Sweet.

Looks class, the roster that I can remember (from back of game) is:

Hogan
Andre
Austin
Rock
Mr Perfect
Snuka
LOD
Jake Roberts
Big Boss Man
Million Dollar Man

And managers inc Heenan and Hart.

But, in the meantine, back to WWF Warzone for me!

they have the future wrestlers in to

How the hell is Henry supposed to climb a ladder?

Shawn Michaels, Bulldog and Bret Hart are on it, too.
Looks a bit like the old Legends of Wrestling series from the graphic shots I've seen of it, which weren't the best to play, which was a shame, as I liked the in-game features in those.

1 rung at a time.

I think to do that though I read you have to have SM v Raw 09 and some software to connect them somehow don't you?!

i dont think wwe have done a bad game yet have they

no looked on the back of the cover and it said you can play legends vs current superstars

cant fooking wait

They were all good, for their time.

I just was never a fan of the Acclaim/Midway controls.

if thq did the legends of wrestling games they would be good

i dont think wwe had nothing to do with legends of wrestling did they

Not too much, I don't think. But they did use the likenesses of some of their past and (at the time) current stars, so I'm sure Vince made certain some pennies came his way.
Who's done the LOWM? I've not bothered looking at it too much, don't have a PS3.

THQ

thankfully

the game play for LOW was very poor and they didnt give it any thought

hate the new name change the attitude adjustment



WTF

What was the point in changing the name of the FU but not the five knuckle shuffle

?

i would of called it the third move

Not apart from every SM v Raw game since Here Comes the Pain.





Seriously for some reason I just haven't found the recent ones too enjoyable compared to that one (which I rank as the best of the series without a doubt). The new controls are just awkward/wierd!



On the other hand I loved the Acclaim WWF Warzone/Attitude games and still play them now, the controls were more challenging and needed a bit of thought/timing to get them right.

As far as others go, the WCW games were up-and-down through THQ then EA but had their moments (e.g. was cool being able to change wrestler faction allegience on the '98 ones!

). Backstage Assault however was fookin stupid!



(for those who didn't play it, it was a wrestling game without a wrestling ring!



).

The ECW games were okay, but basically their version of Attitude because they were also made by Acclaim (IIRC the commentators even said the same phrases as the ones on the WWF Attitude game).

Got a great game for PS2 called Fire Pro Wrestling Returns. It's a long-running Japanese series (ended now though I think unfortunately

), bought it from the US about 18 months ago. It's like an old arcade game from the 80's e.g. very, very basic graphics, but emphasis on gameplay. Some great footage of it on that popular video clip website.

Wish they'd just think "to hell" with the Parental Advisory Group (or whatever they're called), and get back to the Attitude days - Swearing, violence and T&A!









O/T Anyone remember HLA?!

HOT LESBIAN ACTION

HLA HLA HLA

Might be wrong, but I swear I heard the "HLA" chant on one of the SmackDown games after that angle!

haha i will have to go on it now to find out

Well the angle (IIRC) started late 2002, so it can't have been that years (Shut Your Mouth) so I reckon either Here Comes The Pain, or the first SM v Raw (the one with Vince on front).

will check that out



HLA is on that famous vidoe website to

Really?! Excellent, will have to have a nosey!

Read somewhere that it was partly designed to take the p**s out of Eric Bischoff (who was involved in the angle), after rumours started about him and his wife having some, er, fun, with a woman they knew!

Maybe I'm just being a perv, but wish they'd done a HLA angle with Victoria and Arial when they were both in it!
