Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes The Neighborhood (PS2)

Well I will start with the Career mode, the career mode is basically built up of challenges and missions which are built up in tiers. The challenges consist of mainly beating other wrestlers and you must win to progress. The missions are basically like a tutorial where you have to do certain moves to win the mission, this is where I thought it made the game more fun to play, because when I first played the game my thoughts wasnt that good, but after playing it for awhile and learning all the moves I thought it not actually a bad wrestler, but not in the same league as smackdown series and new wrestling games out today, for a start the graphics are poor, sometimes you can see the charathers head is going to come off from his neck, reminds of the candians in south park. There isnt really much of a story to the game you create a wrestler and you have to work yourself to the top to win the million dollar wrestling contact, but thats where the game really fails the create a wrestler mode is so bad you cant change a charaters face you have to settle for 5 pre set faces to choose from, however you can change your clothes, skin colour, hair, etc but options are very limted compaired to most wrestling games out today. Also in the career mode you can earn money to buy new stuff for your created wrestlers from the shop.
Exhibition Mode, the game was meant to have online play and most shops are stating that it has it, but when you actually buy the game you will find out there is no mode what so ever, I think the main reason this was removed because the company behind the game thought there wasnt going be enough players to buy the game, therefore not many players would be online. In exhibition mode there is only one mode you vs another wrestler, and the same thing but with two players. The life meter is a bit like tekken games, its not like smackdown where when you get low life meter bar you can still be in the game, once your life bar runs out thats it your are knocked out and the match is won.

Overall: Graphics: Characthers models not very well done, Environments are nicely done, though nothing special, nice damage effects almost anything can be used as a weapon or destroyed, and the enviro-damage system is fun to, when an icon appears you simply press a button and watch your wrestler slam his head in between two doors, etc.
I thought it was fun to play after you get into it, there are however some good things about the game the ability to use weapons like a chainsaw, drown someones face in a deep fat frying pan, set people on fire, blood dripping on the floor and cuts on the characters face and body, wrap your body in barbed wire etc. If you are into wrestling games you may want to have a look into this one as it is something different to experience, but there really isnt enough in the game for replay value. I would give it a score about 6/10

This game is absolute garbage the moves are rubbish, the create a wrestler is very limited, The use of weapons are pathetic the graphics are early ps2, movement of characters is very poor, Career mode beat 1 guy move on missions are also stupid and pointless, the only thing good about the game is the music.
