Advantages: Its another WWF game

Disadvantages: The sound

General/Summary: Those looking for a sim wrestler will most definetly have to look else where, as this game is far from a sim. It is however a very good multiplayer arcade game that some may find a breath of fresh air from the hardcore sim titles in their gaming library.
Gameplay: The gameplay is a little odd at first but give it about 20 mins and you'll be pulling of slams in no time. As I stated before this is an arcade game and with an arcade game comes simple control. you have your grapple button, your punch/kick button and your run/block button. Sounds wierd huh? Well it is. When you start the game, you may find yourself shocked at the fact that there are only 3 options to choose from. However if your shocked you havent read any other reviews:) Exibition is the arcade part of the game. 10 matchs win or lose. Thats it thats all end of story then you have the rumble itself. Madness I tell you.Im sure you have al heard it, 9 wrestlers in the ring at once without an ounce of slowdown. Not much strategy there just beat your opponents ass and kick em out the ring to be the winner. This is where many think the multiplayer aspect shines the most but I disagree. I think its the vs. mode with 3 friends all goin at with their chosen partners that makes this a kick ass game. Ah yes the partners. this aspect of the game IMO is the tightest part. when you select your wrestler you get to choose a partner to help you out during the match. there help ranges from double team moves, to finishing moves, to handing you a weapon to smash some skulls with.

The only Problem I know for a fact people have is with the small roster of wrestlers to choose from. 21 characters is not that small a number when you think about the wrestlers you pick regularly in any other wrestling game you own. All I have to say about that is "GET OVER IT". All in all the gameplay is great as long as you have friends to play with. This game is not for outcast :)

Graphics: T
he graphics are very clear and crisp. They do what is needed to please the eyes. The colors are vibrant and are actualy pretty eye catching. Bottom line you will know all the wrestlers when you see them.

Sound: The sound is the worst part of the game. the punches and kicks warrent the same sound and the music in the backround is garbage. You do hear about 10 seconds of each wrestlers theme when they win a match but thats about it. Sound could have been much better then it is
