| Wrestle Mania X-8 Platform: Gamecube Rated: T "Teen" |
| If you been on the planet Mars for the past few months with your eyes shut and your fingers in your ears, you probably missed one of the best Wrestle Mania yet. The Rock proving he is one of the best icons ever (But Hulk Hogan still rules), great musical performaces, HHH the undisputed champion, and the other great matches were awsome. Now on Gamecube you can re-create those classic matches. But you can do more than re-create matches, there are many different types of matches i.e. TLC, Table, Ladder, Hardcore, Hell in a Cell, and others. There are over 30 WWE superstars like Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Booker T, HHH, and the Undertaker. If you can't decide what superstar you like, make your own, you can change the size, attire, moves, and others. There are 2 ways you can become a champion, go for a WWE title or grab a custom belt that you can grab from a friend. The battle for the belts mode is one of the most interactive mode in this game, you win the belt and you can challenge a friend for it, think of it as playing a trading card game for a card. The second way to win a belt is called path of a champion which is simply just climbing the ladder or fighting people one by one, and besides just winning the belt for your character, you get a secret character and more options for the create a superstar mode. The sound is awsome but some of the entrance themes are not the same but the sound is still okay. The graphics are okay, but the charaters are not fully realistic, but the Gamecube really bring out the cut-scenes and the Titan-tron movies. The controls are very simple and now doing the specials is a lot easier. The game play is very simple, you can do specials whenever you wish if you have a special, the entrances are cool, and the game is very creative. You should buy this game and I can't wait till Wrestle Mania 19. "IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING!" The Score: Sound 3.5 Graphics 3.5 Controls: 4 Gameplay: 4 |
