Your favorite wrestling game, any console.

[Guest hbkfan]

First wrestling game that I ever played was No Mercy on the N64, but the first one I ever got was Smackdown Shut Your Mouth for PS2...which is also my favorite one to play because it brings back a lot of memories :)

[Guest Jayfunk]

I liked Smackdown one of the best season modes simply. two player and funny as heel my mate won the IC title with the Atomic Drop.

 

Smackdown 2 was also awesome went down hill from then, too story driven.

 

I liked WCW Thunder very simple but massive roster. WCW Mayhem was also good

[Guest John Hancock]

WCW VS NWO was awesome for having a massive roster too.

WCW Mayhem was a really crap game in my opinion.....

It was so awkward to control...

You could have so many dream matches on WCW vs NWO Revenge, like:

Rey Mysterio Jr v Bret Hart

Chris Benoit v Curt Henning

Eddie Guerrero v Hayabusa

and loads loads more....

For awesome commentary look no further than SmackDown! 3.

 

"Spike Dudley has a devastating.... SUPLEX"

 

"There are no disqualifications in this... NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH".

No Mercy on the N64!

 

Not a word of a lie, although I'd love to try Fire Pro one day. My local Blockbuster has a WWF Superstars arcade cabinet, man that brough some memories back!!

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

I think I'd have to say Here Comes The Pain. I dislike the SDvRaw controls immensely, way too complicated. Although my playing involves about 5% wrestling and 95% CAW. I cant remember which CAW I like the best.

 

I have a N64 but I've never played No Mercy, I wish I could though, since everyone raves about it.

Since I have so many consoles, which means I inevitably have heaps of wrestling games, I can't just choose one. So therefore, I will choose my best for each console.

 

PS1: Smackdown.

 

PS2: Smackdown Shut Your Mouth

 

PS3: Legends of Wrestlemania

 

MegaDrive: Wrestlemania the Arcade Game

 

Master System: Pro Wrestling

 

Sega Mega CD: WWF Rage in the Cage (well it is the only one on the Mega CD :lol)

 

N64: WCW vs NWO (no, I haven't played No Mercy)

 

GameCube: Wrestlemania X8

 

X-Box: Wrestlemania 21

 

I think that's all of them.

I do love my Dragon Gate wrestling...I might check it out.... Is this game only in Japanese?

 

Yeah, it's a Japanese only release so a ROM for an Emulator is the way to go but the controls are the same for WM2000 so that's easy to pick up.

WM2000 gets unfairly overlooked by the praise No Mercy gets, especially as it had a much, much better career mode, though I don't think I've enjoyed myself playing a wrestling game in recent memory more than when completing the Replay/Relive/Revise modes on Legends of Wrestlemania.

I disagree, No Mercy's career mode was superior in the way that you had branching storylines, heck even storylines all together. Whilst Wrestlemania 2000's career mode was longer, there was a lack of story other than just trying to win a lot and get a spot in the main event of Wrestlemania.

WM2000's career mode was actually quite dull. in my opinion..

Playing No Mercy's career mode on the other hand was very exciting I thought.

WWF War Zone and Attitude were good back in the day because with no internet in my house the only way i could listen to wrestlers entrance music was when it was on, but Warzone and Attitude let you listen to them when creating a wrestler, which was cool, hours of fun :)

Them games were too complicated to play.... I did enjoy smashing TV's over people's heads in Warzone though.:lol

No they werent! I admit tag team matches were a little tuff, buts thats where the fun was, nowadays their crap but back in the day were games consoles were the only source of entertainment they were brilliant.

Yeah I know there were brilliant games back then..... Is still play No Mercy and WCW vs NWO World Tour...

But Warzone and Attitude weren't anywhere near as good as the THQ games in my opinion. I just don't like having to press start during a match to check how to do the moves.

[Guest Saz]

I think it's one of them that I had fun witht he ranking system, when Jakks came in with their new game I was very disappointed that it wasn't there anymore.
