    WWE Legends of WrestleMania

    From the creators that brought you the Smackdown vs Raw series, legends of Wrestlemania is a simplified brutal adventure down memory lane. Gone are the complicated control schemes, they have been replaced with a fairly simple yet clunky controls.

    Legends of Wrestlemania allows to to relive many of Wrestlemanias big fights over the last 25 years. From Bundy vs Hogan to Honky Tonk Man vs Brutus the Barber Beefcake, all the big fights are there. You can either relive, re-create history of those big fights, in other words you can also play as Bundy and win against Hogan to redefine the fight.

    All fights have an owesome video feature that is about 2 minutes long that shows you the events that lead up to the big fight. In typical WWE style, these videos are the highlight of the game as they are over produced and very well edited, fans will love them.

    Were Legends of Wrestlemania falls short is in the visuals, sound and gameplay. The review so far has been quite possitive, however the core fundamentals of the game leave a little to be desired. Although the controls have been simplyfied they are not simple enought. I would have loved it if they made this a true arcade game like wrestlemania was back in the day. Instead it feels a little clunky and is a bit of a let down.

    The character models are a bit of a hit and miss, some look ok and others look pretty bad. Hogan for example is way too buffed and his model isn't really an indication of what he looked like back in the day. The graphics in general are just ok. The crowd looks terrible as per usual.

    Sound is ok with comentary comparable with any other wrestling game out there. There is a cool feature to import all wrestlers from your WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 game. As long as you have a savegame you will be able to import all wrestlers.

    Overall WWE Legends of Wrestlemania is an average wrestling game which will please the hardcore fans of the series. It fails to fix the playabilty issues that have plaugued the series for many years. Bring back Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game I say!

    Gameplay = 6.5
    Visuals = 7
    Sound = 6
    Game Now Score = 6.5/10

      BROTHER!I love pro wrestling. Well, let's back up a bit. I loved pro wrestling. The World Wrestling Federation was just as much a part of my childhood as The Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Mario. Perhaps my earliest wrestling memory is watching Hulk Hogan eliminate Earthquake from the 1991 Royal Rumble match. But it wasn’t until Wrestlemania XII, where “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels defeated Bret “Hit Man” Hart in the first-ever Iron Man Ma...

      "Dun dun dun dun duhduhduhduuuuuuuuhhh! When it comes crashing down and it hurts insiiiide"! Who can forget sitting at home watching some old school classic wrestling. 3 different colours for the ropes, a wrestlers persona could pass off as him being a barber and wrestling was a different kind of technical. I have very fond memories of those days and can clearly remember watching for hours with my brother, playing with the figures and of course wrestling with him. The next time i really reg...
