Was very excited when I first heard about this game and couldn't wait to get it but isn't that great. The finisher moves aren't as easily done as they claim in booklet for it. I still can't do them actually. Plus it doesn't have none of the special features that were rumored for it. There's no Scaffle match, no barbwire match and nothing you might of heard about. Plus most of the guys on the game never even feuded with each other. Can't have a game with Legends without guys like Ric Flair, Austin, Sting, Luger, Zbysco, Vader, Rhoades and many of the other names that are missing either. Most of the wrestlers in it were never really maineventers either, half of them a mid-carders actually. Too many of the wrestlers do most of the same moves too. Probably the best things about the game is the season mode and the graphics. Other than that it's no Smackdown: Just Bring It. Acclaim shows that they at least improved a little, hopefully they'll get it right sooner or later.

failure, beyond comprehension.

theis game was sooo very dissappointing. if your a fan of the smackdown series....this game pales in comparison so much, that you will literally become ill at the fact that you purchased this game. the graphics are fine, but the game play is so horrific, i had to restrain myself from smacking my head against the wall. please, please, please ignore the exciting looking cover art, and walk past this game, it'll be the smartest thing you ever did. learn from my mistakes and save yourself (money). or walk over and get the smackdown for playstation2 ,and enjoy a wrestling game that is 1,000,000 times better than this dissmal failure!

Don't Believe the Hype

So Acclaim revamps the engine and gets old school cred, but it still sucks. The 40 some odd wrestlers from the "golden" years are really some 20 some with another 20 to be unlocked through gameplay. the problem with this = game play is not good. the wrestlers are slow and methodical with only really four real moves per character. the "revolutionary" combo move system means you can pin the opponent after you suplex him, i for one am amazed. the camera doesn't always follow your man, and a health meter makes the game predictable and boring unlike "real" wrestling. tagging out is very difficult as well as climbing the turnbuckles for an aerial assualt. either stick with THQ or find an old arcade with Mat Mania still hangin around, but don't give acclaim any more money.

what?

Is this game better than smackdown3,it all in who you ask.It's true that LOW my not have as many match types as smackdown3.but what is a new controll,that will either love or hate.Why ?because it takes time to learn it.Other things this game has is the vandamitor(you know the move where rvd throw a chair at the guy and then spin kicks it),and BLOOD yes BLOOD unlike other games it looks real.so how many wrestlers are in it.42 also the someas smackdown3 which 44.So what it comes down to its if you grew it on 80s wrestling,or the way it is now with 3 min. matchs, fireworks,women in thongs,and 29min.s of wrestling in a 2 hour show.so for old school fans buy LOW .For wwf fans that just started 2 years ago go with smackdown3.hopefully next year they will be LOW2 with more macth types.and wwf is getting boring checkout XPWWRESTLING.com

I got the game today and I was only able to have two matches (had to go to work)but it was fun. The list of Legends is awesome and the graphics are great. It moves kind of slow and choppy at times and the new fight engine takes time to learn but it's alot of fun. In my opinion I like it better then Smackdown. I realy find the engine in Smackdown to be annoying and not fun at all. Neither game is perfect or can match up to the N64 "No MERCY" engine but for a die hard wresting fan looking for a soild game with classic wrestlers you can not find on any other game....GO BUY IT!! Not to mention R...V....D and sabu you won't find them on any other game either. I give the game a 3.7 out of 5

The best game i ever played

I saw some screenshots on smarks.tv that really look exceptional.
They've got screenshots from the game including Terry Funk, King Kong Bundy, Harley Race, Rob Van Dam, and others. This looks like a winner!!!

Excellent graphics and a wide variety of options.

'Legends of Wrestling' is a creatively designed game that brings back 'The good times' of wrestling.
This game has terrific graphics and a strange, yet awesome 'Create a Superstar' screen.
Glitches, such as stalling of time or graphic misplacements are rare and very minor. Not many wrestlers are available yet the 'Create a Superstar' menu fixes that.
An incredibly wide variety of attacks are present in the game yet some are quite difficult to maneuver.
Due to the blood and violence in this game, only children 11 years or older should play.
Noting all of the positive features and VERY FEW negative features, I rate this game FOUR stars.

What are you guys smoking!!!

I find these reviews hard to believe because when I played Legends of Wrestling, I wish I could have gone and gotten my rental fee back. This has horrible game play. Though it might be cool to be the great characters in the game, it was so boring as the set moves were weak. I advise people not to waste your time or money on this game.

What a waste!

If you are a wrestling fan, this game is a big disappointment. Sure the wrestlers they have chosen for the game are some of the biggest names in the business, but that is the only good thing about the game. You have very limited moves, reversals are way too easy (in one sequence I think I had seen 8 reversals on the same attempt), and tagging in partners and climbing the ropes are almost impossible. Finishing maneuvers are a waste of time trying to attempt, because the instruction book doesn't give any information on when to perform them. Overall, save your money for the next WWE game (whenever that is).
