Rumble Roses. Destined to be a cult classic, November 19, 2004

This review is from: Rumble Roses (Video Game)

[...]

Ofcourse there is a stigma that this game is for perverts (the half naked anime girls help create that stigma), but it’s actually a really good game. I found the wrestling to be brutal&funny, and I found the story mode to be hilarious & Corny & Creative.

For wrestling fans, I found Rumble Roses to have the best submission system for any wrestling game I have seen to date. I also like the heel/face system of the game. The heel/face system of the game lets you choose whether your wrestler will be good or evil. The good and evil characters have different moves, story modes, and ring entrances (which adds more fun to the game).

Being an old Nintendo gamer from the 80′s, this game reminds me how far video games have progressed. In my day your had to imagine what your 8 bit charaters looked like. Now, not only can you cleary see your characters face, but you also see facial expressions and a moving mouth.

Not sure why this game is rated M. It’s pretty tame compared to games like Grand Theft Auto and Blood Rayne. The outfits are pretty revealing, but I don’t think this game deserves an M.

A Review from someone who has actually played the Game, November 16, 2004
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Rumble Roses (Video Game)

The girls look great, better than any other fighting game’s girls. The game is sexy and fun. The controls are great, similar to the WWE Smackdown games, even if there are fewer moves. On the negative side: The game is very easy, and I suspect that it woln’t have a lot of replayability.

The “Season Mode” and the CAWs of the WWE games were a big reason why those games had a lot of replayability that this game doesn’t have. “Story Mode” is five or six matches. Since the game is easy, it woln’t be too much trouble to breeze through all of the characters.

Similar to the WWE games, most of the characters control in similar ways, with a emphasis on timing rather than button-press sequences like Street fighter. Most of the girls control similarly: some are better at getting the opponants to submit, some do more damage and some are good at filling the new “humliation meter.” But, in total, the girls don’t have nearly as many varied moves as the wrestlers in a WWE game. On the other hand, the moves that the girls are able to do look stunning: over the top brutal moves, but in no way do they push the game into fantasy.

There are only two types of matches: a “ring” match and a “mud pit” match. The mud pit match has ladders, so it plays a lot differently from the ring match. There are also weapons hidden in both arena. However, weapons are hard to control. So, there just isn’t a lot of variety to be found in the types of game.

Playing through the Story mode unlocks the bikinis for exhibition mode, and the alter-ego for story mode. The wrestlers look gerat in their bikinis. Achieving “face or heel points” in exhibition mode helps unlock the alter egos of the wrestlers in exhibition mode and also unlocks the gallery mode, where you can leer at the posing wresler.

The two player experience isn’t great. There are a few seeming death-loop combos, which isn’t forgivable in fighter games today. The game isn’t as play-balanced as, say, DOA.

If you are at all interested in Rumble Roses, you must rent or buy this game. I for one am loving the concept: why the WWE games don’t let you play as scantily clad women during the main 1-player mode is silly. The girls look beautiful and I’m sure that the graphics will give next-gen consoles a run on their money. The game is a ton of fun, but I’m afraid that it is short and will not offer a bunch of replayability.

Good ideas equal good game, July 13, 2005
By 
Emmett Frost (Las Vegas, NV) – See all my reviews

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Rumble Roses (Video Game)

Rumble Roses is wrestling with an all women cast. It’s a first to try something like this (that I’m aware of.) Since this is Konami’s first wrestling game, you can expect some pro and unfortunatly some cons as well.

The main reason to play is for story mode. In story mode, you guide your wrestler thru seven different wrestlers to uncover her reason for being in the tournament. Every single girl has her own reason and ending. While some stories are good, others are just interesting or weird in my opinion. As you finish story mode you will also unlock other wrestlers. So, there is a little more replay value trying to unlock everyone. While story mode is the main mode to play, there is other modes as well. There is multiplayer mode and even a Rumble Roses belt to fight for. And to be new and daring, there is even a “Mad Mud” match. You and your opponent duke it out in the mud.

The gameplay is played out just like anyother wrestling game. In fact the same company who makes the Smackdown games, also helped make this game as well. So you can pretty much get the feel of the game if you played Smackdown before. The controls are very, very easy to learn. The only thing missing would have been a tutorial helping out new people to the game. While each girl has her own special moves, alot of the moves are reused repeatdly.

As you can imagine, each girl has her own theme as well. Since Konami, makers of Dance Dance Revolution, is the creator of the game, you can tell how the themes turn out. The music in this game rocks. I only wished I lived in Japan where a soundtrack was legally realeased. Not only does each girl have her own theme but as well a voice. The voice overs are nicely performed but the things they were told to read could have been better.

The graphics in the game was realistic-looking and sharp. If you didn’t know any better, you would have thought you were watching a real women’s match on television. Sometimes things like shirts,hair, or other body parts will go right through the character but other than that, WOW.

All in all, I will applaud Konami in their efforts to bring us a women’s wrestling game. What I loved about this game is that it teased us with it’s risque outfits and lingo and didn’t go out to bring nudity. Also, it wasn’t like other games to go all out with the tna factor like Smackdown with it’s bra and panty matches or like Dead or Alive with it’s naked women. The only things I didn’t like is that you cannot be the main character and alter ego at the same time unless with a cheat device. There also could have been a endless season mode but that would be kind of pointless since there is few characters; so I kind see why that probably wasn’t there. Maybe in the future we can see a sequal with a create a wrestler mode and more wrestlers. I don’t think people know about this game but a few. While this is certainly not a children’s game, it’s a game that can be enjoyed by anyone loving women in wrestling.

Lineup & Career mode alone make this a winner, December 10, 2001
This review is from: Legends of Wrestling (Video Game)

Having been recently disappointed by Smackdown: Just Bring It, I went out and picked up Legends of Wrestling. After playing it all weekend, I came to the conclusion that taking certain aspects of both and combining them into one game would create the ultimate wrestling game…but having to pick just one for now, Legends is the best.

The first thing that I saw in the game was the roster, which absolutely blew me away. Characters include such greats as: George "The Animal" Steele, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Terry Funk, Hulk Hogan, Rob Van Damm, Sabu, The Iron Shiek, Rock ‘N’ Roll Express, Ted Dibiase, Mr. Fuji, Don Muraco, Bret Hart, Tito Santana, Rick Martel, the Road Warriors, Kerry Von Erich (during one of the between-bout loading screens, a picture of the whole Von Erich family is shown, but I’m not sure how many of them are playable characters) and loads more. Those of us who grew up with 80′s wrestling will be in heaven here.

Gameplay has two basic modes, exhibition (one match) and career. Exhibition only has four or five different modes, as opposed to the 70-something Smackdown has, and this is the main place where Legends loses out to Smackdown. Career mode is far superior to Smackdown’s Story mode, however. In Career mode, you select a wrestler and start their career, working through the various regions of the country to claim the title and move on to the next region. Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart was my manager…Lou Albano is another manager available in the game; managers can also be turned off, as can blood and a few other options. You work through various types of matches, including 4-man elimination, 3-way elimination, single & tag team. The goal is not just to win, but to get audience approval, and therefore popularity. You need popularity in order to get a title shot. Doing things like repetitive actions (working a match doing nothing but chops for example) will deduct from the ‘match excitement’ level, which is used for determining your popularity increase at the end of the bout. High spots, finishers and move variety will increae the excitement.

Controls are fairly basic and easy to use. The main drawback to gameplay is that the controls can be a little sluggish…the controls in Smackdown, while being a bit more complicated, tend to respond faster than Legends.

Legends also has a create-a-wrestler feature, as does Smackdown, though it’s not as comprehensive. Several arena’s are also available to use in Legends, though wrestling seems to be restricted to the ringside area; no backstage brawling as in Smackdown. On a positive note, throwing an opponent into the side rail in Legends causes them to be hurt, unlike Smackdown which just stops them and makes them turn around, which bugs me to no end.

In all, Legends is a solid wrestling title which is tons of fun. If it had the numerous exhibition modes, brawling locations, create-a-wrestler enhancements and control tweaks of Smackdown, it would be the ultimate wrestling game; for now, it is pretty darned close and in my opinion, a notch above Smackdown.

The Legends, November 14, 2001
This review is from: Legends of Wrestling (Video Game)

From what I have seen in Gamespot’s preview section of this game Acclaim has started from scratch with the engine. Also, the weapons will actually do a large amount of damage for once. Which also brings to mind that blood is in the matches which really pleases the crowd. Acclaim is attempting to use a combination system in which we can link moves. Lets not forget that the submissions are tweaked a bit too, now a person has to button-mash like mad to either get out of the submission or to keep it on. On a final note I admit I had my doubts at first but from the sound of things Acclaim has a good chance to redeem itself.

Legends of Wrestling: A definate 4 star game, January 13, 2002
By 
Erik Roth (East Hartford, Ct United States) – See all my reviews

This review is from: Legends of Wrestling (Video Game)

The graphics are exceptionally well done, although there are some major clipping bugs. As Terry Funk, I attempted to climb out of the ring, Funk went through the motions of stepping over the top rope, only to remain in the ring; walk through the ropes while falling through the ring apron to the floor. Another major bug I noticed was in a four way match. While I had Jerry Lawler in a sleeper on the canvas, another wrestler pinned the 4th wrestler in the match, this caused Terry Funk to remain on the canvas in the sleeper hold position. You ask what the problem with that is? Well, Jerry Lawler disappeared. After eliminating the other guy, which would have left myself as Funk and Lawler in the ring to battle it out, where ever I walked Funk would jerk to the right as if there was a ghost hanging around. The only way to end this match was to enter the pause menu and select quit game.

Another thing you will notice about the graphics, is that some of the wrestlers are overly exaggerated. King Kong Bundy is a lot larger than One Man Gang, when in reality in the 80′s they were of similar size. Wrestlers are also a lot more muscular than you will remember them. It looks as if Acclaim was going for the 80′s cartoonish wrestling look, but that is not to say that the game is at all cartooney.

The entrances are a nice touch, although they get a bit repetitive, easily skipped by using the start button. There are some load times that you won’t find in SmackDown, but they’re not too bad.

The ring introductions are nicely done, and gives the game a 1980′s NWA feel. Both wrestlers standing in the ring, the ring announce introduces the guys one at a time, where he is from, how tall he is and his approximate weight. These can also be skipped, but you need to press the start button about five times on the first one then all after that are also skipped. The music that plays during entrances is basically generic music, although, in the short time I played, Rob Van Dam seems to have his music he used in ECW. Surprisingly, Ricky Steamboat and Jerry Lawler have generic music. The themes are still nice, even though they are not authentic.

It may take only about five minutes before you get a hang out of what each button or button combination does. To run you use R1, striking moves (kicks, punches, stomps) are done with the square button. Using the directional pad, you have access to two other striking moves. Just square is a minimal move, up/down with square would be a different level of damage move, and left/right with square would be another level of damage. This is the system that they use when you use any other attack/grapple buttons. L2 exits/enters the ring, L1 spins your opponent around. The control didn’t seem to responsive at first, but it seemed to improve as I got used to the game.

You have several modes to choose from, these include: Exhibition (versus and tag team); versus matches you can select from a regular one on one match, a 3 way dance and a 4 way dance (these are elimination matches). Tag Team is just what it says, a two on two match up. There is no customization of the matches, other than selecting the arena. There are no count outs or ring outs.

The career mode: select your wrestler and you try to take him to that areas championship title. This is all based on how the crowd likes the match, and that effects how they like you. After the match, you’ll see that your approval rating will grow. The more you do in a match, the more the crowd will like it. However, you will be penalized if you keep repeating the same moves.

Tournament mode: play in versus, tag team or title belt modes. These are short round robin tournaments that comprise of anywhere between two and six participants; one to three rounds. You can also hold simulated tournaments, CPU versus CPU.

The Create mode: There are numerous options, although it is not as customizable as many CAW modes have been, though, it does have the one feature that has been missing for along time. You start with the appearance of your wrestler, is he fat, skinny, muscular? It’s your choice. Is he 5 feet or 7 feet? Again, it’s all up to you. Customize the head, add a mask or headband anyone? How about the mid section, everyone needs a shirt, some elbow pads, how about some brass knuckles on that left hand and a glove on the right one, well, it’s all up to you. The lower body, grab some trunks, put on some knee pads or a knee brace, select your boots and we’re all set to go (you can even select flip flops). How about your ring entrance, want to make it different than your pals? Let’s go for it, we can select a robe, we can select a jacket or tee shirt. This is what all games will need in the future, and it is a welcome addition. Style, everyone needs style. Are you a brawler, a high flyer, a technical wrestler? Your masterpiece is nothing without a name, give him one that fits his look. Is he a face or a heel, it’s time to choose now. Next it’s time to…

Hulkamania Runs Wild on the Wii Brother!, March 30, 2011
By 

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: WWE All Stars (Video Game)

I have been a huge fan of wrestling since I can remember and I grew up watching the WWF so this game’s roster blows me away, but this game has much more to offer than just a great roster. The Wii version of this game does not look as sharp or crisp as the Xbox 360 version but it still looks pretty darn good. All Stars has several hidden characters and costumes and that will keep a player busy for a while.

Gameplay 4.5/5
Gameplay in this game is a bit hard to learn but once you get that hang of it you will be able to go toe to toe with Andre himself. Doing moves and finishing moves are simple in this game and that is a very good thing for the most part. You can pick up weapons and bash other players down with weapons such as a chair and crutch. One of the best things about the gameplay is how there are 4 different character classes in the game. Big Men class is the funnest because those guys have awesome power but the Acrobat class of characters are very fast moving people who can be on one end of the ring one second and the other side the next.

Modes 5/5
This game has a lot of fun modes and to me these modes are much more fun than the modes in the SVR series.
1. Fantasy Matchups is a mode that puts a Legend in a match with a current Superstar and before you play the match you pick who you want to be, and before the match you get to watch a very cool video that hypes the match between the two wrestlers.

2. Path of Champions is a mode where you fight through 10 matches to earn a title. There are 3 paths you can take one being the World heavyweight Title path, two being the WWE Championship Path, and last but not least the WWE Tag Team Championship Path. Call me old school but I like these story modes better than the ones that show up in the SVR series.

Content 5/5
There is a lot of content in this game from several hidden outfits to several wrestlers. With a total of 30 wrestlers in this game and each one having at least one hidden outfit this game will last a while. There are hidden characters, arenas, and Fantasy Matchups.

This game is a blast for any old school WWF fan and it feels so fresh compared to the SVR series. The roster in this game is amazing and it will be so much fun to take Hulk Hogan and Macho Man (The Mega Powers) to the Tag Team Championships Brother! So if your a WWF fan of the past or a WWE fan of now buy this game and feel the Power of Hulkamania like never before Brother!

fun game nice to have the legends back, July 26, 2011
By 

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: WWE All Stars (Video Game)

Having played WWE All Stars on the Xbox 360 I expected this version on the Wii to be just as much fun, especially since fun is what the Wii is known for above all else, but I was left feeling disappointed. Some aspects such as basic controls and single-player modes are similar to the Xbox 360 version but the game is let down in all other areas.

The game has Exhibition matches plus two main single-player modes: Path of Champions and Fantasy Warfare. The Path of Champions mode has three stories: World Heavyweight Champion path which ends in a showdown with The Undertaker, WWE Champion path in which you’ll prove yourself against Randy Orton, and the WWE Tag-Team Champions path in which you’ll work your way up to a battle with HBK and HHH as D-Generation X. Fantasy Warfare has a variety matches between wrestling legends and current superstars with a fictional title on the line, for example: Hulk Hogan vs John Cena for “Biggest Superstar”, Steve Austin vs CM Punk for “Superior Lifestyle”, Mr. Perfect vs The Miz for “Perfectly Awesome”, and The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels for “Mr. Wrestlemania”. These Fantasy Warfare matches could be quite boring, and no better than regular exhibition matches, but the developers have managed to avoid this. Each fight has a cleverly edited promo using a selection of real clips of both wrestlers in action. By the time each match began, after watching the entertaining promo, I was actually quite excited for the battle ahead.

As well as regular strikes and slams there are powerful signature moves at your disposal which can see your wrestler leaping into the air with an opponent before slamming them into the mat with great style. Successful strikes and grapples fill a momentum bar which is split into three sections. When each section of the bar is filled you’re able to attempt a signature move. There is also a Finisher Meter and when this is filled, and the opponent’s energy is low, you’ll be able to pull off an explosive finishing move – but not right away. You must first activate a taunt and it’s only when the buttons are pressed a second time, as long as the opponent is in range and doesn’t break up the move with an attack of their own, that the finisher is activated. The opponents rarely stay on the mat very long which makes it difficult to taunt them and prepare yourself to perform the finisher move by the time they get back to their feet. This can be frustrating; attacking at the wrong moment may result in losing momentum and it can be difficult to pull things back in your favour when the opponent has the upper hand but the frustration is balanced by the excitement at stopping an opponent from doing the same to you.

The graphics are adequate for a Wii title and the cartoon wrestlers, with their exaggerated muscles and overall size, fits more easily with Nintendo’s console than the PS3 or Xbox 360. Having said that the animations are much jerkier on the Wii and the movement of wrestlers, which already feels more sluggish than the Xbox 360 version, can suffer from slow-down and this can be frustrating. Sound is also a problem with the crowd feeling eerily lifeless, strikes and slams sounding flat, and some audio, such as the referee giving a three-count, sometimes not working at all. Also, the commentary from Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler, which is fine for the most part, can sometimes jump between audio tracks and this makes it seem as though the pair are stuttering.

When it comes to multiplayer; Wii owners have once again been short-changed with only local multiplayer available to them. I find the omission of an online multiplayer mode baffling. Wii owners understand this game can’t compete with the version on Xbox 360 and PS3 when it comes to graphics and sound, given the obvious hardware differences, but not having the option to play with friends who aren’t sitting next to them seems like a slap in the face.

Lots of fun, steep learning curve, March 29, 2011
By 
M. Brown “Game Analyst” (Carrollton, GA USA) – See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
  

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: WWE All Stars (Video Game)

I had high hopes for this one, and, barring this weird control scheme, needing just a few more features, and some sound hiccups, I have not been disappointed. I got this for me and some of my coworkers, who all grew up with the WWF Superstars. We are having a blast. Read on to see.

Graphics-5/5. This game looks really good on the wii, surprisingly. Sure, the reflection off of the wrestlers has been scaled back significantly form the ps3/360 version, but they still left some sense of it. When going one on one, the detail really shines since the characters are so large and detailed. Really good work for the good ol’ Wii.

A lot of people have been unhappy about the exaggerated character models. I think they are great. I wish I had had action figures like that when I was a kid, and that is really what it reminds me of; playing with action figures, hyper exaggerated muscles and all. It’s a very unique art style overall for the game, and I think it works. Couple that with the over-emphasized signature moves–people flying up into the air, spinning wildly when they get a side head kick, or being juggled (yes I said juggled) really adds to the whole package visually. I really like watching the entrances, taunts, and victory poses, too, as THQ got them right (watching Ultimate Warrior run to the ring…oh, man) and slipped them right into this jacked up artistic package.

Gameplay-4/5. Standard wrestling fare; one button to attack, one to grab. Add to the mix a combination button system to heavy attack and heavy grab, and things start to get a little weird. Shaking the Wiimote pins opponents, gets into and out of the ring, and grabs weapons? Combine button presses for counters, signatures, and finishers, it starts to get a little difficult. I am finding the learning curve steep here, for all the arcadey over-the-top action. One cool feature is that you can save up your finishers via three little slots beneath your character’s portrait. You fill these up by beating the snot out of everyone else. Fire off a signature, slot depletes, repeat. Finishers work off a separate meter determined the same way and boosted by taunting.

One interesting feature is the Rack Up Mode at the end of each match. The game will rank you in stars based on how well you do in Offense, Defense, and Technique. Nothing major, just a nice touch to me.

There seems to be a lack of match modes. You have 1:1, Steel cage, Tornado Tag (All four in the ring?), Elimination, Fatal Four Way, Handicap, and No Rules (which just puts weapons at the side of the ring). TLC? Ladder? Backstage Environments? Actual Tag Team Mode (would’ve been great with the Wiimote), Royal Rumble? None of this. Minor gripe, but it still feels slightly incomplete as a wrestling experience. Other games have packaged more.

Two other modes to the game, aside from Create-A-Superstar; A mode that has you playing the biggest names against each other, and another that has you facing off with a gauntlet of wrestlers till you get to a boss, presumably for unlockables. We have only been at it for a couple of hours, so we haven’t got it all yet. And yes, there are unlockable wrestlers, costumes, Create-A-Superstar pieces, and venues. Classic Undertaker? That takes me back…

One note; there are no females in this game. None. Very strange, and limiting to the female fan base that exists. Bad move, THQ.

Sound-3/5. Weird grunting, and what sounds like men crying when you get a chain of big moves together. Also, Jerry “The King” Lawler and Jim Ross say the same stuff over and over. Gets a little old after awhile. I also noticed some stuttering when you have 4 players and one of them hits a signature move. The sound will skip and crackle like its confused. Other than that, all the entrance music works!

Overall, I would like to see a sequel address some of these minor hiccups, give me more costumes, wrestlers, venues, and matches. In the meantime, I gotta get to work unlocking more wrestlers! This game is fun. Go buy it now.

The best Wrestling game by far (for any system). Smackdown: Shut your mouth seems to improve on every aspect of its predecessors.

Season Mode: Drastically improved covering the main storylines of the last 2 years including, The WWE brand split between Raw and Smackdown, The return of Shawn Micheals, the NWO, The McMahon/Ric Flair Feud and more.

Wrestlers: With just about every wrestler the WWE has to offer you can pick or create your favorite grappler including The Rock, Stone Cold, Brock Lesner, RVD, Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle and more.

Matches: Just like the large amout of choices in wrestling there is also a large choice of matches including, Tag, Lumber Jack, TLC, Steel Cage, Hell in the Cell, Battle Royal, Hardcore, Survival, Last man standing, I Quit, to name a few.

Locations: The season mode hosts 14 Pay Per Views including the ones in England. You can wrestle on Smackdown, Raw, Heat, The World (the WWE wresteraunt and club), the streets, Boiler room, and more.

Unlockables: As with the previous Smackdown game you can unlock hidden game features during story modes including CAW parts to create wrestlers, Movies and arena’s.

GamePlay: More moves, counter moves and taunts make this the best wrestling game period. A must buy for any fanatic.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is an excellent game, and a lot of fun to play., November 23, 2002
By 
John Rossi (Somers Point, NJ United States) – See all my reviews

This review is from: WWE Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth (Video Game)

Well, here it is, the new game in THQ’s SMACKDOWN series. And here is my two cents’ worth on it.

First off, the graphics are improved over the last game, and the roster of superstars includes many more wrestlers to choose from. Entrances and lighting effects are brillintly done, giving you a feel that you are wrestling on TV. Soundwise this thing is great, too. Every move actually resounds with impact when you hit, even a standard punch, whereas in Just Bring It, some moves would sound DEVASTATING on impact (*BOOM!*) and others would fizzle out. There is absolutely NOTHING like hearing a WEAK little *pop* when you have just smashed your opponent face-first into the canvas.

Other great points: The commentary is not THAT much better than JBI but at the same time it is a LOT better in the sense that although they can repeat phrases they don’t do it as much as before, and the lines have a little more to do with what is going on in the ring. Plus the way that Good ol’ JR and Jerry
“The King” Lawler deliver their lines just SOUNDS better and less stiff than Michael Cole and Tazz did it in JBI.

Another big plus is that you have more freedom than ever as to how you want your created wrestlers to look, move and whatnot. And the best part…say it with me….SEASON MODE! HALLELUJAH. Now, instead of wrestling four matches to win the Heavyweight Championship Belt, you have to go through TWO FULL YEARS of matches. AND hang onto your hats boys and girls, it gets even better than this. After you win a belt, you can have other types of matches. In other words, not EVERY match will be a title defense, like it was in JBI, where if you won a belt, the STORY mode would be one match where you had to defend your belt and that’s it. This gives you plenty of time to form alliances and pick fights and so on. Believe me, I have been involved in several heated feuds already, and the game gives you the motivation to want to protect your buddies to the last breath and to knock your opponents head off and laugh at them after you win. More than that, it does a great job of making you feel you are a part of the WWE roster because your wrestler has a two year “career” instead of a four-match display of wrestling prowess. Also, with the new counter system requiring more guesswork, it is harder to win matches and consquently it can be harder to get title shots, and to win the belts, so that when you do win a belt you feel like you have accomplished something. Another plus, you now have the option to attack your opponent after you win a match. Perfect for the times you just BARELY managed to win and want to vent your frustrations, or for the times you have thoroughly beat the stuffing out of your opponent and you just want to add a little more salt to his wounds, or to add a little insult to injury, so to speak.

There are some minor (to me) issues with the game, as some have mentioned. You cannot wrestle for or defend belts in exhibition mode, and the female wrestlers you create cannot be used in Season Mode to a great extent, as there is no Women’s Championship Belt. To me though this didn’t matter. To some it may, but not to me. I am having far too much fun with my WWE career. And I happen to think that how FUN a game is to play is far more important than any features a game may or may not have. And for the record, blood is not necessary. It would have been sort of neat to have blood in there, but having the wrestlers bleed or not is a tiny issue. The game isn’t any less fun for me to play just because the wrestlers don’t bleed.

Well, that’s my piece. Pick this up, if you get the chance. I wish you many hours of fun with it, and happy gaming. Peace, and God bless you.

This review is from: WWE Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth (Video Game)

WWE Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth is without a doubt the best wrestling game ever if not the best game period! The games graphics are incredible! You can see sweat and the faces cringe in pain for moves like the figure 4 leg lock! With all new wrestlers including: DDP, Stacy, Torrie Wilson, Rey Mysterio, Booker T, Billy, Chuck, Brock Lesnar, RVD, Jamie Orton, Lance Storm, Billy Kidman, Jon Cena, The Hurricane, Hulk Hogan, Batista, Shawn Micheals, The NWO (way cool entance!) and I think Rosie and Jamal are included. The entrances are new entrances and new outfits. A new and IMROVED story mode makes the game worth playing over and over again with new match types like inferno matches. Defintitly a must have for any wrestling or non-wrestling fan!…

Great beginner stick and easy to mod, September 23, 2011
By 
Matt V. (Philadelphia, PA) – See all my reviews

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: PlayStation 3 WWE All Stars Brawl Stick (Accessory)

The WWE Brawl Stick is essentially the same as the Street Fighter IV Fight Stick (Standard Edition) that Mad Catz released a while ago. However, the buttons and joystick feel slightly improved; the joystick feels smoother and more responsive while the buttons are less stiff. I’ve never tried the Mad Catz TvC Wii stick, but I’ve heard it’s very similar in feel. For arcade stick beginners, this stick is a solid option without having to drop over 0. If you are serious about fighting games and want to step up your game, I recommend switching to arcade stick; games like Street Fighter are meant to be played with one.

The case fits easily in your lap without feeling to baulky or heavy. Rubber feet on the bottom keep the stick steady if you want to play on a table. The USB cord is plently long. In my opinion, this stick is a great size and has all the features you could want in an arcade stick (see product description for a complete list of features).

The best thing about this stick is it’s very easy to mod. The buttons have quick disconnects, which means no soddering is required. Higher quality buttons, such as Sanwa or Seimitsu ones (about – each), will snap in easily. The stock joystick and mount is the same size as a Sanwa JLF, one of the best joysticks on the market (about ), so swapping the joystick is similarly easy. The hardest part about modding this stick is switching the artwork (unless you want The Rock staring at you while you play). To give you a rough idea, upgrading this stick will cost you an additional for premium parts. There are plently of step by step guides online for modding. Here’s a link for one very helpful guide:
[...]

Overall, this stick is a good buy and can be easily upgraded with a little extra cash.

nice but 1 issue, October 8, 2011

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: PlayStation 3 WWE All Stars Brawl Stick (Accessory)

this is a decent fightstick. it’s not top quality but it feels good. for a beginner or i should say a returner to stick, it hasn’t disappointed very much. there are some areas that can be improved to make the stick a bit better but it is easily modded (this is my intentions).

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
the joystick had an issue from the beginning. it didn’t engage properly for jumping forward and backward. i was hitting the corners correctly but the character was only walking. it seemed that the actuator was not connecting with both switches in the corners, so i had to input slightly more to the up side to get a forward or backward jump. however, i corrected that by modding the actuator on the joystick with some electrical tape. this caused the switches to engage slightly sooner and allowed both to be activated in the corners.
the stick is a square gate and will take getting use to since i was accustom to circular gates. but the gate can be changed with an octogonal gate(or circular gate if found). so i ordered an octogonal gate to provide more familiarity for myself. I will see how the joystick operates with an octogonal gate before replacing it (if necessary). since good players use square gates it should be an issue for some people.

WHAT’S NICE
the BUTTONS are very responsive. i don’t think that they will need changing until they start to fail.
the TURBO function works great. so far i was able to complete some of the trials on SSF4 that has eluded me when is was playing the pad.
the FIGHTSTICK has good weight and don’t move easily while playing. it has a sturdy build and look like it can take some rough treatment.
it’s easily MODDED. this is great for this stick. a SANWA JLF and 30mm buttons can easily swap out the originals. no soldering required! there is also a template on the net for replacing the artwork with your own custom design (unless hour with rock and who ever the other man is. i’m not a wrestling fan).

CONCLUSION OF OPINION
it is a nice stick that you can work with. if your looking near perfection, look elsewhere! i suggest that modding is the way to go if the stick don’t feel or perform to your expectations. a SANWA JLF joystick will cost around US and an octogonal gate around US online. this should be all that is needed. since this SE (standard edition)fightstick is for US and modding is about US, US0(before shipping) should provide you with a great feeling fightstick. this is less than what u would pay for a top of the line stick like a TE (tournament edition) fightstick.
this stick is definitely worth the 70 bucks. i suggest buy and mod.
