Backyard Wrestling: Games
built 643 days ago
Backyard Wrestling doesn't actually feature any teenage grapplers from actual backyard wrestling federations. Instead, what it does feature is a collection of independent federation wrestlers, including a number of talents from rap group Insane Clown Posse's own wrestling federation, the JCW. Some featured wrestlers include Mad Man Pondo, Sabu, Tom Dub, Rude Boy, Josh Prohibition, MDogg20, and the wicked clowns themselves, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. Other noted appearances include Miller Lite spokesmodel Kitana Baker and former WCW valet Tylene Buck. Considering the license, it only makes sense that you won't be wrestling inside a ring of any sort in the game, and, aside from the standard backyards, you'll ... have a truck stop, a slaughterhouse, an outdoor parking lot, a talk show set, and a strip club at your disposal. Every environment is littered with barbed wire-laden bats, fluorescent light bulbs, breakable tables, steel chairs, and pretty much any other object you could possibly think of to use for injuring an opponent.

Backyard Wrestling allows you to step out of the the staleness of the wrestling genre, and into a groundbreaking new world of open ended gameplay. Punish your opponent in highly interactive sprawling environments implementing instruments of pain like thumbtacks, barbed wire, light bulbs, stop signs, baseball bats, tables, fireĀ
as well as the environment itself. Prepare yourself to endure inhuman amounts of pain, and take incredible risks, as you leap from breathtaking heights to beat your opponent, and be crowned "The King Of Hardcore". [Eidos Interactive]

To sum it all up, Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This at Home is basically a failed experiment. It does its best to try to be something different, and it does marginally succeed at this task. Despite being different... it also lacks the depth found in most modern wrestling offerings--both in gameplay and modes--and really won't satisfy the average fighting or beat-'em-up fan, either. Unfortunately, its lengthy laundry list of aggravating problems prevents it from being of even casual interest to wrestling fans on the hunt for diversity in their wrestling game libraries. Perhaps there's still potential for the Backyard Wrestling license in future releases, since the basic concepts for the game are inherently sound. However, there's simply no salvaging Don't Try This at Home, and, ultimately, it should be avoided.

The game's graphics are ... noteworthy as Paradox has done everything in its power to make sure Backyard Wrestling earns its M rating. Blood splatters in highly detailed glory here, and damage is reflected so specifically on your wrestler that you can't help but feel his pain. The animations also look awesome, with fantasy wrestling moves looking as beautiful as they are gruesome. The environments you fight in though are the greatest display of Backyard Wrestling's graphical prowess, with every interactive facet displayed in beautiful 3D glory.

As you all probably know, the backyard wrestling phenomenon is about to hit video game consoles around the world in a matter of months thanks to Eidos. This game will utilize the developmental services of Paradox, the folks behind the legendary Thrill Kill, a game so violent that EA chose to cancel publishing plans for it after it was finished. With a pedigree like that, you can expect to see plenty of gore in this game, and Paradox doesn’t disappoint in that department. Backyard Wrestling will feature many implements of destruction for you to use on your opponents. Remember seeing flaming tables in ECW? Well, they’re in this game too, and it’s the first game to feature them.
