Pros
- Encapsulates the feeling of the old WWF No Mercy/Fire Pro Wrestling games perfectly.
- Fun minigames that add an extra level of party-style games both online and locally.
- Easy-to-learn controls make it a very pickup-and-play arcade game.
- Match variety is fun, albeit limited.
Cons
- Customization feels limited compared to other wrestling games released recently.
- Road to Elite feels barebones and similar to PS2 era games.
- No option for streamer mode with songs can be frustrating.
- Lack of full entrances hurts the immersion of the game.
In Summary
Fight Forever sets out and delivers on what they said when it was announced: a successor to No Mercry on the N64. That being said, it feels like it’s stuck in the early 2000s in a lot of ways that current gen wrestling games have mastered. FIght Forever is a great start to hopefully a long franchise that continues to improve, as this is a fun party game but doesn’t have the legs to be a long term commitment.
