built 249 days ago
Backyard Wrestlings' main feature is the talk show mode, otherwise knon as season mode. Here you play through a several of survival matches against plenty of other opponents in each level. These matches are interspersed with video footage that take place on a talk show called "Today's Topic," which is, of course, Backyard Wresling.

Backyard Wrestling is ... a pretty unimpressive-looking game. The wrestling environments are reasonably spacious, and they contain plenty of destructible elements to ram your opponents into, but, aside from these aspects, none of them look very good. Unfortunately, the ability to clip heavily through pretty much any solid object is rampant throughout. The wrestler models are pretty light on detail, though one nice thing is that they look progressively bloodier and beaten as the match goes on. All of the game's moves are highly exaggerated, in the same vein as Def Jam Vendetta, and, although they aren't quite as impressive as Vendetta's, they're still amusing to watch. The biggest graphical problem is the game's camera, which is incredibly unstable and frequently begins vibrating violently in close-up shots. The Xbox version of the game is decisively better looking, with much cleaner, brighter textures and a far more consistent frame rate.

Backyard Wrestling allows you to step out of the wrestling genre and into a new world of open-ended gameplay. Punish your opponent in interactive environments using weapons such as thumbtacks, barbed wire, lightbulbs, stop signs, baseball bats, tables, fire, and other objects. Prepare to take incredible risks and endure cuts, bruises, and gashes, as you leap from breathtaking heights to beat your opponent and be crowned The King of Hardcore.

The first Backyard Wrestling title deserved to be buried in a shoebox in the backyard. Instead, the series has been given a second chance. Backyard Wrestling 2 takes advantage of this new lease on life by endangering the lives of its onscreen combatants in much better fashion than before.

Aside from the standard backyard locations, Backyard Wrestling's arenas include a truck stop, a slaughterhouse, an outdoor parking lot, a talk show set and a strip club. Each environment is littered with barbed wire-laden bats, fluorescent light bulbs, breakable tables, steel chairs and other objects players may use to injure their opponents.
