| Sumo wrestling, like most sports, is an acquired taste. Western audiences
for the most part fail to grasp the rich tradition behind this Japanese sport
and instead focus on appearances - two really fat guys standing on a square
wooden plaftorm and trying like crazy to shove each other out of a ring inscribed
within the edges of the platform. Once you understand sumo and its rituals,
though, it can be just as entertaining than its American so-called "professional"
counterpart.
Seems to be quite faithful to the sport except for some obvious Street Fighter 2 inspired touches. Great graphics, great sound, and good gameplay, makes a refreshing change from the usual beat 'em up. |
