This is a good wrestling game, it's worth buying just so you can wrestle someone else in vs. mode. For this price - get it!

Could have been better

Now I dont hate this game, but I dont like it either. The game consists of several players that you can choose in multiplayer mode or in the one player mode. The levels themselves are surprisingly small, and even though there are an abundance of weapons, once you use them, they disappear!

That is not how I would have liked to play it. If you hit someone over the head with a chair, would you have liked it to disappear? Some of the levels are also really dark and you either have to squint to see your opponent, or skip it entirely.

The music for the game is the only great thing about it. You have a huge list of bands that can play songs and listen to them while you play the game. The characters are good, yet some can get really annoying with all their taunts.

Another problem would have to be that the moves these guys use looks like they are part superhero or something. Now I dont know if any of you like the fact that these guys can jump 50 feet in the air and throw their opponents on mattresses of fire while they come down, but it just doesn't look real to me. Call me crazy but it just doesn't.

This is a great game to RENT, not to own. There are some laughs in here, and some moves do look cool, but unfortunately not everything is great, and some things should definately change:

For example, if you knock out your opponent and want to finish them off by laying them on a table and climbing to the roof of a house and jumping off right onto them, you have to do it as quickly as possible. I say that because the opponents wake up literally less than 10 seconds after you knock them out, making it seem less fun as it could have been.

There is one level at a gas station in the desert where if you slam an opponent against a gas pump the whole thing will explode and will go flying in the air. Another level is in a backyard where the matress of fire is, and even though it looks cool, again your opponent will just stand up again and run away before you have a chance to light it.

The worst level would have to be where you fight in the club. There is literally nothing to pick up and use as a weapon, plus it's really hard to see any weapons at all.....

If you really want this game then you should buy it, but for those of you who want something a little more like WWE style wreslting, only rent this.

alright game

NO.....SERIOUSLY DON'Y TRY THIS AT HOME.....Somehow I got stuck reading almost all of these reviews... and I can't believe that their are actually people out there that say this game is great, or even good for that matter. I rented it last week, and returned it 3 days early! I'm sorry you guys... this may be thee most boring game I have ever played for the PS2 console. The game consists of the charactors constantly "running around"... it seems more of a game of tag than anything else. And when you finally engage in actual fighting, you can punch, kick, and when your opponent is down you can body slam him..........Thats it. End of story. I would advise everyone to rent it, and get that backyard wrestling rush out of your system (and it will happen quick), and save your $50.

GREAT GAME! LOTS OF LAUGHS

At first when I looked at this game and read the reviews it looked really bad. I thought, im not even going to rent this game and i didnt. But when my friend did i went over to his house and we played it. It was one of the best games i have ever played. It was halarious and great fun. The create a player isnt that great but it doesnt pull the game down. There are so many things you can do. You can go from throwing things and hitting people with car doors or getting burnt or set on fire by a welder. You can jump off water towers and throw people into fish tanks and then for fun throw the fish at them. In each level their are tons of weapons and can be used in different ways. The blood in this game is really fake but looks good.

Okay, first off, your opinion of this game is very much affected by your siding of the great battle between Insane Clown Posse(oohyeah) and Eminem(pshh), because Phsycopathic Records is the unofficial representatives of the game. E.G. Playing as Violent J, Shaggy 2 dope, Monoxide, Sabu, etc. In other words if you like ICP, you'll like this game. If you like Eminem(hiss) you'll probably be too blind sided by the fact that ICP is in the game, and thus put forth prejudices against a pretty good game.

This game is really fun. The levels are small, but very adequate in the fact that almost anything can be damaged, or used as a weapon. Like, ripping picture frames off the wall and beating someone with it. Also the way the health bar is alot like fighting games, rather that wrestling games wear your health bar refills slowly. The graphics are good and the soundtrack is better than sex, but, yes the but. In short, the game is short. I tear through games quickly, but never the first time playing it, beating it in less than half a day. I beat talkshow mode in about 5 1/2 hours, that means most of the extra objectives of each level. Even the matches in their own are short, maybe if they had a third health bar, usually a match is over within 1 1/2 minutes.(the human body can withstand more than that) The other bad thing, create a character, they have premade costumes to choose from rather than articles of clothing. The games main failing point.

All in all, the game is well-worth the buy, but if you one of those people who like to try things out, rent it, but only play for like an hour or all the bonuses and things are found. The two player match up is really the most enduring part of the game. Theres nothing more fun then two maybe 115lb chicks in there underwear throwing 30lb stuffed chairs across the room at each other.

When I first saw the ads for this game, I thought wow! That game is awesome, but it is far from awesome, very far...So anyway, When you put the game in your PS2 it starts this annoying hick music, ugh, then, there's the mode of plays, there are 3 out of the 5 things on that start up menu you can play, Talk show mode, is well, Crap! It's very cheesy and no where near real! and if you lose one match, you have to do all 3 or 4 of them over again, causing for a very frustrating game, more so then stuntman for PS2, You find yourself yelling at the screen at how it's to difficult to beat the levels, and the levels, there are about 6 to play, and all get very very boring after 2 plays, and the wrestlers, all very stupid looking, and the girls are in THE most skimpy outfist you will ever see, including thongs and G-strings for "pants" or "shorts" The videos you unlock are more fun to watch then to play the game! all in all this game is a rentel, but please don't waste $50 on this game, the game is rated M for a reason...to warn you not to play this game becuase of the severe stupid factor..Save your cash, go get Tony Hawks Underground, I recommend that game to the fullest

backyard boring fun

In one word i will say what this game is all about "stupid", the charactors act stupid the girls are stupid the video clips are stupid this game reeks of stupid! Its ultra hard and no wrestling is ever involved its just fight club with macho teenagers. The reason people buy WWE is we get what we want mostly which is wrestling, not some dope saying he is a viagara expirement gone wrong.
puching and throwing bricks is not wrestling its boring hardcore baby stuff, sissies fight hardcore because they cant wrestle!

the backyard wrestling movies are better than the game

this game is not all that good. when you see it in the video store it does look good. But looks can be decieving. I rented the game and never beat one person. And also, backyard wrestling is just like mortal kombat or primal rage or something. The backyard wresling movies are better than the game. The reason why I put 1 star for this is not because it's gory or violent or anything, but because it's BOR-RING!!!
