The first video game to cover Mexican wrestling, Lucha Libre AAA: Héroes del Ring features dozens of real wrestlers from Mexico's premiere wrestling federation. Each of these possesses the acrobatic, over-the-top action that Lucha Libre, and which inspired modern professional wrestling around the world. Additional game features include: a popularity based scoring system, the ability to create you own luchador, authentic Mexican wrestling venues and more.

The game also features a popularity-based scoring system which allows players to unlock increasingly acrobatic and devastating moves based on the player's ability to gain the support of the audience through the execution of taunts aimed at humiliating one's opponent, as well as holds and other moves both legal and not. The game allows you to play as one of 30 real-life AAA wrestlers from Mexico's premiere wrestling federation. In this you have the choice to play as either a "Tecnico" (Face/good guy) or a "Rudo" (Heel/bad guy). Each of these has their own storyline in the single player campaign. In addition, players can create their own luchador character and take him all the way to the top of the game. Either way you play, Lucha Libre AAA: Héroes del Ring is a refreshing change of pace from games that have come before it and a true evolution of the wrestling genre.

3.0 out of 5 stars I've played 'em all -- AAA is mediocre. October 21, 2010

I'll play (and have played) just about any wrestling game released, so I was excited to see what AAA Lucha Libre was bringing to the table. I didn't expect it to be as robust as the THQ WWE games, but I certainly didn't expect it to be eclipsed by Midway's TNA Impact either. As a matter of fact, the wrestling and overall look is somewhat similar to the Impact game -- animations are smooth, if a tad generic, and the action is playable, but mind-numbingly repetitive. It's a vanilla experience all around. Where AAA really fails though is not in the gameplay experience, but the overall package -- a small roster, only four slots for created luchadores, limited match modes, and a long, poorly executed story mode.

This is EXACTLY the kind of lackluster niche game that ends up in the discount bin after eight months or so. If you can hold off until then, it's not a bad buy for $20. Otherwise, be warned...It's a basic game that doesn't offer a lot of bang for your buck.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good game December 30, 2012

If you're a die hard wrestling videogame fan and youre in between games or waiting for the next WWE title to come out then this will keep you busy for a week or so. Its easy to get a hold of the controls but doesnt flow fluidly as you would like. If youre just in to the WWE/THQ games then maybe this one isnt for you.

Okay first off its not Smackdown Vs Raw 20whatever so, get that outta your head second eventhough its not smackdown vs raw its still fun to play the two best wrestlers in the game are La Parka and Psychosis they both can kick ass some of the entrances of the wrestlers are lame but, some of them are cool too the commentary sucks so my advice is turn it off bottom line its a wrestling game and its suppose to be fun so, on a scale from one to ten one being the worst and ten being the best id give it a seven you may not play it everyday but, you will enjoy it when you do play it!
