Successor to AKI and Bandai's acclaimed Ultimate Muscle: Legends vs New Generation, Galactic Wrestling still features favorite characters from the animated television series, and still emphasizes over-the-top, super-powered big-time wrestling. As in the earlier game, the action is over-the-top, with huge hits, resounding slams, sky-high jumps, and cartoonish special effects, but the interface is designed to offer tight control, even in the middle of the chaos. Matches are fought in one of seven different rings and more than 45 characters are available (though some must be unlocked through skillful play). The game's six modes of play include multiplayer competitions, such as "Tag Team," Five on Five," and "Battle Royale." Up to four PS2 gamers can enter the Galactic Wrestling ring together using a multi-tap device.
