The Ultimate Muscle universe is vast and strange. It revolves around groups of superhero wrestlers, both good and decidedly bad, who battle against one another in the Muscle League. There are the classic brawlers, or Legends -- everyone from King Muscle to Buffaloman (yes, that's his name and that's exactly what he is), and then there are those, like Kid Muscle, who are part of the New Generation. Kid Muscle in particular has grown tired of his father taking top billing and is off to make a name for himself, and this is partially where the wild and wacky storyline of Ultimate Muscle for GameCube starts off. The presentation is well beyond over the top. It's weird in a mesmerizing way, and the writing,, equally out there but also witty, is likewise executed in top form and as a result you're bound to smile at some of the interactions.
