Legends of wrestling is going to rock. it will feature 30 classic wrestlers including Bret Hart, Randy savage, Jake "the Snake" Roberts, and Terry Funk. the men behind the mic are Bobby "the brain" Heenan and Captian Lou Albano. Create a stencil will allow you to write your own stuff on the aprons and ring and stuff. Also, you get to fight in the audience, which is cool. I hope you can knock out the ref and cheat like in Smackdown 3:JBI. it will have great matches including ladder and 4 way dance. the one I cannot wait for is the new scaffold match. That's a match where you and your opponent are set on a platform set 25 ft. or so above the ring, and the first man to throw his opponent off the platform wins. also Acclaim IS the creator of create a wrestler and they'res was always the best. All in all, it sounds like perfect, and I can't wait to get it.

DON'T BE FOOLED

Acclaim has made wrestling games in the past. They are the only ones besides THQ that is competing in this genre. When I first saw the title, I was interested, but when I found out that acclaim would be making it, I was suspicious. Anyone familiar with Acclaim's past track record, knows that the wrestling games they make always require impossible controller combinations to pull off the moves. The graphics are good but always choppy when it comes to moving your players around...players, I might add, that bounce and zip across the ring at speeds faster than sound. I sincerely hope that Acclaim has recognized this problem and cleans up their "Act." Otherwise, I fear that a perfectly good concept will be ruined by a not-so-perfect company. I'll give it 5 stars, just because it isn't fair to hit it with 1 star, when the game could be successful and thus ruin the rating system.

Let's check it, first

I agree that Acclaim has disappointed in the past with it's wrestling games (i.e. WWF Attitude and the ECW games, which just used the Attitude engine); however, seeing how this game is supposed to be for the PS2, I would imagine that they have revamped their engine for wrestling games. Especially since it's going to include some of the all-time greats, as well as the create-a-stencil feature. I'll check out this game when it comes out first, and just may be the deciding factor that makes me sell my PS One and get a PS2. It'll be great to pit Snuka vs Hart in a scaffold match, with the genius of Heenan and Albano on the mic commentating.

Okay, I'm going to hold my breath for this one...

...but I swear to the wrestling gods, if they haven't outright ripped off No Mercy's engine, or at the very least quit using that lame-o War Zone/Attitude/Just About Every Other Wrestling Game They've Produced engine, I will never, Eh-Eh-Eh-EEEh-ver, buy another Acclaim game of any sort, A-GAIN!

Now, I've seen Smackdown 3 for the PS2, and if it's anything like THAT graphically, then I'm down for it.

A question that I do have, since Shawn Michaels has been retired for the last three-and-a-half years, do we get to re-enact the Michaels-Bret Hart feud? If so, I would love to see the game have a Montreal screwjob feature, a la the special guest referee, except this time you're merely the promoter sitting at ringside and you get to tell the timekeeper to ring the bell whenever a wrestler you don't like is in the ring.

Anyway, seriously, I'm crossing my fingers and holding my breath for this one...

Acclaim makes descent wrestling games, but that was ps1. I've seen screenshots of Jimmy Snuka useing his famous Splash & Jerry Lawler using a Piledriver. The graphics look like screenshots of Smackdown 3, so this looks interesting. I would recommened this game to any fan of wrestling from the 80s to the 90's.

Brand new screenshots available!

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!!!

New v.s. Old

If your like me and your getting sick and tired of the "new generation" than this is the game for you. Im only 15 years old but when it comes to restling you would think I was 50. i sit around with my dad remembering the "golden ages" of wrestling as we watch thins (stuff) that they try to pass as wrestling. After playing the internet version of this (...) I cant wait until i it comes out. This is now #1 on the things I want for christmas.

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.

Possibly the best wresling game on the PS2 platform

Ok, to start off if you were a fan of wrestling since you were litte like me, you will asouleutely love thi game. If you did not start liking wrestling until recentely, you will lie this game. If you don't usually like wrestling games you will probably still like this game. It has all of the best wrestlers of all time, awesome career mode, great matches, gappling system youll have to get used to but it will fall i real soon. Can't write much else but this agme is a must hav for anyone who ever likeHlk Hogan,or like me Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, he was my idol, or anything about the old days of the sport.

Just to balance out the other fake reviews

Please, amazon, stop taking reviews from people who say things like "I'm giving this game 5 stars, it WILL ROCK!" when the game isn't even out yet! Jeez, people have nothing better to do. Acclaim in the past has made horrible games that made money, and saying a game is good before it's released isn't going to help them clean up their act. Wait, please.
