Editors' Review
With flat, uninspiring graphics and a severely limited trial period, this wrestling game may leave most fans flat on the mat. Federation Booker puts you at the head of a wrestling team to take part in a series of matches. While your character has plenty of wrestling skills, it's difficult to make him move. Many actions are only available under certain conditions. For example, if you grab your opponent, only then can you can punch and kick. Given how raucous a wrestling match can be, there's surprisingly little action in Federation Booker. You punch, your opponent falls down, and then with the "attack" function you torture him a bit while he writhes. Poor graphics make the crowd appear as wallpaper, a static sheet of similar unmoving faces. The most disappointing feature of Federation Booker, however, is its demo limitations. After loading this memory-heavy program (25MB), you are only allowed to launch the program three times. Even the most devoted wrestling fans will find much at fault with Federation Booking. You'd be better off watching the real thing on TV.
