How it feels

A rough-around-the-edges licensed brawler that leans entirely on Simpsons charm to carry its simple, clunky wrestling action.

About

The Simpsons Wrestling is a sports video game and the only Simpsons game released for the PlayStation. There are 20 characters in the game, all of whom are voiced by the same actors that provide their voices in the show, and each character executes their own exclusive moves and gestures and power moves in the wrestling ring. The matches take place in detailed 3D locations from Springfield. A round in the game ends when one wrestler pins their opponent for a three count. Two victorious rounds wins a match. Unlike in traditional wrestling rules, the opponent may be pinned belly-down.
