| The Greatest Video Games - Revisited [WWF Royal Rumble] | |
| | Ugh. Yokozuna, Tatanka, Crush and Lex Luger. Man were they stupid. |
RoYaL RuMbLe!!! ![]() WWF Royal Rumble was a high quality wrestling game when it first came out, for both the SNES and the Sega. In my opinion, the SNES version is better because it features more entertaining wrestlers. While the Sega version does have Hulk Hogan, it also has I.R.S., Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Papa Shango, and other wrestlers I don't care about. Unfortunately, SNES also has a host of scabs I would rather forget, but I really like Bret Hart, Mr. Perfect, and Ted DiBiase.
The best feature of the game is the 'Royal Rumble' mode, where all the wrestlers duke it out and try to win the match by throwing other wrestlers out of the ring and being the last one inside the ropes. The Royal Rumble feature would most often include 6 wrestlers in the ring at the same time, and yet the gameplay did not seem to suffer at all.
Other cool features in this game included the wrestlers special moves. There was a drawback to this though, as no special move could include a pin, and there was no submissions so a submission move was basically worthless.
Another cool aspect is that this was one of the first games to include a steel chair, and have it be easily usable. The best part of this game takes place inside the ring though, when the referee gets bumped and goes down. Quite innovative for back in the day. |
