Advantages: Multiplayer! Some cool moves!

Disadvantages: Need a 60hz TV to get the most out of it, and friends of course!

There's not a lot to say about the game, graphics are solid, the sound effects are meaty and the music recreates the atmosphere of the WWF. So no complaints.

Thing is, the game is absolutely dire as a solo experience, there is just not enough options and depth to the gameplay to keep you interested. So a bad game?

Hell no!

Get one, two or three mates around and it suddenly turns into the best thing in the world. It's quite simply one of the best multiplayer experiences ever!

The game is mad in the Royal Rumble mode, with up to eight (I think) in the ring at one time, and perhaps this is why the number of moves for the various wrestlers is kept to a minimum. While they all have punch combos, throws, counters, aerial moves and finishers, you'll still feel the characters are a little similar and it is hard to notice any particular strengths. On a 60Hz TV screen, the game runs unbelievably smoother and faster than on an ordinary 50Hz, so if this option is available, it's recommended.

If you're looking for a wrestling game with a good one player life-span, look elsewhere. If you're looking for hours of piledriving and sleeper-holding your friends, you must buy this game. I'm not even a wrestling fan and I love it.
