I personally think this is the WWF's best Gameboy game, however it is very dated! In fact only Shawn Michaels is the only superstar still in the WWF. There are only eight superstars to chose from, however in return for that they are rather quite big compared to other WWF games. Tons of moves, no finishers though. No SGB or CGB compatability though. There is a king of the ring, exhibition, tag team exhibition and a championship to go for, as well as the original create a wrestler function! This game goes along the lines of RAW and Royal Rumble for SNES.

Overall this is an OK game because of bad graphics,slow play and bad moves.The characters look really weird and the moves stink.I like you can create a wrestler but you just control his speed and power.You cant alter moves or apperance.It is kinda fun,I would recomend it but there are better games out there like wrestlemania 2K.

WWF King of the Ring is an OK game, but lacks a couple things. GOOD = lots of wrestlers, real wwf ring, easy play control BAD = poor animation, no GBC compatability, The overall game isn't really worth it, although it can give you hours of quality fun.

The Good - The cast is pretty extensive for a Game Boy game: Bret Hart, Yokozuna, Hulk Hogan, Lex Luger, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Randy Savage, Mr. Perfect, and a ninth "Create-A-Wrestler" that kind of looks like Tatanka. There is a little bit of variety in single and tag team matches, and, of course, the King of the Ring tournament.

The Bad - The attempt to assign individual speed, strength, and stamina ratings is kind of useless; the wrestlers still run (but don't walk) at the same speed, and Shawn Michaels can slam Yokozuna, anyway. The Create-A-Wrestler can only be customized according to the useless ratings just mentioned and by name, but not by look. Plus, the actual wrestling moves - bodyslam, suplex, and hiptoss - have no effect on your opponent whatsoever. Also, the button-mashing lockup mode doesn't include the Irish whip, which makes the clothesline and hiptoss impossible unless your opponent chooses to charge you. The wrestlers also share the exact same moveset.

The Ugly - The graphics, of course. The ring itself looks good, but the crowd and "concrete" floor look like they were just thrown in there, and the wrestlers (complete with skinny legs, huge bodies, and tiny heads) look cartoonish and goofy. Overall, a bad game with good intentions.

Recommendation to avoid.

I ordered the Elimination Chamber and the ad said The Chamber and 2 figures included. When I received it there were no figures and on the box said figures sold seperatly. When I went back into your ad, it then said figures sold seperatly. Had I know there were no figures included I could have been prepared but I didn't open the box until Christmas Eve to wrap it and it is now a little late to go and find the figures. I will not be ordering from this site again, your advertisment was false as far as I am concerned.

the new game wwf king of the ring is now revaled with 8 wrestlers 1 with shawn micheals you can make your on wrestler even appcence like Undertaker and kane you can go play on this Raw for Xbox and Royal Rumble For SNES too this game is rated E for every one with gameboy color the game is cool
