panix04 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 With a discussion going on in the dog pound im curious to see what people rate as the ultimate wrestling game. For me its a toss up between SDvsRaw for multitap fun, i have spent a lot of nights fighting for the 'tea towel championship' one player i would have to plump for wrespi2, i am addicted to that game at the moment and try to play atleast 4 matches a day!

Undertaker666 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Get yourself down to your nearest Gamestation store, they're bound to have an N64 in there for about £20! Failing that, eBay. Alternatively you can have mine for £200 with a bunch of games, No Mercy included. Too expensive? You betcha, my N64 is going nowhere! :D Never played the Fire Pro series of games but it's probably one of the few wrestling games I haven't played over the years. I was even playing wrestling games way back when on my Commodore 64: Championship Wrestling (1986?), Tag-Team Wrestling (1987?), Intergalactic Cage Match (1988?), WWF WrestleMania (1990?).

The Gaz Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The wrestling game I played most was WWE Raw 2 on Xbox which was perfect except for the sub-par gameplay and AI. It had one of the best rosters ever in a wrestling game, best create entrance mode plus custom soundtracks. No wrestling game has had custom soundtracks since that game and WWE SvsR 07 wont have them either but ultimatly I believe the smackdown series are the best wrestling games ever, my favourite probably being HCTP. Graphics mean alot to me and these days No Mercy just doesnt cut it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panix04 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 out of all the Smackdown series i think HCTP was the best, the season mode just seemd to last forever, it was very in-depth and you had lots of choice's, dont get me wrong the voice overs and cut scene's from '06 are cool, but i would take gameplay over sound and graphics every time.

The Smackdown games are very much style over substance and they've never been very tactical. You could probably win a match in 3 minutes by doing mostly clotheslines/dropkicks. I'm very much looking forward to Wrestle Kingdom for the Xbox 360, seems to be No Mercy for the next generation consoles but with Japanese wrestlers. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Ryland Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 If you're looking for an arcade-style wrestling game with strategy, try getting Giant Gram 2K for the DreamCast. It's from All Japan, and has guys like Misawa, Vader, Kobashi, etc. If it wasn't for its two big drawbacks (gameplay gets repetitive pretty quickly and its all in Japanese - and I guess a third would be that it's only on the DreamCast!) it'd be the best wrestling game of its type, bar none. Great graphics, great game play, lots of small realistic touches, lovely smooth controls...well worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Ryland Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I should point out that, like Wrestle Kingdom, Giant Gram is Japan-only, so you'd need to find somewhere that sells imports (and have the ability to play them on your console).
