1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, March 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: ECW: Hardcore Revolution (Game Cartridge)

I played WM2K before this. When I looked at it, the barbed wire ring seemed nice, so I rented it.

I wish I hadn't.

It's got many features WM2K has, including Create-A-PPV, Career Mode and more. Throw in configurable matches, many known wrestlers and it seems this game is as good as WM2K. Right? Wrong. There were many things which irritated me a lot. Among the foremost were the impossibility of executing certain moves, like the Irish Whip (I wish I could just whip the enemy into the barbed wire). Another thing is that the commentator sometimes referred to the two wrestlers as "Player 1" and "Player 2", which annoyed me. The difficulty of a great deal more things, which could have been done with one mere button press in WM2K, served only to aggravate me (the manual doesn't even explain how to read the moves list found in-game). Overall, matching up fights and designing wrestlers is good for this game, but the core of it, the actual gaming, is lacking terribly. Don't buy it.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Hardcore Revolution" is as "extreme" as TNN's ECW, March 14, 2000

This review is from: ECW: Hardcore Revolution (Game Cartridge)

I bought it on the first day, thinking it would be possibly the most hardcore wrestling game ever. I was disappointed, to say the least. (I returned it the same day.)

ECW itself is entertaining and a great alternative to WWF or (ugh) WCW. However, the game is boring! Joey Styles' commentating is barely there, and the fast-paced action we expect from ECW is watered down--even WCW is more hardcore than this! The game features a great cast of characters, but it lacks several key characters (like The Sandman). The assortment of weapons is more diverse than any game, but they pack no punch.

Unless you want to play more of the same boring Acclaim wrestling, don't bother with this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but LOTS of glitches., March 6, 2000

This review is from: ECW: Hardcore Revolution (Game Cartridge)

When I heard Acclaim was going to switch to ECW games after losing the WWF license to THQ, I thought it would be pretty cool. Finally this promotion that has a strong fan following since 1993 will be getting its own video game. Well I purchased the game, and found it to be a good first effort. However, if you've already played Acclaim's WWF Attitude, then you might get the feeling that you've played Hardcore Revolution before, as it's basically the same exact game with new wrestlers and a couple tweaks. There are a few bugs in the game, such as announcer Joey Styles referring to wrestlers as "player 1" and "player 2" very often, even though their names are recorded in the game within his commentary. This never happened in the WWF game, so theres no real reason for it to happen in the ECW one - especially since it's the same game engine. Nonetheless, many of the features such as Create-A-Wrestler and PPV Modes have been improved a bit since the WWF game, and the new barbed-wire mode isn't bad as well, but ECW fans deserve better than a re-packaged WWF game, in my opinion. If you haven't noticed, the game is rated M for mature, since there is some mild swearing words and trademark ECW chants in it. The "F word" seems to be bleeped though. Overall, if you're an ECW fan, then you'll love finally having a video game based on them and will like this title - as do I. If you're not a big fan of the group and just like wrestling games with Attitude already in your library, then you might want to save your money for the next ECW title, "Anarchy Rulez". Acclaim promises that one will be released later this year, and will have a new wrestling engine behind it. I hope it lives up to the hype.
