5.0 out of 5 stars Great game because you can add wrestler to the game., August 27, 2000

This review is from: WCW Nitro (CD-ROM)

Yes I got Nitro PC and at first I thought is was a waste of money. Then I found this site on the internet that made wrestlers and new rings for the game. They have all the WWF and all the new WCW guys and you can play with them in the game. I've been playing off and on for the last two years. This is the greatest game ever for the PC. Oh by the way the address for that site is

4.0 out of 5 stars Wrestlin' Good Fun On the PC, March 10, 2009

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: WCW Nitro (CD-ROM)

WCW Nitro is great fun. It's not perfect, but it's not bad by any means. Wrestling games on the PC are few to none, and with consoles dominating the sports area of video games, this is probably one of the last wrestling games PC gamers will get to experience. And it's a pretty good one to boast.

There's a huge selection of wrestlers to choose from. You have the works of the WCW and the nWo (new World order). Each character is detailed nicely, from their faces down to the amount of lightning bolts in Hollywood Hogan's pants. The animations are pretty good, even for an older game. All of the moves are animated according to their wrestler's fighting style, so you get a good sense of individuality. One thing you may not like with the animations, however, is the smoothness between moves. Unlike today's games where every polygon has individual programmed physics into them, this game is based on scripts. So sometimes you may be in the middle of an animation and it will just jump to a new one. Still, this was very familiar during the time of this game. All of the entrances and intro music is there. This just gives the game a more realistic feel to it.

One fun thing you can do is actually open the texture files and modify your characters look, which is fun if you're into making your own style of wrestlers. This is pretty cool since you can actually put more detail in the textures than what was originally intended.

Wrestling games may not ever appear on the PC again, but you can still have a lot of fun with a good controller and a friend. I highly recommend this if you just want some cheap wrestling fun.
