Thank you for purchasing

BACKYARD
WRESTLING 2: THERE GOES THE
NEIGHBORHOOD

for the PlayStation®2

computer entertainment system.

In

BACKYARD WRESTLING: DON’T TRY

THIS AT HOME

we shattered the popular
perceptions of what a wrestling game should
be. We combined all the action and excitement
of a traditional wrestling game with over­the-top moves and fast arcade fighter style
play. Our highly interactive, destructible
environments raised the bar for all other
wrestling games on the market.

Now with

BACKYARD WRESTLING 2: THERE

GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD

we have extended

our groundbreaking ideas even further:

• Our beefed-up hybrid wrestling-fighting
system now includes Submission Holds,
new Counters, and Blocking.

• We have raised the bar for interactive
environments again with gorgeously detailed
levels where anything you break can be used

as a weapon! Hidden, context­sensitive moves can be found in each
level, increasing the possibilities for
hardcore mayhem and making each
match a unique experience.

• Our powerful Enviro-Mental

™

engine
brings the personalities of BYW, CZW,
JCW and other hardcore wrestling
federations to life with awesome
graphics and dynamically moving hair
and cloth.

• The improved custom wrestler system has
enormous potential for you to create your
own unique personality and style. Change
outfit styles, colors, moves, and even add
tattoos and logos of your own design!

We hope you enjoy playing

BACKYARD
WRESTLING 2: THERE GOES THE
NEIGHBORHOOD

as much as we enjoyed

making it!
