I played Fire Pro Wredtling D for the Dreamcast today and was really looking forward to it from all the great reviews on gamefaqs.com
Am I the only one that thinks this game looks like an SNES game and the gameplay is not too great either.
I am very disappointed. Giant Gram is much better IMO
Give it some time man it's the best/deepest Wrestling Game out there. The Graphics are great IMO and 2-D and animate nicely. If you need some Gameplay advice just ask I'd be glad to help...
Fire Pro Wrestling D is 2D? I thought they moved the series to 3D with the DC release. *-neo
Yes Sir Neo. Classic 2-D Greatness. You should check it out, if your not too big on Wrestling they have tons of other Fighting styles and a mock UFC ring...Quote:

Yes you are.
First of all, there is no way in hell a SNES could handle Fire Pro D. Second of all, if you judge a game based on graphics, FPD probably isn't right for you. The game works much better in 2D and should stay that way IMO.
As for the gameplay not being great, I do not agree, but you are entitled to your opinion. As I always say, look at the Fire Pro series as a Wrestling sim, not an arcade game. If you want fast paced arcade action, Giant Gram and all of the other wrestling titles are for you. Fire Pro is more about recreating the actual wrestling. You have to use strategy. You need to plan out your match. Going in and attempting to use your most powerful moves is an easy way to get your ass beat. you have to work your way up and don't forget to rest your wrestler.
Fire Pro isn't for everyone. It doesn't try to be.
Hmm I think my friends would enjoy this game. Been meaning to pick up a FPW title since hearing about the Saturn version, if the price ever drops below $50 I might check it out. *-neoQuote:

dude, this game is awesome ive had the import for about 6 months and just recently popped it in for a spin....awesome...challenging...and i LOVE the graphics..it dont look like a fuckin SNES game??? what???
some pointers to get started (this is what i did last week)
1. start out on difficult y 1
2. DO NOT BUTTON MASH - press your pad combo once.
3. Timing is key
---- thats all, enjoy, dont write it off just yet. youll will be missing out.
4. Start off using someone like Vader with a High Critical Rate. Good for Newbies... Also when your hear a smack when you lock up that's your cue.Quote:

You probably are the only one.
I think the game is great. Gameplay is incredible.
A 2d game with a region specific damage model? That's too good :)
If you need to get your feet wet with Firepro, and don't want to invest $50 or more, just pick up FPW for the GBA.
True that Jay.
I picked up FPW a couple months ago for GBA, and I STILL haven't got tired of it enough to import FPD...
Maybe I need to give it a second try, i will take your advice and give it another go
If you end up not liking it, you can always sell it to me!
Hey:
Make an Edit of yourself and you'll see how much fun it is.
I had a lot of complaints about D when it first came out, as it is really no more than a remake of G, but D is the one I probably play the most. I definitley think that if you're into Puroresu and MMA you'll dig it more than a non-fan would.

Kidnemo I can't sell it to you because I got burned copy on yahoo auctions and actually bought a copy of the game, not original. The auction did not state that it was a copy. Learned my lesson on that one.
I've seen copies for $20 on ebay. Saw it at an EB Gameworld near me for $30.:) Now I just need a GS... Eh, I'll get one after SMS. The graphics may not look at that stunning, but look at the sheer volume of moves the game has to animate. I find the graphical shortcomings far more tolerable on the GBA due to the fact I am amazed at how they were able to fit SO many moves onto one cart.
Jay: $20 bucks for FP for gba I'm guessing?
I haven't seen any copies of FPD go for less than 55...
Nope, FPD. $30 was the price I paid for FPD.
Kidnemo since I know you a big time Wrestling fan I highly recommend paying the $60 or so you won't regret it!
Jay: Damn! I haven't seen it even close to that.
Korian: Totally. I'm still in awe at the amount of fun I've had with the GBA game, so I know the DC rev will knock my socks off.
Giant Gram is not better.Quote:

Giant Gram 2000 on the other hand, is my favorite single player experience in all of wrestling games. Is it better overall than Firepro D? I don't really think so.
