Music Television's satirical Claymation-style series comes alive on home computers and next-gen consoles in this release from Gotham Games. Players can choose to enter the fray as one of over 20 different 3D celebrity caricatures, including favorites from past shows and a few that make their debut in this game. An "Episode" mode allows players to enter special match-ups, complete with pre- and post-match observations as well as play-by-play commentary during the match. As on television, battles are hosted by Nick Diamond and Johnny Gomez, and a stop-motion Mills Lane is on hand to "officiate" the bloody bouts.

Use the Left or Right Directional button to cycle through the ring types and the button to accept your choice.
The match Time Limit can be selected in most modes and gives the player the opportunity to set how long the match will last. The time limit choices are from 1-10 minutes, with the addition of a no limit option.
