Wrestling Spirit 2 has an impressive list of features and game modes. Wrestling Spirit 2 is slightly below the average mark held for sports management games these days in terms of graphics and sound. In terms of sound, there’s not much to say: a clicking sound and that’s it. Of course, this would make it much more difficult to made MODs for the game, but I think it would deliver a more compelling wrestling experience to actually see someone receive a suplex instead of just saying so. Wrestling Spirit 2 would be a lot cooler with a full 3-d view of the wrestlers and the ring during matches, even if it was just basic models. The matches themselves are just text with a picture describing the action.
All of the data is arranged in a reasonable way, it just takes a little bit more time to retrieve some of it. In general, the information is presented in an easily accessible manor, but it sometimes takes multiple clicks to reach important information buried in menus. Like most sports management games, most of Wrestling Spirit 2 is laid out in text menus. Well, two games are twice as nice, so Wrestling Spirit is now Wrestling Spirit 2, which bills itself as “the thinking person’s fighting game.” I enjoy thinking on occasion, so how will a more strategic approach to wrestling work out? Not surprisingly, there have been numerous games that have tried to capitalize on the popularity of wrestling, but most of these have been on consoles, and us PC users have been relegated to a port of WWE Raw (why didn’t they pick a good wrestling game to port?) and wrestling management games such as Wrestling Spirit. For me, my “watching wrestling” phase was during college and graduate school, when I turned in twice a week to watch the sweaty competitors of the WWF/E grab each other. What say you? An excellent set of features, but lackluster matches: 5/8 The Not So Good: Matches are tedious and defending is not fun, lack of multiplayer The Good: Well developed career and season modes, lots of wrestlers and moves, easy to make MODs, challenging AI
