"Ultimate Muscle Game is great" , posted Sun 15 Jun 19:50

I picked up the Ultimate Muscle game on Gamcube yesterday just minutes after playing the demo and have been playing it for most of today.

The game is developed by AKI, the same people who made WWF No Mercy amd WCW Revenge. But this game is more of a fighter than a wrestling game. There is no pin fall or submission just KO. All the action is in the ring, so you cant get outside. The controls are pretty simple. Punch, block, grapple, jump and an extra button to help with specials. As you fight a super meter fills up to 3 levels. Each level has a special attack. For Kid Muscle he has a rolling kick for level one, a Kinniku Buster as well as an inverted Kinniku buster for level 2 and level 3 allows him to do the Muscle Millenium.

The character roster is pretty good. The first selectable characters are the basics of the news series mixed with their trainers. There are some other characters that the instruction booklet says were created in a contest.

The modes are pretty basic. Story which is the same format for ALL characters(Single Match, Single Match, tag match, Single Match, Single Match) VS which has single, tag, triple threat, battle royal. Tournament, Create which I am not completely fimiliar with at this time. Toys where you use coins collected through Story and VS to buy pictures of the old MUSCLE toys. There are 430+ and I have somewhere around 300.

I LOVE this game. Story gets pretty tiresome with the same layout, but multiplayer is the heart of this game and I have played 3or 4 dozen vs matchs today and had to take a break because my eyes were starting to get dry.
