Rehash, but still Good.

I have to give it to Acclaim, they make the best rehashes i've ever seen. This game is a far larger improvement than Hardcore Revolution was to Attitude, but still lacked something incredibly new. The tables match is really fun, but sort of cheap, but I like how you can jump over the tables if they're in your way, nice touch. The inferno match is a cheap mode that's like a battle royal, with peanut butter and jelly looking fire on the outside. The backlot brawl was surprisingly decent. Some of the object are interactive, like the fence and the barrels, and there are a load of weapons and they actually hit the people realistically with the weapons (not swing them like you would throw a boomarang). Overall, I think this game is what ECW: Hardcore Revolution should have been, but Acclaim...you need to make a new engine next time.

Same engine as WWF Attitude and Warzone.

Well, I'm a little disappointed in Acclaim. They have a great license, yet they don't use it to it's max. The game uses the same engine from Acclaim's past wrestling games, WWF Attitude and WWF Warzone. Why is this bad? The wrestlers look like robots, which is really boring. The controls are the same, too. You have to do 3+ button combinations just to do a simple suplex. To sum it up, the game is like WWF Attitude, just with ECW wrestlers, and a really lame "barb-wired" match.

Excellent ecw

A great game and had me entertained for hours. This was even without looking at the career mode. The game has been good although i cant find any caws for this game. Excellent Brimstone matchs+Tables. The best weapons and well unlimited tables, need i say more. The moves are even better than attitude with not as good entrances or clothes but much more good wrestlers and imitations... There we go and best yet barbed wire and lots of blood. The crowd rule and rule the match its got a lot of things that Smackdown 2 hasnt but a lot less but hey unlimited tables with crowd + n e move through them = good game!!!!!

I love Extreme Championship Wrestling, but...

Acclaim really has got to develop a new wrestling game engine already. Anarchy Rulz is nothing more than an updated version of the Hardcore Revolution game, which was a re-hash of WWF Attitude (1999) and WWF Warzone (1998). It has an updated roster, a few more modes, and seems easier to control than Hardcore Revolution, but that is about it.

Acclaim used to make decent wrestling games, but sadly there just doesn't seem to be much that is new anymore. Four games with the same wacky wrestling engine? Sure you can change the roster, and the controls, but that doesn't make it good. If I were a betting man, I'd bet that the next ECW game will look exactly like this one with a few new faces. Lord knows they re-hashed the same game engines over and over when they had the WWF license. Come on Acclaim, make something more original. ECW deserves it. And while you're at it, cough up a little money and try to get the real themes of all the wrestlers into the games. The generic songs in Anarchy Rulz (and Hardcore Heaven) sound like someone spent an hour making them all on a Casio.

This is one of the worst wrestling games ever made for PSX. It's worse than the first one. The only thing I like about it is that there are more wrestlers to choose from.

ECW ANARCHY RULZ

I love video games. I love wrestling games. I love ECW. Therefore, I am a huge fan of ECW Anarchy Rulz. I even liked Hardcore Revolution.

Now, I know some people do not like the engine, but engines like that exist in the MK series and Street Fighter, among others, and nobody complained about that.

The only thing I have a problem with is the three on one matches. Those type of matches get very annoying. Like I said, I might be biased here, but I would encourage anyone to play the game. In my opinion, the best thing about the game is the tag team career mode.

Some say SMACKDOWN 2 is the best wrestling game ever, and I won't say that is a wrong statement, but ECW will always be at the top in my book.

Just As Bad As HARDCORE REVOLUTION

The title of this review says it all. The makers of the first ECW game didn't learn from their mistakes. This is just as (bad) as Hardcore Revolution. In fact, it's basically the same (darn) game! Avoid this game like the plague!
