"Don't try this at home," Backyard Wrestling proclaims, and truer words have never been spoken or written. I also recommend not playing it in the following places: Anywhere on Earth. Gameplay here redefines "broken." The action is so hyperfast that the wrestlers are sprinting at all times. It's not just frenetic—it's absurd. Swing a deadly weapon, and you'll find out it's anything but, as enemies oftentimes run right through them unimpeded. Thrown items like tires act as homing weapons, targeting a player even as he (or she) flees in comical terror. A.I. grapplers are as accommodating as they are brain-dead: You can perform aerial attacks with ease because the A.I. foes actually wait underneath platforms, seemingly oblivious to the opponent lurking above. Just don't.
