Here is the review that gamespot has at their site. Im just barley getting to page two, but the review is making the game seem really good.

The game is sounding good, I can't wait to turn my pre-order into the actual game, only a couple days more!

[Sniper33]

a couple of days? I thought that it came out the 3rd, today?

Check out this screen shot...



Just like MUSCLE #15! Sweet! I assume the game will feature classic Sunshine..?

I always wondered what good the arch would do. Now I have a virtual example.

Sweet.

Man. I found that review to be quite disappointing. Looks like this won't be the perfect marriage of AKI wrestling and MUSCLE toys.

[Sniper33]

Well, I went to a couple of stores today, and no one had this game. Exatly when does it come out. I was always under the impression that today was the day.

[Siccx Degree]

The release dates you see on gamespot or anyother site are usualy the shipping dates, so I'm guessing it shipped out today (3rd) and should be in stores for sale tommorow!

[AmoiMan]

And Best Buy wont have it for a week, haha.

[Sniper33]

Best Buy wont get it for a week? Well at least I can still head over to eB to pick up a copy tomorrow. I just hope that the game is worth the trouble.

[BzzzapOuch]

Tomorrow, tomorrow, lalalalala. I put mine on pre-order about 2 weeks ago, I went and bugged them the other day to see if they had it in early, but no dice. Tomorrow is a definite though,

? It seemed like a pretty decent review to me?

Two things that are weird to me:

1.30 characters, 10 of them are not from the series?? Are they talking about the custom made wrestlers?? It sound like there are 10 already made extra characters.

2. Power-up's and traps?? That sounds kind of cheesy to me, this is the first of heard of that.

gamerankings.com has 6 different ratings up, most of which are excellent, and only one that is only above average or standard.

I phoned EB today and they said that UM was supposed to hit shelves today, but was delayed for some reason(they didn't know why), but will be on shelves on Thursday.

[Sniper33]

Even then, Ill still give them a call tomorrow just in case.

What matches would you guys want to be in this game? Me?! I would of liked to see :

1. Ladder Match, where the lanterns are hanging from the top.
2. a Cage match, like what Terry and Tyronoclaw fought in.
3. Cage/Ladder match, like how Kid Muscle and Forkasarous fought in.

Nice review. I thought it was a pretty positive review. An 8 out of 10 isn't too shabby. I would have gotten this game no matter what, but I'm glad to see it getting good reviews. And Mike, you are now on a video game!! Very cool!

And Mike, you are now on a video game!!  Very cool!

Once you've chosen your wrestler, your story begins with a narrated introduction by Meat, the head trainer of the Muscle League.

All of the voice actors from the American version of the Ultimate Muscle cartoon provide the dialogue for their respective characters, and they do an excellent job with the scripts they're given, which, as said before, are definitely amusing, if a bit lacking in variety.

Thanks!

I was told by some friends at software etc. that 99% of the time video games are released on wednesdays.

over here the games usually come out on Tuesdays, and sometimes on Thursday. But if the game shippes today, than it will be available to purchase tomorrow (or at least the preorders).

It's just like The Wind Waker -- The games ship out Tuesday, and arrive on Wednesday! I want to buy my copy at Gamestop! I think that Sonic Adventure DX will arrive on the 18th of June, to be safe, because it would ship out on Tuesday, just like the others!

Don't know why....

[AmoiMan]

Damn, that sucks, Mike. That's why the only game I've pre-ordered in years was Wind Waker.

About shipping of games....they almost always get to the stores following this pattern:

a day after the shipping date, if it's a dedicated video games store, like EB
two days after for big stores like Walmart
after that, i have no reason to pay attention

also, it takes anywhere from 2-7 days after for Best Buy stores (i dunno why...maybe they're just slow at putting them on the shelves, but it's like this for 4 different Best Buys that I know of)

[Sniper33]

Hey AmoiMan, you did read what Mike said didnt you? He/amazon said JULY not June, in that case the game might be pushed back another month . Hope that isnt the case, maybe cause they had so many orders of it, that they are on backorder or something.

[Siccx Degree]

I went to the Gamestop site and it says "usually ships within 24 hours" that means they must have their stock ready, man I can't wait for them to call me so that I can go and pick it up!

It's in EB right now....

I was talking about shipping to stores from the company....

I didn't mention Amazon....

Mike's case is unique.....

I doubt there were many preorders for that game....
