Oh Yeah the Macho....Wait No Macho Man!



Have you ever wanted to face The Ultimate Warrior with The Rock??? Well you can now in Legends of Wrestlemania and thats mostly all you can do. The features a pretty big roster of legends like Bret Hart, Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and others. But they miss many other legends that have been in the previous games like Legends of Wrestling. No One Man Gang, not any Van Erichs or even the Macho Man Randy Savage himself who was a huge part of Wrestlemania's over the years and years. No offense to some legends but some shouldn't even be there. No names mentioned but they are missing Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat who was recently in the last Wrestlemania. I know you can't put everyone in.


Second they had three game modes. The Re-Live, Re-Define, and Re-Write. Where you play the same matches in the Re-Live where you do the match and see a little video of what happened and then you play as the winner of the match and have to win to move on. Yeah the movies were cool but the rest of it sucked. The Re-Define was when they changed the match from a regular match to a steel cage or ladder. Yeah thats cool but I can do that in the game whenever I want. Last was the Re-Write and thats when you changed the outcome of the match. Thats was not so bad because the ending cut scene would be changed and it was actually fun.

The last mode was the Legends of Wrestlemania mode where you just face off legends and legends. The same thing over and over again. What this games is just matches and matches that leads you to little satisfaction. But the game features pretty cool cut scenes, a different kind of wrestling configuration and of course a bunch of legends to use in matches. So for my final rating from the Xtreme Gaming Zone is 2.75X Points out of 5X points.
