When I got this game I thought I was purchasing a wrestling game all this game basically feels like is like all your doing is fighting exhibition matches it has no story and the character customization is just pitiful with very little options to truly create any kind of original wrestler as like the smackdown series the graphics are pretty well done but with so little arenas and just 10 wrestlers to chose from this just dosent warrent the 60$ price unless you have to get a wrestling game and the fighting system is very easy to pick up and play in about 10 minutes or little you might master this game decent game just not worth the steep price tag

Its All about the T&A

Overal-4 ****
Rumble of Roses is a average wrestling game although it has some of the best graphics than any other wrestling game to date. You have pleny of Character choices all with multiple alter ego(ie. Superstar, heel, and babyface). This is a decently fun game with an easy to understand gameplay, which can get boring after a while but still be fun.

Graphics-5 *****
The Graphics in this game is totally amazing. The Ladies of Rumble of Roses practically come to life. Even though the visuals are for the Mature gamers, not for younger kids. There are times when the videos get a little choppy but nothing that takes away from it. This game uses the power of the 360 to its most. The physics of the wrestlers bodies are well lets say like DOA 4.

Sounds-4 ****
Sound in this game is also a plus the entrance music for the wrestlers match perfectly. The voice work are always synchronized with their mouths. Everything with the crunching of the bones and smack of their fist against the skull is great. No ring announcers are present which isn't a bad thing as they can repeat themselves a lot. During the matches the music seems to stop and you are left with a gap before it starts again.

Controls-3 ***
The control seem confusing at first but you get used to it and it becomes fairly easy to control your wrestler. Pulling of your moves are easy but it seems that there aren't very many for your character. All the wrestlers control very differently from the power players to the speedy ones. Pulling of you Finishing moves are very easy with just pressing the left bumper. You get quite a few finishers and tag team moves, that are also very easy to pull off.

Gameplay-3.5
There is no real story mode present at all. Also don't expect any ladder matches, first blood, casket matches. But you do have your normal tag matches, 3 way matches, There is also a Steet fight in where you have a life bar in which you lose when you bar hits 0. An intresting match is the Queens match in which the loser of the match must perfrom some humiliating event ranging from doing the hula hoop to getting squirted with a water pistol. There is a lot to unlock from new character. Also trying to unlock wrestlers alter ego's and getting their superstar modes by increasing thier popularity. I was disapointed that you can't change over the belt in exhibition modes. Multiplayer with you friends can get a little hectic as focusing on different wrestlers if diffictult.

Personal notes: If your looking for a great wrestling sim wait till smackdown comes in. But if your looking for a game with some T&A that has a decent wrestlign engine this is the game for you. If your looking for a game that will game you panty shots and butt shots close up get this game now!!!

far from been next gen game

Yeah, yeah, I've read the critic's reviews that this game is nothing but T&A and only for losers with no girlfriend and the gameplay stinks and all that. All I can say is this: don't believe the hype. While there is definitely a "sex sells" kind of attitude about Rumble Roses, it is done in an over-the-top, very tongue-in-cheek fashion that is more likely to make you laugh than arouse you. That aside, the fun is in the game itself. Wrestling game fans should be more than satisfied with the gameplay; it features dozens of diverse and creative moves for each of the great characters, all of whom have 4 different incarnations (face, heel, and a superstar version of each) with different styles as well as 3 finishing moves each. The entrances range form super-badass to ridiculous to hilarious and feature some unique...ummm.. visuals to say the least. The action is fast for a wrestling game, arcade friendly, and provides lots of challenges in the way of unlockables you can get by beating a character's specific rivals repeatedly or by performing various other challenges. The best mode is tag-team which features a lot in the way of teamwork between tag-partners. Team with your character's buddy and your teamwork will rock your opponent's worlds. Screw up and attack your friend too often or choose a bad teammate and you will find yourself with a partner who won't tag with you or participate in doubleteam attacks. The voice acting is great and conveys trash-talking, self-motivation, teammate encouragement, or the decline of your friendship with said teammate during the matches. Then there's the "queen's match" in which the loser has to perform a humiliating task in an outfit of your choosing. There are tons of things: cleaning the pool, sexy poses, jumping rope, getting squirted with a watergun, bouncing on a pogo stick, limbo, dances, the list goes on and on. After victory, you get to watch you opponent's embarrassment as they perform the task and you can zoom in and around the shot in any angle you like in a manner similiar to the Dead or Alive games. Lastly, there's the "street fight" mode which borrows heavily again from DOA but drops the actual fun. All of this is great fun, but the game could have been much, much better. First off, the countering system is a little janky, it can't seem to decide whether to be easy or hard so it pretty much seems to only work when it feels like it. Skill doesn't appear to play much of a role. While there are lots of outfits to unlock, most of the best outfits are what you already start out with and it takes HOURS of matches against the same opponents to unlock costumes that usually aren't worth unlocking. The biggest problem, though, is that there is no real story mode. You just choose the venue and fight whoever's there and that's about it. The only incentive is the redundancy of unlocking the same old stuff for every girl over and over by fighting the same people over and over. You can create dozens of custom fighters, but you can't enter them into the pool of opponents (which gets quite shallow pretty fast). You can also customize each character in many ways, but those sessions usually end up with just an increase in bust size. Sorry, I'm a guy. It's also extremely disappointing that you can't pick songs from your hard drive as each girls theme music and there's no customizing the entrances either. Too bad. Like I said, this game is loads of fun and will provide hours of entertainment, but what could have been a truly incredible all-girl wrestling experience is held back by a failure to add any depth to the game itself. If you love wrestling games and gratuitous silly sexuality then this is a no-brainer to buy. Just don't expect the same depth other, license-based wrestling games have offered in the past.

Rumble Roses XX can put you in a sleeper hold

Ok, I'm not some horny 16 year old who just bought this game to see half-naked women. I am the gamer who plays games for fun and entertainment. When I first heard in 2004 that Konami was going to produce a wrestling game, I said "Sure, why not? They make action games, survival horror and dance games, why not try wrestling?" So I immediatly picked up Rumble Roses when it was first released.

When I first heard that sleeper hit Rumble Roses was going to be released and remade, I knew that I had to purchase it. I really loved the game that was released for the PS2. It was a tease and it played well. It was not like other games that degraded women. Ok, I take that back because of the really skimpy swimsuits and the mud matches.

I purchased this game despite the mixed reviews. I went on this site everyday looking for new reviews but the only things I could find were the 16's who loved the bouncy breasts. It's a shame that's all I could find. A few people actually posted some honest reviews. Well, I would like to join the few who are the average gamers.

Rumble Roses is a wrestling game. I won't take that away from it. The wrestling part plays out pretty well seeing as it was made with/by Yukes. I like the work Yukes has done in the past. Most of the girl's moves have either been improved or changed for the better. I can live with that. The wrestling system works well as I would have expected. If you liked the Smackdown series, you will like the wrestling.

Some other things were changed. Gone are story mode and mud-match wrestling. I can live with out the mud, but I wish story mode was left and fixed so it made sense. Now without story mode, the game is just so long and boring having to fight every single woman just to get a title shot. In the story mode, every woman's story was explained as to why she was wrestling. Now, every woman fights for the hell of it, I guess. Another addition that I like street fights. You fight your opponent in an outside cage with no submission or pins, the point is to knock out the power out of each other. Street fights remind of games like Street Fighter or Tekken.

Added was create a character/wrestler. I was really excited that I was finally able to include a wrestler into one of my favourite present wrestling games. I figured that since Yukes was behind this game, they would have a kick-ass create a wrestler as with the Smackdown series. Well, not exactly kick-ass but decent. The create a wrestler is really lacking. You can have up to 30 created wrestlers which is cool but they are all the same woman Lambada. You can't change her face or entrance. That really sucks. You can't edit her moves either. Every "Lambada" has the same entrance and since there is only three voices, eventually they will all have the same voices. Another thing that bugs me is that your character can only be as tall as 5'9 and as short as 5'5. She lowest she can weight is 115 and the most 151. So much for making a realistic woman. I love looking at anorexic models.

There really isn't a "main" mode to speak of, so you have to fight in matches to earn money and unlock costumes. While this probably seemed like a good idea while the game was in production, it is extremely repetitive trying to earn all the costumes. There is only like 40 costumes for you to unlock. Every girl has the exact same costumes to unlock, so it really isn't any fun trying to unlock the same exact costume over and over. The methods for unlocking items aren't really that exciting either. It takes forever trying to save enough for all the costumes. The outfits in the game are just your skimpy thong swimsuits and your average Japanese sterotypical clothes like maids and school girls. What a suprise. I wish they would of had more of a selection than that. Once again, I figured since Yukes was assisting they would have included some of their previous create a wrestler material. Wrong. What you see is what you get.

My overall view of this game is rent before you buy. You might like wrestling and women but this game does have a few flaws as I hope I mentioned. I just wish that games would stop degrading women as just sex objects. You never see men like this, so why should women have to suffer this treatment. Out of a possible 5, I rate this game a 2.5. I could have been better. The reason for the score, is because I was already of the first Rumble Roses and I love wrestling. It loses points on the lacking of reason for fighting and create a wrestler.

A Little More Addition with a Lot More Disappointment!!

Here's my advice: Before you buy a game please check out reviews ANYWHERE before getting it. I made that mistake when I got this game. Overall, when I had gotten Rumble Roses XX it seemed like it was going to be something promising with its new modes but quite honestly where they opened the doors to new features, they've done a pretty lazy job on it.

The first thing you will definitely want to try out is the Create-A-Wrestler mode where you can make your own character from a variety of different options: hair color, make-up, and yes... you can pick between TWO different costumes. After playing professional wrestling games with personas you actually see on television like WWE, there have been moments in those games where it just seemed like they squeezed it out and some things were disappointing. If you put Rumble Roses XX in the pro-wrestling game genre it would make those other lame looking games gold. Yes, the customization is THAT bad. When morphing your wrestler's form, you can only change three things: B-W-H. You cannot change facial structure or even push their height past 5'9" (because women taller than that is absurd!) There may have been only 5-6 different hairstyles all you can change between 3-4 different hair colors on. The costumes you can only change the color on as well.

After just an hour playing this game, I realized one thing: I was gipped. When playing a match, it feels like this is not a pro-wrestling game but just a fighting game guised as one. The controls are less responsive than a comatose person. As part of the game, you can fill up your opponent's "embarrassment" meter when you constantly land attacks on them and you keep countering theirs. The problem: They can do the same back, and they do it a bit TOO well. I've tried countering many times and I got a low percentage of success. If I attack the CPU, then they miraculously counter every move I make. It's just like guessing at a Scantron True / False section while locking horns with someone who has the answers written on their palm.

I would tell you about the other modes this game has which I bet are a blunder. The unlockables are probably not even worth it. You can't beat your opponent unless you survive to the 10 minute time limit.

If you want to give this game a shot, then by all means RENT it. Do not buy it and expect something that'll tear off the roof.

There are two types of men in this world. There are men who like girls with a little class, girls who have a grace and elegance as well as some sense of intelligence. Then there are men who just don't care. These men would prefer their women to get down and dirty and would sacrifice IQ for a bra size in the snap of a finger. In this sense, the former men are playing Tecmo's Dead or Alive 4. The latter are going to want to play Rumble Roses XX instead.

I must say that I've never laid hands on openly sexual or perverted games like Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude, Playboy Mansion, or even the original Rumble Roses on the PlayStation 2. Rumble Roses XX didn't break the sexual game ice for me-it shattered it. It is a game of fetishes, a place where the sexually intrigued (or frustrated) can enjoy watching cowgirls, S&M slaves, and school girls bitch-slap each other into submission.

This disturbing and extremely shallow premise doesn't make for much of a story, and it seems to me that both Yuke's and Konami preferred to focus on watching rather than playing, because Rumble Roses XX is a disaster. None of the dozen-plus "Roses" control well, and while wrestling games are almost always slightly sluggish, Rumble Roses XX is painful by direct comparison. Yuke's, prior to creating this total lack of class, made a wrestling game that even I enjoyed-WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2006-and it was extremely entertaining. The controls were much better and the reversal system that worked so well in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2006 is shot dead and butchered by Rumble Roses XX. On top of it all, each Rose has only a handful of striking moves and grapples, few of which are very interesting or flashy.

It's surprising to me, even after playing Rumble Roses XX and swearing at the television, that a game featuring sweaty men in tights is much better than a game featuring more panty shots than a year's subscription to Maxim.

Rumble Roses XX only features a few different game modes, and nothing pounds the trashy button like the Humiliation mode. In this mode, the loser of each match is forced to suffer through some sort of embarrassing event. The events range from tickle sessions to embarrassing poses. Whichever one is preferred can be chosen at the beginning of each match, and only an embarrassment meter and time limit stand between the player and a ridiculous display of virtual, pixilated, girl-on-girl play. Of course, there are traditional modes like Tag Team and Battle Royale for the few who will play this game for the actual wrestling.

What might be the only real "good" quality about Rumble Roses XX are the character models. Though they're pretty similar in battle, the characters all display a different sort of fetish and they animate perfectly. From an art sense, they're very interesting and respectably detailed. Most of the characters are proportionally correct, and traditionalists will be happy to know that there are some stars in this game whose bra size stays in the lower twelfth of the alphabet. It's too bad that the girls are displayed in such a trashy fashion, because a few of the characters (namely the cover girl, Reiko) are less trashy than eyebrow-raisers like Candy Cane and Miss Spencer. Also, anything else that could be considered a visual oddity is low-quality: the backgrounds and crowds surrounding the fights are boring and sometimes ugly, the menus are confusing and almost randomly organized, and the animation is stiff and jumpy-sometimes you'll see characters initiate grapple moves from several feet away and clotheslines simply don't look right.

I'm pretty disgusted that Rumble Roses XX is such a trashy fighting game, because the Dead or Alive series has already proven that it's possible to be sexy in video games without losing all traces of professionalism and decency. Even more unfortunate is that the game actually plays so badly, especially when Yuke's has had such an extensive a history of high-quality grappling projects. If you're looking for a quality Xbox 360 fighting game, look in Tecmo's direction. I can't say that Rumble Roses XX isn't entertaining-at least it's possible to laugh at the outright indecency of the action-but it's not worth $60 and it's not worth your time.

A GREAT Game! No, a WONDERFULLY GREAT Entertaining Game!!!

Games are for what? Entertainment
What do guys like? guess...
People like games with high resolution and pleasing graphics... (Usually) A game with some challenge along with eye appeal is wonderful (or the challenge of playing due to visual distraction. LOL) This game meets all of that.

There are negatives to games just based on sexy digitally animated women, but it is a change, for some people, from constantly looking at real life nice material all day, 7 days a week.

This game, like any other things in life; when played (or working with) excessively, it will get boring.

Personally, I'm tired of contantly playing checkers/chess/cards and almost winning 95% of the time. For some reason, this game has some unique form of challenge in the sense, I have not gotten too far in the game after nearly a month of owning this. (or it could be because I spend too much time in the locker room. But the swimsuit outfits are many and the player does not have enough money to get them all! LOL)

It really depends on a person's nature and taste, but I say this game is just... GREAT! 3 thumbs up! (other people can focus on the negatives here... I'm just being positive.)

this game blows

Make sure your try this out before you buy it. If I had gotten the demo first I most definitely would not have bought this game. The women are beautiful..no question about that..however everything else about this game is horrible. The gameplay, the animation during game play, some of the background graphics, the music, the voice acting. Damn.

And to think this is from the same company that brought us the metal gear series.
