A new career sim written by Glenn Sharrock. The basic objective is to win matches thus gaining more skill points which then elevates your abilities and allowing you into better Federations. There are 20 enterable feds in ROAL, some are real and some are fantasy. First things first, you must enter your details to create your character, name, age, etc and then a limited number of personal attributes points, these will help you in the game. Your next job is finding a fed that will allow a wrestler of your skill to enter. Yes you begin with the jobbers in the lowest fed of all. Once you have beaten more and more wrestlers the better you get and you can go elsewhere. Lose and your going nowhere buster! The match engine is kinda tricky to begin with, you and your computer opponent both have a time limit in which you must perform moves, go to slow and your gonna get your ass whopped. Its kinda realistic but hinders you in the way where you don't really have much time to think about your move strategy, I found myself button bashing most of the time to help destroy my opponents energy level. Luckily the timer does fluctuate up to around 5 seconds, so you aren't going to give yourself cramp by bashing too much (no comments please). Overall its an entertaining sim which you aren't going to complete very quickly at all, you need quite a lot of points to get close to WWE so this isn't a 5 minute sim, a good save feature which stores all the info correctly. The layout is clean and professional and there appears to be no game ending bugs. ROAL comes with a built in "quick help" feature to help the "n00bs" understand how to play the sim. ROAL can become a little repetitive at times but luckily there is a scenario feature (which includes a nice PWSE scenario so you can wrestle me) its a nice way of distracting you from climbing the mountain. A career game with goals and ones that won't be achieved quickly, a slight let down in the match engine but at least you can see what moves you read the report of the match afterwards so your button bashing isn't always for nothing.
