Amazon.com Product Description

Your signature music pumps through the arena, your fans cheer, your opponent's fans boo, and you even see your own grand entrance on the TitanTron video. Welcome to Wrestlemania. Whether you want to play as one of wrestling's 35 pros, an up-and-coming rookie, or a self-created superstar persona, you can take your wrestler up through the ranks in the quest for the heavyweight championship belt. To win, you'll need to know your wrestler's style to best use his combination of counters, reversals, and bone-shattering finishing moves. WWE Wrestlemania X8 also includes tag-team matchups, more than 40 match types in six different arenas (Raw, SmackDown!, and Royal Rumble among them), and a TV-style presentation with multiple camera views.

The two ways to win Championships work like this. One is the Championship road where you take the wrestler of your choice and work your way up a ladder of superstars to the Championship you want. The other way is that you can win or defend six recognized belts(WWF Title, WWF intercontinental, etc.)or 50 new, original belts in exhibition mode. A cool new feature is The Trophy Slam. You take your championship(of any belt)and save it to a memory card. Take it to your freinds house and defend it there. If he wins the belt than he keeps it on his memory card until you or someone else wins it back.It can keep going back and forth and you can start your own fueds.There will be over forty match types and a FULL SIZE HELL IN THE CELL! Graphics are comparable to WWF Raw for X-box and way better than Smackdowns. It is going to be released on June 11.....Whatcha gonna do when Wrestlemania X8 runs wild on you!?

5.0 out of 5 stars WrestlemaniaX8: Exaclty what a Wrestling game should be like, June 14, 2002

By	"dmashusband" (NH United States) - See all my reviews

AMAZING graphics! I was blown away, and the videos of the WWE were so clear. Everything about this game was awesome. The controls for how to attack were easy and realistic.
The finishing moves all look awesome. The entrances by the stars! They are awesome. The graphics and everything! They walk like people! Not robots or anything! Humans! Wow!
The controls were a little hard to learn, but after 1/2 hour I was using them easily. The finishing moves are easy enough and hard enough to pull off that it feels real! Even my sister, whom hates fighting games, loved this one. The ref made her get outta the ring in tag mode, so I used a Pedigree on the ref, lol.
One thing I don't like, is that it is hard to face other wrestlers, but I am getting the hang of it now. One more thing, and the last bad thing, is that you can't creat your own move in CAW(Creat a Wrestler), other than that, CAW is perfect.
If you are "iffy" at all about buying it, then rent it, cause this game is either you LOVE IT, or HATE IT. I LOVE IT! But you may not agree, so if you have doubts, rent it.
This is definitely the best Wrestling game ever!
