"Acclaim has finally started thinking!!!!!"

Legends Of Wrestling

Hi,I am reviewing LOW for the PS2. This game has many legends,(Not all of them but most)and has got great potential,and IS one of the contenders for the the BEST wrestling game ever. Now let's get onto the review.

Gameplay.8/10
The main reason it got this score(And it is the main downfall)is because it is pretty slow. When they give you the time to reverse the move,it just seems to long. But it was very smart. Most games just care about hitting each other to death until they get a finishing move and that's it. And the way they do the moves look great. Not to bad here.

Control 9/10
Very good control. It is pretty easy to do all the moves. The gameplay makes the movement slower though. Also when put on a submission and have to mash buttons,it was made this game more exciting than games like Smackdown!3 where they put on a sharpshooter and they get up like it didn't even hurt. Because in real life,they have to use some energy to keep the move on,so here you have to mash buttons and keep the submission on. Liked the control.

Graphics 7.5
The graphics seemed liked they could have been more realistic. They actually do look like action figures. The skin looks like action figure skin. But besides that,they are very smooth and highly detailed. And the fans looked horrible. They all looked the same and not much variety. That was the main downfall here. Otherwise,great job.

Sound 9/10
The ring announcers voice sounds pretty right. Not exactly right,but kind of right. The music was great. The fans chanting sounded good to. Nothing else to say.

Overall 8
If you are an old school fan BUY it. Otherwise,rent it. I recommend buying it unless you want to bash it about the controls. Thanks for reading!!! Thanks for reading!!! Hope you agreed with me all the way and thanks for atleast checking it out. Thanks!! Thanks everybody!! Thank you gamefaqs for giving me the privalge to write this review on your site!! And hope you like the game like I did if you bought it!!! Thank you very much!!!
