If you have played WWE No Mercy or WWE Wrestlemania 2000 on N64, then you will be familiar with the control mechanics of this game. The controls are almost identical--except for a few modifcation that improves the gameplay. I was a big fan of THQ's WWE series on N64, so I'm very pleased with this title. There are several drawbacks though that they better fix for the sequel. Only up to 4 guys can...
Strengths: Great wrestling engine, nice graphics and tight controls.
Weakness: Weak storyline mode and a lack of playable characters.
Featuringa tuned up graphics engine, a better array of wrestling moves and a tighter, more focused story mode, DOR has everything a wrestling fan could ask for. Well almost everything, the sory mode can be hard at times and there's a lack of playable characters when compared to other WWE games. HOwever it's still a very good wrestling title, the best there is on Gamecube.
Strengths: Greatly improved over Wrestlemania XIX
Weakness: Lacking in match types and roster
WWE wrestling has returned to Nintendo Gamecube with improvements over its predecessor. In terms of graphics, every wrestler is detailed fairly well. The animations are well done and definitely are in many ways better than what has been seen in the Smackdown games. The sound is also pretty generic and as you would expect in a wrestling game. The game's gameplay is particularly nice. The game...
Strengths: It's WWE Wrestling, One of the last games that the Rock will be in, The intros are awesome, and every type of match is here including bra and panty matches.
Weakness: The Rap/Rock soundtrack seems a bit out of place for a wrestling game, the create a player may be a little too in depth for some people.
WWE games seem to be a dime a dozen and this game doesn't really do anything to break the mold. While this game doesn't really add anything new to the genre, it doesn't really do anything bad for the genre either. The game has a very solid single player mode, and matches a plenty. My complaints are that during some of the multiple wrestler matches things can get a little too hectic, and the fact...
Strengths: Very Similar to the No Mercy's grappling engine
Weakness: Poor roster, presentation not as great as Smackdown series
I'd give this game a 5 in rating just because its my favorite wrestling engine. The spirit meter has stayed on in the Gamecube series of WWE games and thats what keeps me coming back. However theres a lot of things that can be held against it. No matter how much I love the engine, the presentation and extras just does not compare to the PS2 WWE games. There just isn't a lot of extras compared to...
Being a semi-wrestling fan, I heartily enjoy this game. While I'm not completely faithful in watching the wrestling TV shows, I've always been a major fan of wrestling games. The only problem is my own fault- I didn't buy this until July 2005 and by now the rosters are slightly out of date. Great game, can't wait to buy the next iteration with updated rosters and new tweaks.
Strengths: Bra + Panties Match
Weakness: None really
This is the best wrestling game I've ever played. The graphics are excellent, and the controls work well with the Gamecube controller. The characters are all developed and have great moves. Plus, there's a bra and panties match, how awesome is that?
Strengths: Deep custom character creation mode, involving story mode, excellent gameplay.
Weakness: Smallish roster, only one story mode, limited entrance customizations in terms of songs, etc.
WWF No Mercy for the N64 is easily the greatest wrestling game ever made. DoR copies the excellent gameplay but takes the graphics and customization options up a notch. The major flaw is the lack of several storyline selections (ie Tag Team path, Intercontinental path) or the ability to play as an established Superstar. The addition of new match types is most welcome, as well. Otherwise, highly...
Strengths: Good graphics, solid gameplay. The story mode is also pretty original and lengthy, although it doesn't give you a lot of choices to make.
Weakness: The roster of wrestlers to choose from is fairly short, although all of the "big names" are on there it is missing some stars like JBL or the Dudley Boyz.
This is a pretty solid wrestling game all around. The create a wrestler mode is fairly deep, and you can make some intricate customized entrances, choosing the camera angles, lighting, pyro, etc. for several segments of the entrance. The gameplay is pretty solid for the game too, better than that in the Smackdown! series. The list of wrestlers available is disappointing, although all the big...

It takes perseverance to amount to anything in pro wrestling. The country is full of those who never amounted to anything in the business -- yours truly included. Likewise, it takes the same commitment to succeed in the pro wrestling video-game biz. THQ has been slowly building its skills on the current console generation with baby steps in some respects, and even a few steps backwards.
Top
Talk to a Nintendo fan about wrestling games and they're bound to reminisce about the Aki-developed WCW and WrestleMania titles for N64. These games even today are fondly remembered for their arcade-quick play mechanics and user-friendly grapple systems. The combination sounds simple enough, but successfully re-brewing the formula has over the years proven next to impossible for developers....
