Editorial Review

Like their real-life counterpart, wrestling video games have vaulted off the top ropes of the ring and right into our living rooms. You can't channel surf for too long without running into a wrestling show, just as you won't leave a video game retailer's site without seeing a few wrestling titles.

WCW vs. the World takes on the wrestling genre, but with an interesting twist. The game is less about official licenses, and more about the large numbers of wrestlers, moves, and options. Only nine actual WCW (World Championship Wrestling) wrestlers are in the game, with the emphasis drawing from six wrestling federations from around the world.

The gameplay is rewarding, but requires effort. Individual matches last rather long, so you won't see many 30-second bouts. It's not the best wrestling game available, but the many options (including the cool "create a belt" feature) and sheer number of wrestlers make up for its shortcomings. --Sajed Ahmed

Pros:

• Dozens of moves, many different wrestlers
• Above average graphics and better animation than most wrestling games
• Variety of options will occupy you for some time

Cons:

• Bland soundtrack
• Lacks the quirky fun factor of hidden weapons, special matches, etc.
• A lot of wrestlers, but who are these guys?

WCW vs. the World is one heck of a fun wrestling game, unlike the other WCW games this one has different moves for all the wrestlers, which is good! If ya like WCW you'll purchase this game no questions asked, it's a great party game play 8 players, or even create your own WCW Belts and defend them against friends !!!

WCW vs. The World rocks. Sure you can't go backstage but you can go outside the ring. One thing I really liked about WCW vs. The World is that Reversals are easy to do. I once the CPU reversted and than I reversed his move and than he reversated my move again. I'd buy it right away.

When i first got this game i really liked and played it for a long time.But what i did not know was the people who were called nobodys because i find out that they have Terry Funk ,Jushin Thunder Liger ,Hawk and many other .I also like this game for it wide viarety out of moves .Moves you wont see in the U.S.So i say if you like good wrestling then get this game.
