Video Game Reviews of Showdown: Legends of Wrestling
Customer Review: Maybe The Greatest Wrestling Game Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this game about a year and a half ago at K-Mart for like 40 cents in the bargain bin. I wasn't really expecting too much as the first Legends Of Wrestling game was pretty bad. The second one followed and was panned too so i didn't even bother. When I saw this for sale though the price was right and I was really digging on the nostalgia factor with all those great legends i grew up watching from the 1980's and early 90's. I was hoping for at least a decent dose of video game wrestling action and to say i was pleasantly surprised is an understatement! This game is simply one of if not THE BEST wrestling games ever made. The graphics are a little cartoony to be sure but it evokes the wrestling era of the 1980's and early 90's perfectly. The controls are really easy to learn and master with hundreds of moves of every kind from technical, grappling, submission, high flyer, turnbuckle, martial arts and simple brawling. You can cheat too with lots of weapons available at ringside and tables to smash opponents thru! The various matches available make for endless playability with 1 on 1, tag team, 3 on 3, 4 on 4, tournament, hardcore, submission, iron man, first blood, steel cage, table, ladder and the epic royal rumble! The real meat and potatoes of this game however lies in the deep roster of wrestling legends from the WWF, WCW, NWA, AWA and the various territories. This roster includes all the signature finishers, fighting styles, entrances and outfits (4 different for each wrestler) of each legend including managers! If the legend you want to wrestle with isn't here you can create him or her using the custom creator which lets you build up a sizeable stable of wrestlers. My brother and i have about 60 or so additional legends we created to go with the ones already in the game and these all have signature moves, outfits and so on. The action is called by Tony Schiavani, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and "The Living Legend" Larry Zybysko and while repetitive, adds to the fun with some memorable lines "Blood, beginning To flow!". The game is buggy and will occasional stop altogether mid match but the amount of fun derived from this game is immeasurable and we always end up coming back to play again and again despite the fact that i own an XBOX 360. I've tried the other WWE games and i wasn't at all impresssed. The rosters were too new and no legends made for an unfulfilling experience as i'm no longer a fan of professional wrestling and haven't been interested in it for like 12 years or so. This game is very similar to the WWF Royal Rumble And WWF RAW games for Super Nintendo and the WCW games for N64 and a must own for fans of that era of wrestling. "Just Get To The Wrestling Schiavani!"
