King Of Colosseum II

[10.0] "King of Colosseum II is the successor to KOC Red/Green and builds on the legacy of AJPW King's Soul and the quasi-Fire Pro Wrestling series in 3D. The gameplay is a sophisticated blend of Fire Pro-style timing and strategy with deep grappling and blocking mechanics. Unlike many other wrestling games, the focus here is on mastering numerous "clutches" and counters, rather than relying on a handful of generic moves. This allows each wrestler to feel remarkably faithful to their real-life counterpart, making the matches both strategic and authentic. The game's difficulty curve is well-designed. Beginners can start easily at lower levels, while more seasoned players will find the dogged AI at higher levels demanding, requiring practice and mastery. The scope of content is impressive, with a massive roster of wrestlers and MMA fighters, including unlockable legends like Inoki, Tsuruta, and Fedor, plus a variety of arenas and rings. Survival Road mode adds additional challenge and motivation, with match ratings offering points for well-executed performances. The edit mode is somewhat limited in terms of visual customization, but remains comparable to Fire Pro Returns. While the game is only officially available in Japanese, online translations make navigation accessible after a short adjustment period. Overall, King of Colosseum II stands as one of the best wrestling games ever produced. Its depth, strategic gameplay, and attention to realism make it a must-play, particularly for fans of Puroresu and simulation-style wrestling."

[10.0] "Amazing roster, presentation and feel. Really enjoyable to play. I truly believe this is as close to a perfect 3d wrestling game as we have gotten"

[10.0] "This is one of my favourite wrestling games of all time. A complete and utter romp filled with tons of names, the matches are always fun and its essentially a 3D version of Fire Pro wrestling. Whats not to love? Its easy to pick up and play but hard to master. A classic by the developers at Spike."

[10.0] "The most perfect a wrestling game can be. Great roster and even greater lineup of classic wrestlers from the past. The unlockables you can get is awesome too that fills out rosters, you can even play as Mike Tyson!"

[10.0] "The closest a pro wrestling game has ever come to being perfect. Amazing and realistic gameplay, great rosters for the time when the game was released and a very system of matches receiving ratings based on their quality."
