Advantages: Lots of wrestlers, good season mode, good AI system and Create A Wrestler!
Disadvantages: Only one year of season mode! - But it lasts Long time!
Forget Smackdown VS RAW, TNA Impact - The Videogame, and any other wrestling game on a console (unless it is Fire Pro Wrestlign Returns on the PS2). No matter how old you are or what type of wrestling fan you be, without a doubt, WrestleMania 2000 on the N64 is the best Wrestling game of all time.
After moving on from the WCW games on the N64, THQ had a shot with the big time... the WWF (now WWE). The game was an uber hit. The graphics bugs had been fixed from the WCW games making this one the best ever. With a large list of wrestlers and a great storyline this game had it all.
This game was amazing because it had you fixed without the need for online gaming. You could unlock more wrestlers like HBK, Jerry Lawler, Dude Love, Cactus Jack by going through the story mdoe with a huge set of wrestlers.
You could choose from a long list of wrestlers, a choice of tag team partner and a choice of attire. What more could you want. The entrances werent perfect and you dont come out with your belts but that didnt matter back then... nobody expected it to happen.
It is hard to explain how good this game is to a younger generation. The gameplay is great, the match lengths could go on for long time, especially with good opposition. It has the perfect AI settings and you can tell which wrestlers are better than others when facing them. You can see the difference.
This was the historic time of the WWE, gaining recognition with stars such as The Rock, Stone Cold, HBK, Triple H, Billy Gunn, X-Pac, Jeff Jarrett and so much more. If you really want you can wrestler as good old JR - Jim Ross.
THe Road To WrestleMania storyline is one of a kind. You get one year and in that year you work on RAWs, HEAT and PPV's to get to the top. If you get to the top and win the King of the Ring and Royal Rumble then you will get your chance to headline Wrestlemania 2000 for the WWE title.
I chose to be Edge and unfortuantely because I did not win the title I was suddenly stripped by Vince McMahon of my title so he would give it to the leader of the corporation - The Undertaker. I was very PO'd! There are a lot of hints on the internet and strategies that should be used if you want to get far. When I was younger I couldnt get past the first title chances (The Hardcore Title). Now i am good enough to be Edge and go all the way through and win every title. The game is quality. Unfortunately I was very dissapointed with the follow up on No Mercy.
I wish that another game like this was released today which incorporated the whole wrestling world. It would be so easy to do and extremely quick.
However, those dreams wont come true anytime soon... but this game will entertain me for many years to come. Lets just hope I dont break the cartridge or my Nintendo eh!
Summary: Nobody Could Make A better Game! - Not Even on the PS3 or XBOX 360!
