This books is awful! It doesn't give you any more information, codes, cheats or tips that you can find for free on the Internet! What good is an official book if there's no benefit? Why should I pay so much money for information I can get for free? Prima should be ashamed of themselves! They're ripping us off!

I thought this was the best guide I had ever had I wouldn't have an undefeated streak if it wasn't for this extraordinary and I mean extraordinary guide.Its a must buy well if you want to win that is.

This game is the follow-up to the wildly popular WCW vs. nWo: World Tour. World Tour was hailed by wrestling fans as the best wrestling game to date, and were delighted to hear that a sequel would be coming out. The popularity of World Tour created a market flooded with great wrestling titles, as well as some mediocre ones. But don't worry, this is definitely the best WCW title to date, even though it's horribly outdated. ----Graphics----The first thing you'll notice once you start playing is the better skin colors. World Tour had hideous skin colors. They were all white. I mean, literally, white. This problem has been solved in Revenge, so it is already better than World Tour. The faces in World Tour were also horrid. They looked absolutely nothing like their real-life counterparts. This problem was also solved in Revenge. Some of the faces are just amazingly realistic, such as Bret Hart and Hollywood Hogan. Some look less detailed, such as Chris Benoit's and Booker T's. But they are still a vast improvement. The areans look great. It's fun to pop in this game just to look at the old Nitro set of 1998. The moves are also more realistic than ever, although the atomic drop is animated too fast. There are still some graphical glitches that occur when doing suplexes and moves like that, but those really don't interfere with the gameplay too much. Graphics: 10/10 ----Sound----The in-game music is nothing to be amazed at. It's not bad, per se. But it just doesn't fit in with the game. I don't want to hear guitars in midi format while doing the Jackhammer on Scott Hall, do I? So like I said, it isn't bad... just out of place. The punches and the sounds of bodies slamming on the mat are great. Nothing to complain about. No entrance music. This annoys me. The ad for this game clearly states authentic WCW entrance music. But do I hear Wolfpac music? NO! Do I hear nWo music? NO! Do I hear DDP's theme? NO! You get the idea. Definitely disappointing. Sound: 8/10 ----Controls----If you've played any of the THQ wrestling games before, you know what to expect. If not, let me attempt to break it down. The moves are pulled off thanks to a grapple system. Basically, you engage in a grapple via the A button, then press a direction the control pad and A or B, and a move is executed. Trust me, this is a lot easier than it sounds. And of course, you also have punches and such, which are executed with the B button. Very good, responsive controls. Controls: 10/10 ----Roster----Yes, the roster for this game is horribly outdated. Please keep in mind that this game was released in 1998. The roster is still great though. You've got all of your favorites, including Hogan, Hall, Nash, Goldberg, Bret Hart, DDP, The British Bulldog, Sting, and more! Roster: 10/10 ----Modes---- Modes are pretty lacking. You have exhibition, which includes singles and tag, career, and battle royal (which is essentially a Royal Rumble.) The career is pretty lacking. You fight 8 wrestlers, and the 8th wrestler has the belt. But the modes are still fun, regardless. Modes: 9/10 Challenge: Moderate ----Rent or Buy---- Buy, brother, before my 24-inch pythons run you over in style and profile, because I am the excellence of execution. Or something like that. Anyway, this is a great game for vintage WCW fans... A definite must-buy.  Reviewer's Score: 10 / 10

it has moves stratagies cheats and all you could need to complete the game

I find this book very helpful because it list the moves and special moves for every player on the game and tells all the submissions and stuff like that.Now,only if I could stop loosing the darn thing.I suggest that if you have this game that you get this book,it's very helpful.

Wow! I have never come across a book this informative of a video game in my 12 years of living. As a loyal wrestling fan, I bought WcW/nWo Revenge for my N64 with out having to think about it. It was awarded best fighting game of 1998. This book deserves to be best fighting strategy guide of 1999!!

it is the best in the world it says everything but everything is to easy so t is not so good

Well, first I'd like to say "Suck it" to all my friends out their in the wrestling land. Now, this book is great if you'd like to know where to perform all the special moves, but they are all soooooo easy to do and they're pretty much the same for each character.From: The "Smack Down" Hotel on the corner of "Know Your Role" Blvd. and "Jabroni" Drive. Just take a left off the "Roody Poo" Bridge on the corner of The "People's Champ" Ave. and "Candy Ass" Lane. Yeah, If ya' smell what The Rock is cookin'! -The Rock

This guide is great. I would pay 15 Dollars for this if I had to. It gives you a comprehensive look at all the modes and things in the game, and along the way gives you unneeded,but cool, info like some wrestlers nicknames, birthplaces and height & weight. It is an excellent example of what Strategy Guides should be. It also shows you (indirectly) how much better this game is than Warzone, Nitro, and World Tour.

One time i went on a train, and it went fast. I like to play with my cat Kong.
