Title: Don\'t Laugh guys (and girls) but is Legends Of Wrestling any good?
Post by: FifaSeriesFan on January 11, 2002, 07:54:04 AM

I know everybody won\'t be expecting this question but as I\'m a fan of the WWF, is Legends Of Wrestling any good?
I know everybody lives in a world inhabitied by serious games like MGS2, DMC, SR2, SH2 and so on...but I am buying this before MGS2 comes out and as a wrestling fan has anybody played it?
I wanna get it but I own WWF Smackdown! JBI so is it worth it?
I say that as I wanna know if it plays better than THQ\'s time filler of a game...
I hope they have entrance themes as well as Hulk Hogan\'s was cool when I was a kid...

I haven\'t played it, but I was skeptical that it was (since they look so similar) based off Acclaim\'s earlier wrestling titles, WWF Warzone, WWF Attitude, and ECW: Hardcore Revolution.  They were all the same game, basically, and that got old really fast.  Not to mention they were outshined by their competitors.

Anyway, I\'ve heard that Legends of Wrestling is a new, better engine with a button layout that anyone can pick up and play.

So I\'ve heard that it\'s better than past Acclaim wrestling games, if that helps, but I haven\'t had a chance to play it myself and compare.

Thanks Eik it does help actually...
I\'m hoping the control system isn\'t annoying like Attitude was, especially when its just L1 to do a finisher or O and a d-pad direction to do a grapple or sumthing on Smackdown!JBI. It\'s cause when I was playing the past Acclaim Wrestling titles on multiplayer we had to keep pausing all the time to check our moves list and it took the fun away from the game...
I\'m not moaning it\'s just it could affect a really good game and I\'d hate to see it all go to waste...
Especially as I\'m a wrestling fan and most WWF fans have no patience with being messed around...

i heard somewhere it sucked, but i saw fotage of it and it looks very smooth, the characters a bit cartoony though.....it was showing what buttons to press on the top of the screen, i think they mad it a bit more simpler
