Personal review

I haven't played many Sumo games yet. Only as part of World Games. And I must say that it is a strange sport as a videogame and indeed does fit more as part of a multisports game. The game as it stands is quite ok, but doesn't have much variety to it. By winning games your wrestlers stats increase a bit and it is your goal to climb the ranking ladder to the highest rank. Everything is nicely represented with some funny moments, but after a few fight fights I got pretty bored by it.
