Amazon.com Review

Finally, the Rock has come to the Game Boy Advance. And he's not alone, as he's joined by 23 other WWF superstars in WWF: Road to Wrestlemania. Wrestlers like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Edge, Chris Jericho, Triple H, and William Regal are here to participate in a nice variety of matches in several settings. Basic match types include singles, tag team, triple threat, handicap, and cage matches. WWF novelty bouts such as King of the Ring, Royal Rumble, and ironman matches are also included.

Users can select from a variety of rules, including time limits, count outs, pinning victories, submission victories, and hard-core rules. The action takes place in six arenas that mimic the various WWF television shows and pay-per-view events. Best of all, the game supports a link cable, allowing up to four players to participate in the mayhem.

The gameplay is surprisingly deep. The simple controls allow for more than 40 moves, including signature finishers. When each wrestler enters the ring his theme music plays to a slick video montage, much like it does on the WWF TitanTron. Unfortunately, the music that plays during the action will get on your nerves. The character models are good, but the animation is a little off, making the wrestlers move in a jerky fashion. Also detracting from the game's flow are moments when the opponent's artificial intelligence seems to blank out, making him stand around for a few seconds. That said, these flaws are relatively minor compared to the depth and variety that's packed into this cartridge. You can finally enjoy the larger-than-life superstars of the WWF in the palm of your hand. --Raymond M. Padilla

Pros:

• Cool ring entrances, especially Regal's
• Lots of moves
• Nice variety of matches, rules, and rings

Cons:

• Sluggish AI
• Jilted animations
• Grating music

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, November 20, 2001

This review is from: WWE Road to Wrestlemania (Video Game)

Hey, this game is awesome, check it out. It has many matches including ironman match and royal rumble. Titantrons are the same as TV, a little outdated, and the pictures don't move. Harder to play than any other handheld WWF game but its still the best. Gameplay is awesome. In season, after 4 matches, which is a month, you get a password. You sometimes go to Pay-Per-Views like King of the Ring and Summerslam. You fight for the WWF Title at Wrestlemania. Gameplay is like Smackdown! for Playstation. This is a must buy game!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good for GBA, February 18, 2002

This review is from: WWE Road to Wrestlemania (Video Game)

I made a decision to either buy Fire Pro Wrestling or WWF Road to Wrestlemania. I decided to get this game and it turned out to be pretty fun! They have submission, tag, triple treat, handicap, cage, hardcore, and regular fighting. They have favorite WWF PPV's like Royal Rumble and King of the Ring Wreslemania. I am disappointed that in the Royal Rumble only four wretlers can be in the ring at one time. 24 different wrestlers like Rock, Stone Cold, Kane , Undertaker, X-Pac, Triple H, Regal, bob holly, angle, tazz and Raven(which I didn't expect to be in this game) are all here plus more. The music is okay but william regal's music sounds like his very realistic and very good. Well what can you expect for GBA. The gameplay takes to long to win a match it is around 6 minutes. Some flaws doesn't make this a bad game go and get it.

4.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS!!!, June 7, 2004

This review is from: WWE Road to Wrestlemania (Video Game)

This game sucks compared to Road to Wrestlemania X8, which in turn, is still not as Fire Pro Wrestling. I found out the hard way by buying this after I bought Road to Wrestlemania X8. Please do not waste your money.
