Without the flesh this game would be selling zero copies

I recently played Rumble Roses with much anticipation. It didn't take longer than a couple of minutes before I realized this game for the stinker it is. Without the jiggling body parts and the vulgar camera angles, this game would be absolutely worthless. As it is, it's sexuallity is 90% of its selling point. The gameplay itself is dull beyond words and the controls are exceedingly clunky and lame. I suspect that this game will keep selling mostly to teenage males and grown men who still can only dream of the opposite gender, but beyond that it's bound to fall short of expectations. Shame on you Konami. What ever happened to quality control? If you don't believe how bad this game is then go ahead and buy it. Maybe it will entertain you for a day or two until -- bored off your rocker with the gameplay -- you get sick of oogling at the flesh of computer animated girls and realize you could get a heck of a lot more out of an adult movie featuring the real thing.

I played this game before and this is like a joke. I don't no what was so great about this game but their's only three stage's some decent character's and i gotten to a point that their's nothing really good about this game. When i was playing storymode it was okay but the gameplay is to easy, their's only like 2speacial attack's and the rest is like any other wresling game. This game was not good just a girl's only fighting game.

A Disappointment

I bought this game when it was first released, and I really felt like I was wasting my money.

First of all, the voice acting is so horribly corny that I couldn't play through the game without cringing. The game tries very hard to be sexy, with the girls in skimpy outfits and the "humiliation" moves, but it's just so hackneyed that it's not. The animation during cutscenes is decent, but during play, it's a little substandard. The matches weren't very challenging, so the gameplay became boring quite quickly.

This game might be fun to play once in a while, but it definitely wasn't worth buying new.

A WEEKEND RENTAL IS MORE THAN ENOUGH

I only hope this review is written quickly enough so people do not waste money on this game.

I'm a hardcore fan of wrestling games, but I cannot recommend Rumble Roses for any reason at all. I'll describe every aspect of the game so that after reading this review, you will know exactly what the game is like--guaranteed.

This wrestling game is co-developed by the same guys who made the WWE Smackdown! series. Rumble roses does have some decent gameplay, but it is extremely limited and you can easily plow through the majority of the game in a weekend's rental.

The gameplay is like that of the Smackdown series--only much less wrestling moves to do. Each female wrestler in this game has like 25 moves MAX, compared to at least 70 moves per character in the Smackdown series. And of those 25 moves per character, about 6 of them are shared by at least 2 other girl wrestlers, making each character similar to one another. Again, of those 25 moves, 6 are ground attacks. Get the message now? There's simply not enough moves to make a girl stand out from the crowd. Pick one character, and they're pretty much all alike.

There are only 2 game modes and 4 wrestling arenas. The 2 game modes are: 1-on-1 and Mud Match. The mud match plays exactly like the 1 on 1 match, except there is no wrestling ring. You'd think that fighting in the mud makes your character move more slowly, right? Wrong. The mud in this game doesn't affect your character one bit. The mud can only go on your girl's skin for 9 seconds after completely rubbing off. The mud match was obviously tossed in the game to attract buyers. Let me explain: When you slam your opponent, her face is completely submeged in the mud. How does she breathe? Same goes with pinning your opponent--her face is completely submerged. It's as if the developers forgot all about the mud and its physics.

There's 4 wrestling arenas: 3 for 1 on 1 match, 1 for mud. Also, those 3 arenas look very identical, making each arena pretty much the same. There's only 1 mud arena.

Now, onto the girls. About them, they're not as sexy as you think--you can make WAYYYY sexier characters in the far superior Smakdown games. Serously! The girls here do not look too sexy and unfortunately, sexy girls was supposed to be part of this game. Each girl has her own entrance music, which is decent.

Next is the game's story mode. It's like you're playing a book--you win the match to move on. If you lose, you get unlimited continues to fight again. Losing doesn't affect the story at all, so don't worry. No branching story lines at all. It's all set, which is horrible.

I cannot recommend this game for its $40 MSRP. Lower it down to 15 bucks, and I'll think about it. Unfortunately, I paid 35 bucks for mine, which I regret. If you have 50 dollars, buy the very much superior WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw game. Rumble Roses has around 15% of what WWE SD V R has to offer. So why is it 40 dollars? Should be 15! Smackdown has online play, Rumble roses does not.

Pros:
1) Nice graphics
2) Good control
3) Great intro movie
4) Decent voice acting

Cons:
1) ONLY 1 on 1 fighting--no more than 2 people in the match
2) Almost NONE mud physics
3) Laughable story line
4) Very simplistic gameplay
5) Almost NO SECRETS worth unlocking
6) Story mode is extremely short--finish a story in 45 mins.
7) OVERPRICED at $40 MSRP
8) No tables, chairs, ladders, etc.
9) Not online
10) Girls not sexy enough (You can make much sexier girls in Smackdown's create mode)
11) Many moves shared by a lot of wrestlers
12) Most moves' animations are recycled from the Smackdown! series
13) Cannot configure controls
14) Cannot configure match options (we cannot turn off submissions, pins, etc.)
15) Huge collision dection problems (you know something's wrong when you grapple your opponent, and your hands go right through them, and you miss your grapple entirely)

There's at least 10 more problems with this game (not a joke). Forget about listing them all--you get the idea.

Final verdict:

You can see EVERYTHING the game has to offer in a 5-day rental (or even less for fast players). I guaranteed that to you.

The Truth about Rumble Roses...

Well lets see here... I waited long enough to write a review about Rumble Roses so... I guess here goes. Let me first say that I picked this game up for the same reason I'm sure every guy picked this game up... and we all know what that was.

I know that the XBox 360 version of this game, Rumble Roses XX, is better than the PSX2 version... simply a more up-to-date game and system. However if you wanna talk about sound and graphics for a game on PSX2, than this game is for you. I liked the all original music made for this game and felt it fit in very well.

Of course this game is nothing more than mindless T'n A and thats it period... no one truly baught it for the moves... the grappling system... or whatever. Not to trash it, alot of the moves play out and look like they just came out of a SvR game. Fetishes galore is correct as this game is all about hot'n sexy females wrestling in a very oriental manner.

I'd say if your into this kind of thing, get it, if not, pass it up. Let me also remind you that any real self respecting female is going to find this game offensive... my girlfriend was not to fond of the game when I played, thus I play it when she is not around or when Im with friends... all about respect... and the fact that I don't want to sleep on the couch.

I gave it a 4 for fun because it really is a perverted-bash! The 3 is because I felt they could have placed more features and what-not in the game. As I understand they did with the XBox 360 version, anyways if you have an XBox, I'd recommend getting it for that.

A Guilty Pleasure

I don't play wrestling games much, but I played this because of the concept and the price. (I got it new for $5.00.) Female wrestlers who are half naked? It almost can't go wrong.

The game itself is nice to look at, and the controls are easy to master. The instruction booklet could have used more work, though, and the game is a little too easy at times. The mud matches are nothing to get excited about, either, and the music was bad. The characters' backstories? Not worth the napkin they were written on. It was fun, however, tossing people around and doing humilation moves. Putting an opponent in a compromising position is always fun, with the added bonus that both are ladies.

If you can get this game at a deep discount and are mildly interested, it is worth it. I would never pay full price, though.

Fun moves and hot CGI chicks!

Just stupid fun when you get right down to it. I love the intros and the stories. The Music is surprisingly good. The vow system can be a bit complicated, but I have not used it much being that I prefer the story mode unless playing against someone. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star game for me is the lack of a training or practice mode to better get to know the character's moves (i.e. Tekken). Other than that, it's just fun.

pretty good

this game is overall good. it has good graphics, sound and plays good. the voice overs could use a little work. you can do humilliation moves, leathal moves and killer moves. i don't normally get wrestling games since normally it's just a minor improvement form the last WWE title but if u want a different change of pace, get this one.

Every rose has thorns.

I've become increasingly dissapointed with the WWE wrestling games, while the quality of their games is great the way they treat their female characters is shameful. So now i've found a wonderful alternative, the gameplay is strong, the girls are gorgeous and it is fun to play.PROS.1. The ablity to gradually switch your character from good to bad and viceversa creating different personas.2. great graphics3. great gameplay Cons.1.The story mode is a lot of fun but after each match there should be a save point, for those of us who dont have the time to sit for an hour, I dont want to HAVE to skip the story because im pressed for time.2. No tag team action?? get out!3. To execute a reversal depends more on luck than skill.Overall RR is an excelent alternative to testorone fueled wrestling games, plenty of eye candy and fun to play.

Good ol' Shakespeare said it best: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Such is the case with Rumble Roses, the latest game to meet our hedonistic desire for scantily clad buxom women fighting it out in the ring. The title for a game like this could be Aunt Jemima's Pancake Makin' Party and it would still draw crowds. But besides the requisite tight or nonexistent clothing, and well-proportioned models, does the game deliver the goods? The answer really depends on what you're looking for from the game. Engaging story? No way. Exciting gameplay? Not quite. Easy to play? To a degree. Plenty of opportunities to stare at half-naked women? Absolutely. It's clear the objective was an easy-to-approach fighting game that rewarded players with well-angled shots of these women's finer attributes, and to Konami's credit, it did exactly that. The graphics, one of the game's strong points, are well done.
All of the characters--some 24 if you count the starting cast's alter egos--are well designed and have unique looks. But besides the good looking character models, the fighting stages are relatively uninspiring, with sparse variety, varying from a handful of rings that look strikingly similar and a single beachside mud-wrestling pit. The controls, like the graphics, are also a mixed bag. On the one hand, they're pretty easy to pick up in the course of a single sitting--single buttons correspond to single actions (attack, block, grapple, pin, etc.) while the analog stick or directional pad dictates the kind of attack or grapple. Unfortunately, while the controls are simple enough for even the most casual gamer, the limited number of moves provided creates for some repetitive gameplay. Still, the signature killer and humiliation moves, coupled with the laughable dialogue and voiceovers, do provide some entertainment. So while Konami succeeded at building a simple but graphically enticing fighter, it failed to create anything but an average game with a penchant for g-strings and larger than usual cup-sizes.
