERSTANDINGWhy the Mainstream Media Has to Lay Disses on ICP, On the Juggalo Fam And the Hatchet Family...... Thanks fo Listenin' and MUCH MUCH MUCH JUGGALO FAM LUV
