Fans of THE SIMPSONS can now grapple, pile drive and body slam their way across Springfield as Activision, Inc. announced the release of THE SIMPSONS WRESTLING for the PlayStation game console. The game, produced by Fox Interactive and developed by Big Ape, has been given a "T" for Teen rating by the ESRB.

THE SIMPSONS WRESTLING is a 3D wrestling/fighting game featuring 22 characters from the television show, where players battle their way to the ultimate title -- Champion of Springfield. Players can choose to wrestle as their favorite Simpsons' characters, including Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa, Burns, Smithers, Krusty, Apu, Moe, Flanders and others. Each character can execute his or her own unique fighting style and "special moves" such as Homer's "Strangulator," Bart's "Wedgie," Lisa's "Pop Quiz" and Barney's "Duff Cloud Burp." Players can utilize numerous power-ups like the donut that increases speed, bowling pins that can be used as clubs and bubble gum that slows players down. The game also features 3D, graphically detailed Springfield locations such as the Simpson house, Krusty Lu Studios, Moe's Tavern, the Kwik-E-Mart, Barney's Bowl-O-Rama and the infamous Nuclear Power Plant. The game also features the show's voiceover talent performing their characters' dialogue and comic wrestling taunts. For more information, contact Activision at www.activision.com.
