This game is more of a one-on-one fighter (a' la Mortal Kombat) than a wrestler, but both styles are incorporated into a good fighting game. Get this game instead of the SNES version (the Genesis version has 8 characters, but the SNES has only SIX!).

I had WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcde Game years ago when it first came out, easy to play and hours of fun. I had to buy it again because some douchebags stole my games at my house. I bought it again after I bought the Playstation game because it loads too much at the challenge match at the last match. The Sega Genesis one is better because it has a short load time,but the wrestlers are a little smaller, hardly noticeable it looks close to the arcade version. I use to play this game a lot after school.It has eight wrestlers:Razor Ramon,Bret Hart,Yokozuna,The Undertaker, Bam Bam Bigelow,Doink the clown,Shawn Michaels, and Lex Luger. My favorite wrestler is Razor Ramon(Scott Hall)because he has effective moves plus he is my favorite in real life. I wish Midway would make another one it with 30 wrestlers and still keep it 2d, but have it really detailed it would be so much fun online and two player co-op mode. I would recommend this game if you like 2d fighters and like Midway style of over the top fighting.

Pros: great choice of wrestlers, Mortal Kombat-style fighting, hours of fun, looked better than other wrestling games at the time, a lot of moves for each wrestler, not as cheap as MK, find out different combos, digitized graphics make wrestlers look real, 2 player co-op mode

Cons: digitized graphics don't look as good by today's standard, too short only has 8 wrestlers

This is a great arcade style game. It is not for the people that want realistic but more of the street fighter/mortal kombat person.

HEY YO THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNEST GAMES OUT THERE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A N64 I STILL LOVE THE GAME . IT IS REALLY FUN FOR DIE HARD WRESTLING FANS!

If you love WWF now its called WWE this is a great video game from sega genesis.
You can pick 8 superstars any mode from easy to hard and what title belt to go through the game.
The royal rumble match is not easy to beat in hard mode. You have to fight all 8 superstars in that level.
WWF meets mortal kombat. Still a great game to own.

I have to admit I hadn't started watching wrestling too early, so I never really watched WWF-I only watch WWE. I don't even watch TNA, so I'm just a WWE person. For people who've played games like Street Fighter Series/Mortal Kombat Series/Streets of Rage Series/Tekken Series like me and have enjoyed them, I would recommend this game to you. It's not too entertaining, and it gets really boring after a few hours, you'll just want to leave it lying on your unused video game pile for a while before breaking it out again after a few months. Other then that, it's a good game, although not fit for me that much, more for the hardcore wrestling fan that doesn't really care about the quality...still a classic worth paying for, although it vaguely reminds me of a WWE Plug and Play game I have, and I bought it for around ten dollars, I got this for a cheaper price. =)
Genesis owners and wrestling fans, rejoice!
I'm more of a new generation wrestling video game fan and a beat em up fan, so don't take my opinion too much into consideration, try looking at the other reviews first, and look at them as a whole. >Sort of biased<
