 Rich animation, arcade gameplay lack of charactersOct 11, 2001
By Jeff Johnson
"Jeff Johnson"
The final wrestling game to grace the SNES took a whole different path than the previous three available. This offers arcade fighting action in and out of the ring. Arcade meaning that you press forward, forward punch to perform a move. There are only six true to life superstars, Bret Hart, the Undertaker, HBK, Razor Ramon, Doink the Clown, and Lex Luger, so you may get bored with frequent matches. There are some incredible animations though, but it does get goofy though, with hit combinations, Lex Lugers arm turning into a mace and other such odd things. There is a Road to Wrestlemania mode for single players, which pits you in singles, two on one and three on one handicap matches. It can get frustrating and tedious to go through those matches. The two player mode only has a huge battle royal mode in which a tag team together tries to defeat 12 wrestlers which come in one after another.

Love hurts in the World Wrestling FederationFeb 13, 2006

The bad news is that Bam Bam Bigalow and Yokozuna have been removed from the actual arcade version, leaving the number of wrestlers the same as the first Wrestlemania video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Bam Bam would have been the only character in both games. Other than that and the fact that everyone's favorite sexually ambiguous pro-wrestler, Luna Vachon (What? You thought I was gonna say Chyna?), is not included in any version of this game, everything's cool. Well, I'd rather the blood was red instead of blue, but otherwise it's cool. The good news is that you get corny yet pillow-muffled commentary from Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler and action that is faster paced than WWF Raw (not the X-Box version). Each wrestler has his own set of gag moves; Razor Ramon attacks with hands that turn into blades, Doink beats clowny stuff out of his opponents, and Bret Hart... okay, so not everyone has gag moves. The Undertaker and Shawn Michals have nothing special, but Lex Luger attacks with metal arms. I don't know if this happened before or after Mortal Kombat 3, but this does resemble Jax and the two of them both have rude pompous all-American attitudes. Anyway, that's my review and I'm not sticking to it.
As for the phrase in my review title, yes, it was taken from the commercial, and no, I don't know the rest of the words or where to find the commercial.
good gameAug 03, 2004
very easy and i don't think one-on-three is really necessary but it's "arcade" right?

The most "upbeat" wrestling game I've played!Dec 13, 2001
By Madhura de Silva
Isn't it just like Acclaim to incorporate real life humans to portray characters in their games? This trend started in Mortal Kombat and they've outdone themselves with this game by using the actual wrestlers themselves. Mind the term "wrestlers" though, because this game is almost fifty-fifty in wrestling and street brawling! You get to choose from six WWF wrestlers: Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Doink "The Clown," Lex Luger, and Razor Ramon (aka Scott Hall). This is a bit unfortunate because the Genesis version had them plus Yokozuna and Bam Bam Bigelow. This may cause the game to be a tad repetitive. But once the match starts it's an all-out brawl and the victor will most often be the fastest-thinking, shrewd and button-mashing wrestler rather than people taking a strategic approach. They may find themselves knocked out and pinned in ten seconds!The graphics and animation are realistic. The music is fair. (I can't say "good" because it doesn't have the wrestlers' theme songs, can I?) The sound effects are nice and the commentators (Vince McMahon and "The King" Jerry Lawler) are great! Memorable comments include McMahon shouting "Boomshakalaka!", "Shocking!" and occasionally, "Somebody call security!". The game also has "special moves" like Doink's "electric hand" and Bret Hart's rolling uppercut. The gameplay is fast and furious. Controls are dead-on. And get this: it has Mortal Kombat-style blocking too! So, this game might not be the best wrestling game out there. It could use more wrestlers and a few more options. But compared to its predecessors Royal Rumble and WWF Raw, it is quite a bit more addictive. Besides it's good to have some spontaneous wrestling for a change, without memorising the moves. Most any wrestling (especially WWF) fan will derive some serious amusement out of this one.
