I have seen movie clips from the Japanese version of this game and it is truely the best wrestling game ever. If you are a fan of the Ultimate Muscle cartoon on Fox Box then you must get this game. It features characters from the TV show and uses the same "cell shading" that Zelda uses to make it look like you are actually PLAYING the cartoon. The 3D effects are awesome as you can perform all the moves that the characters do on TV, including Kid Muscle's "Kinniku-Buster". You are not stuck to the ring, you can leap high into the air. There's also a feature that lets you construct your own unique wrestler. This is a game for hours of fun for every kid!

A cel-shaded wrestling game based on an anime based on tiny collectible rubber eraser-lookin' figures from the past? Sure, why not?! Add Ultimate Muscle to the growing list (two, at last count) of wrestling games for people who don't normally like wrestling games. It boasts a fun engine, endearingly weird characters, and funny voices and sound effects, but lacks a few key customization options that keep it from becoming the ultimate champ. Ultimate Muscle is developed by AKI (Def Jam Vendetta), an elite developer that had its heyday back in the N64 era. Lots of AKI touches are here (the dynamic camera angles, fast moves, the wrestlers' Final Fantasy Summon-like ultimate moves, and the way the wrestlers sell the pain), but the fighting system is definitely a bit simpler. Some wrestlers are faster and others are slower, and some are better grapplers than others. Ultimately, though, once you know one character, you know them all-meaning Ultimate Muscle is easy to learn, but quick to get old. Some collision-detection problems make the graphics unconvincing as wrestlers' holds frequently clip through their opponents' bodies. Ultimate Muscle's Story mode is fun, enabling you to unlock a web of new characters as you play through each wrestler's weird little tale; the create-a-wrestler feature, however, isn't nearly as robust as THQ's WWE games- Ultimate Muscle's is just a mix-n-match-a-thon of 20 whacked-out coconut heads and funny naming options-but hey, at least it's there. While Ultimate Muscle isn't as good a wrestler as Def Jam, it's equally absurd in its own happy way-another solid, simple, and fun alternative to the WWE juggernaut.

this game is unlike any other wrestling game. i have never seen the show and i love this game and my uncle has seen the show and he loves it too, so this game has been proven to be awesome! there are cel-shaded graphics in this game, you can create up to 40 characters, wrestle in many different rings, you can collect ultimate muscle toys out of the toy machine, play the story mode, do lots of different moves, and even trade you chacters with others! this is the ultimate wrestling game, pick up a copy now!
