3.0 out of 5 stars ..a shame, October 22, 2004

This review is from: Legends of Wrestling II (Video Game)

As a wrestling fan for 15+ years, this game has some MAJOR issues which make it exceptionally annoying. In particular:
- There is no button to change your wrestlers focus to someone else. It is inexcuseable that they forgot this. Your wrestler automatically directs his attention to the last person who attacked him. So.. say you're in a tag bout, you get too close to your opponents tag-team partner and he hits you. Next thing you know, your back is turned to the legal man in the ring, and you pretty much have to let him grab/hit you from behind in order to redirect your focus and continue your offense. Even better- it's a triple threat match, or 3-team tag match, and you cant turn around to break the pin/submission because your man is still looking at an opponents stationary tag-team partner, standing on the ring apron, who you were just brawling with on the floor for a while. I have been playing the game for 3 weeks now- and unless it is a singles bout, I know I am in for more hair pulling as a result of this. Don't even get me started on what happens when your opponent has a "run-in" from a third party during a match.
- The gambling system is the most ridiculous concept for a wrestling game I have EVER seen. You win green coins for winning matches, then gamble them for other coloured coins which can be used to buy new arenas, wrestlers, abilities ect.. What a joke- this was supposed to be a WRESTLING game, not a b-grade casino wannabe. I'll tolerate this game, because I have yet to see a better wrestling game for the X-box (which doesnt say much).
- Some parts of the game are too unrealistic. Watching Eddie Guerrero powerbomb Andre the Giant is a good example of this. Also- watching a wrestler lift his opponent up on the top turnbuckle for a superplex/other move from the top rope- within 10 seconds of game play also makes me go "hmmm..". Also- I have YET to see the PC opponent follow-up from an irish-whip to the ropes. They throw you, you rebound.. and they walk right in to you. Wash, rinse, repeat. Just once I'd like to see my computer opponent pull off a drop-kick, or even a backdrop.
- WHY IS THERE NO COUNT-OUT FOR THIS GAME?!?! There should be an option to turn count-outs on/off. Right now you could sleep on the floor and the ref couldnt care less.
- What is the point in knocking down the ref to cheat.. when there is no DQ anyway? You can walk in the ring with a chair or a bat, and the ref doesnt do a thing, so the whole concept of knocking out the ref to cheat seems redundant. If anything, he/she does little but get in the way.
I still say the best wrestling game of all time was NWO-WCW revenge for the N-64. Just my 5 cents worth..

2.0 out of 5 stars Huge Disappointment, December 2, 2002

I picked up my copy of Legends 2 for Xbox on the 30th. There are so many things wrong with this game I don't even know where to start.

CREATE A LEGEND:
Create a Legend is VERY limited. There are only a few body types to choose from. You can't modify individual body parts (arms, legs, etc.) like you can in other wrestling games, or like you could in the original version. There is a very small selection of heads and hairstyles, and most of the heads look the same. What happened to the ability to use music from your hard drive for entrance music? This version makes you choose from the existing [look-alike] themes. Again, this is a feature that was in the original that has disappeared in this version. You can however use music from the console during matches. What?

GLITCHES:
I've played the game for about 7-8 hours and have already come across some really annoying glitches. Every time I do one of two taunts (the 2nd is fine) my character freezes and I can't move. In a 3-way match this is very frustrating because you have to wait until one of the other guys decides to kick you in the head or accidentally runs into you before you can move again. Yeah you can change the taunt (and I have), but you shouldn't have to. Another glitch comes in the career mode. The promoter tells me that if I defeat the Rock n' Roll Express for the tag titles I'll face the singles champion for the belt. Well, I've won the tag title 3 times now, but have yet to face the singles champ. It keeps giving me a singles match with some jobber, I proceed to win, and the promoter tells me that I'm going to go for the tag belts and if I win I'm giong to get a singles title shot. It's looped like this 3 times. After that I shut it off and haven't played since.

In my oppinion this was rushed out in time for Christmas. If it weren't for the large number of wrestlers (65+) and the match options I would give it one star.
