How to Decide
Fire Pro Wrestling is known for its massive library of over 200 extreme wrestling moves and deep wrestler customization, and it’s used by teen and adult wrestling fans who enjoy fast‑paced arcade physics. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood leans on its licensed soundtrack and split‑screen multiplayer for head‑to‑head brawls; Backyard Wrestling: Don’t Try This at Home emphasizes a wide array of improvised weapons and highly interactive backyard arenas; Fire Pro Wrestling 2 is chosen for its handheld Game Boy Advance link‑up support and a staggering 1,200‑plus technique move set.
When weighing these options, focus on (1) move‑set depth – Fire Pro Wrestling and its sequel boast hundreds to thousands of techniques versus the more limited move pools of the Backyard titles; (2) customization breadth – all three let you tweak wrestlers, but the Backyard games add clothing, tattoos and weapon load‑outs while Fire Pro 2 adds full appearance and move‑set editing on a portable; (3) platform and hardware constraints – Fire Pro Wrestling runs on PC/console, Fire Pro Wrestling 2 is limited to GBA link play, and both Backyard games are PS2‑only with split‑screen; (4) multiplayer modality – split‑screen local play in the Backyard titles versus link‑cable multiplayer in Fire Pro 2 and the original’s single‑player/multiplayer mix; and (5) content rating – the Backyard games carry an ESRB M rating for graphic violence, whereas Fire Pro Wrestling and its sequel are rated T, which may affect suitability for younger teen audiences.
