| We rented it, figuring it would be pretty awful but maybe good for some laughs. Turns out, it's OKAY and it's good for some laughs. So, uh, yeah. I wouldn't bother unless you're absolutely desperate to jerk it to something unusual. Rent a B-movie instead.
It really isn't as good a wrestling game as either any of the recent Smackdown games or Def Jam:Fight For New York, although it doesn't do anything WRONG either. The actually arcade portion is virtually identical to Smackdown - you can even see many of the moves from the Smackdown games perfectly replicated here - so I imagine Konami got some help from THQ or Yukes when developing RR. The main problem is it's just not as "in depth" in any imaginable way. It's got a limited roster. Limited number of moves per wrestler. With the small roster, you'd imagine each wrestler had their own unique set of moves, but no, many borrow moves from others. Limited number of arenas to fight in. Very limited number of match types (and while the mud wrestling is a funny gimmick for a few minutes, the novelty really wears off quickly). The storylines are spectacularly idiotic, but the dialogue is over-acted just well enough that I imagine the game will become a favorite on Zany Video Game Quotes. It's actually impossible to be embarassed about playing this game (unlike BMX XXX or that DOA volleyball thing) because everyone's either going to be laughing or reeling in stunned amazement at how bad the writing is. My girlfriend thought it was as funny as I did. Great graphics by PS2 standards, but I'm not down with anime chicks as *fap* material. GAAAAAAAAAH!!!!, I hate those creepy eyes. The submission holds are even more ridiculous than the storylines, but that's a definite plus. Really, some are downright hilarious. Too bad that the submission system in this game relies on button-mashing. My advice to those who are bored with porn: get Smackdown:Here Comes The Pain or Smackdown-vs-RAW instead. They're better games on every level aside from absurd submission holds and graphics. Plus, the hottie potential is there thanks to the amazing Create-A-Wrestler features. You can even deform faces to a drastic extent if you need hideously large eyeballs staring at you the whole time. |
