Press Reviews:
“Like Pride? Then meet your new heroes” (Fighting Spirit, Issue 17, Mike Madine)
“…in many ways it’s exactly like a Pride show: elaborate holographic entrances, Japanese announcers screaming fighters’ names dramatically, superheavyweight freak shows, referees allowing the free flow of fighting spirit rather than stopping fights early.” (Fighting Spirit, Issue 17, Mike Madine)
“if you preferred the zany, puroresu-themed flavour of Pride over the UFC, you’ll really dig Hero’s.” (Fighting Spirit, Issue 17, Mike Madine)
"Tournament Start is a particularly good purchase as it introduces you to a number of Hero’s biggest stars and also delivers a great selection of action to boot.” (Fighting Spirit, Issue 17, Mike Madine)
“…the match action here is every bit as exciting as anything you’ll see in the Octagon.” (Fighting Spirit, Issue 17, Mike Madine)
“…if you’re a fan of the slick, stylised Japanese fight promotions… Hero’s 2005: Tournament Start is going to be a great pickup and the perfect way to introduce yourself to a new product.” (Fighting Spirit, Issue 17, Mike Madine)
