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.

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.

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.

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.

Best wrestling game ever developed...

This game is a great example of what Pro wrestling used to be. That is more wrestling and less hype. The gameplay is totally different then Smackdown 3 and for this reason the game has been maligned by some unfairly. It does take time to learn and it can be quite challenging but once you get used to it the controls are second nature. There is great variety in the moves with each wrestler being able to perform 60-80. These correspond to the wrestlers actual career. For example Bundy does no ariel moves while Van Dam does a multitude of them. The moves involving the turnbuckle are extrodinary and very realistic. There is of course buckets of blood for you gore hounds out there. The blood effects are the best I have seen in any kind of game period. I have truely enjoyed this game. It may not have appeal to teenagers but if your an adult who has been a wrestling fan for years you will love it. I do reccommend buying the strategy guide which will decrease any frustration you may experience. I am certainly looking forward to Legends of Wrestling 2.

Excellent Game!

This is an excellent wrestling game with all the great wrestlers from the past. Much better than WWF Smackdown. What you gonna do when the Hulkster and Legends of Wrestling run wild over you.

Stop bashing an instant classic

I read a review by another customer on this game and, quite honestly, I wish he would just shut up. I own both Smackdown and Legends, and Legends is the superior game, and I have every confidence that it will become an instant classic. While Smackdown does do great homage to its noble predecessors, it pales in comparison to the bang up job Acclaim did with this game. Acclaim has developed an amazing new engine, completely seperate from its Warzone/ECW engine, which has greatly improved gameplay. While Smackdown does have a slightly superior Create-A-Wrestler mode, it cannot compete with Legends story mode, which is nowhere near as repetative as Smackdown:JBI's. The characters are also excellent, and I enjoy their cartoon like graphics over the disturbing looks of some of Smackdown's stars. So please, if you are going to post a review about a game, try to say something positive, or just stop whining.
