Pros: Graphics, movesets and realism
Cons: No in-depth entrance creator and "Career Mode"
Firstly, for their first try Gigante have made a excellent wrestling game for the Xbox. Having been sick of Raw and Raw 2 for simply being rubbish (and also tempting me to buy a PS2 for the Smackdown! series) I bought a gamecube and Wrestlemania 18. Put simply I went on to buy the next 2 games in the series (Wrestlemania 19 and Day of Reckoning) which were both outstanding games. So when I heard Wrestlemania 21 was to be a Xbox release I shuddered with excitement until its release. WARNING!! Dont read reviews that say it is appaling cus its really not all bad...
Graphics: Amazing motion captured superstars, every move looks genuine (you may be fooled into thinking your watching Monday Night Raw... your not.) Superstars are amazingly detailed and accurate.
Sound: Every punch will make you cringe... AND!! no bell ringing noise when you hit a lowblow, must be a first. Custom Soundtracks and all that, although you need look no further than the default game soundtrack.
Gameplay: Outstanding mechanics, outstanding execution of moves. Much fun to be had with many different match types, contains most game modes (a bit lacking compared to the new Smackdown! game.) Now career mode is slightly strange, all the cutscenes are amazing (and I mean amazing) but its got the old 'lose a match and its game over, try again...' thing. But you unlock new things like, moves, wrestlers .etc by earning money.
Longlivety: May not last too long, but then again no wrestling game does in my opinion. Fortunately, i dont watch WWE anymore so I dont need updated games.
In conclusion Gigante Studios made a nice debut in Wrestling but they are still rookies, lets hope next years game has made the improvements we all hope it will. I recommend this game (dont hold me to that...) Thanks for reading... "Jax Lancer"
Pros: great story line
Cons: too long to load
The graphics on this game are really good. The story line in career mode is very entertaining, and I love the voice overs.
I don't like the control nor the long loading periods. In career mode you can't keep going once you win at wrestlemania, like on RAW 2.
Creating a wrestler is not as good as in RAW 2. The game is fun and I enjoy playing against other people.
So far to me RAW 2 was a better game over all.
Pros: if you buy it at rhino you can switch it out
Cons: if you get it at eb games youre screwed outa 50 bones
#1 How in the world can you review a game before it comes out just by screen shots?PLEEZE!!!! Anyway i myself dont religiously watch wrestling but i like to slam my freinds every now and then on a game. I figured this game would be awesome because hey,if no friends are around to destroy i can play online.Well after STUPIDLY buying this game at EB GAMES I get home to open up complete garbage!!!!!! #1 The graphics on this game are nothing like the screen shots splashed all over EB GAMES website. These graphics are mediocre at best(and i have the 60 inch big screen and hi def monster cables to back up this statement). #2 tHE CAMERA IS SITUATED TO FAR FROM THE RING !!!!All those tats you spent an hour putting on your wrestler look like road rash. #3 The custom move dont work...well,by the time you finish micro-moving your wrestler to the right position for a special move your opponent gets up THEN....#4 SLAP SLAP you go down writhe on the floor for 10 -15 seconds going OOMPH!! OOMPH!!!! by the time you get up its #4 submission hold,OOMPH,OOMPH submission hold OOMPH,OOMPH! for at least 4 times in a row THEN.....#5 1,2,3, your out !!! what the F#@#!!!!! plus must i go on, menu load shudder glitches, crap announcers, NO GIRLS in create a wrestler??!!!!!but hey that crap story line has good graphics !!!! WHATEVER!!! if we wanna see a movie we rent from blockbuster. OH I FORGOT ..RELEASED WITH NO ONLINE PLAY?????? ooh but they have a patch ,but can it fix the graphics GAH_BIJ say it with me GAH_BIJ.
Pros: Great Game
Cons: Fun
This game deserves a ten. I had my douts when i first got it because of the glitching and what not, But they have corected themselves with an online update and if you dont have online a replacement disc. I think that if your a true wrestling fan an mabe your not, you will still enjoy this game. Thanks for your time.
