"What a shame."

I have played so many wrestling games, and supported the WWE and other wrestling federations all the way through and through. I played the best, No mercy, and now the worst, Legends of wrestling.

Graphics: 5/10
Honestly I was very much fooled at first. In the entrance video you are shown some of the greatest at such great graphics. And then in the pick a legend screen the picture look so good, you want to cry! Then comes the game, and you want to puke! What is this? Super NES? I guess that is what they thought their graphic limitations were, because that is how it looks. It is very cartoon like, and annoying! Some people like it because it depicts 80's wrestling very well, and granted it was cartoon like, but come on!

Sound: 4/10
Again you are very much fooled in the beginning. The music in the entrance is a really cool 80's song, but then oh god then comes the game. It is so bad, that it becomes unbearable. It becomes very repetitive, and there is no announcing. The entrance themes are pretty good and bearable, and that is the only reason I gave it a 4.

Game play: 0/10
WOW! I never thought it would happen again. History people, learn your history! Guess what, the old Attitude engine is back! Oh God, I'm disgusted just talking about it! First of all it takes you forever to even figure out what in the heck your doing, and secondly it is done so uncoordinated that you have to plan a punch like 5 seconds before you punch. Oh, yes, and a punch is just about all you can do! Everything else is so complicated that you give up in a short time!

Story: 7/10
Ok they did fine here, the Career mode is pretty ok. You get to wrestle the best from the old major wrestling districts in the country. And then in the end you fight the best in the world. And as always in the process you pick up legends and arenas and stuff! But it still gets a 7 because of the 0 in game play and 5 in graphics!

CAL (Create a Legend): 3/10
OK, let me give you the reason it gets a 3. It is very simple and that is because it is very detailed you choose every little thing, and you have a pretty good choice of everything. Now for the awful part, you cant choose your face, you cant choose your head, and finally it is extremely... extremely... extremely.... slow! It takes forever, oh god how long it takes! And like I said, it is very detailed, but they miss the most obvious (Face, head, etc.)!

Replay? 2/10
I don't why you would. Honestly, the game is either too slow in parts, or too fast in others. Plus I just didn't find it that interesting to go back and keep playing!

Buy or Rent: RENT!
Either rent it or just don't even bother! I rented it knowing and hearing so many bad things about it, but I still wanted to support the Wrestling industry. So, if your like me, you will probably pay not attention to all this and still rent it. GO AHEAD! But I warned you!
