Amazon.com Product Description

Legends of Wrestling brings 30 of pro wrestling's all-time best out of retirement and back into the ring. You play as Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, George "The Animal" Steele, and others. You can also create your own wrestler or build a team of wrestlers.

The game features 12 bone-crushing match types, ranging from the ladder to six- and eight-man elimination bouts. Singles and tag-team career mode take you to arenas across the U.S. and all over the world. Throughout, you can link moves together to create near-lethal combos. Special guest referees are on the lookout all the while.

Legends of Wrestling's TV broadcast style uses new camera angles and cutscenes. In-depth match analysis and career guidance comes from Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and Captain Lou Albano himself. Interactive wrestler entrances, complete with crowd responses and grappler taunts, heighten the realism. And if you want to go super pro, use the create-a-stencil feature to add logos and text to the ring attire of your favorite legends.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY! RAW IS SO MUCH BETTER, September 23, 2002

By

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

I give this game a NEGATIVE 2 STARS. The gameplay is slugish and the characters look TOO cartoonish, like a Mr. T cartoon. WWF RAW is much better and I'm sure WWE RAW 2 will be certainly better also when it comes out. AND to make it even WORSE you come out to some generic music, you don't come out to the wrestlers classic theme music. This game is bootleg. PLEASE BUY WWF RAW and/or WWE RAW 2 when it comes out. I'm begging you. Read my reveiw on WWF RAW and HOPEFULLY see why its much better, people say this is better? All you need to do is get the hang of how to play RAW and You'll love it. I admit there is a lack of matches such as ladder matches,TLC matches,Royal Rumble, but this game does not have it either.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, so so game., February 23, 2002

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

I got this game for the PS2. X-box games tend to have better graphics and sometimes extras features, but never are that far different from what they are on other systems.

Now the concept of this game is fantastic! Any wrestling fan's dream come true to be able to be so many different past superstars, some of which are no longer with us. Unfortunately, Acclaim (makers of the game), despite creating a new grappling system for this game, still fail at making a great grappling system, so you'll find moves to be very difficult to perform a lot of times. Graphics are on the cartoony side, which didn't really bothered me much and are actually quite good.

You have nowhere near the match options other wrestling games of today, like WWF games, have. no cage match, ladder match, or even barbwire matches.

Overall, if your a long time wrestling fan, buy this game. Your appreciation of the old wrestlers featured in it will justify the purchase, but if your not a wrestling fan or are more into the new style of wrestling and don't really know any of the wrestlers in the game, pass on it. You'll more than likely not like it.

1.0 out of 5 stars slow and stupid, August 11, 2003

By A Customer

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

This has got to be one of the worst games i have ever played. The action is slow, there are few moves, and is just plain boring.
