Legends of Wrestling

"Better then I thought it would be but still not that great"

The game Legends of Wrestling is a pretty good game but it's also a pretty bad game. I guess what I am basically trying to say is that this game has its good things and it has its bad things as well. But then again, I feel as if this game, Legends of Wrestling, has a little more bad things then it does good things. Well, let's go over some of the aspects of this game and see if Legends of Wrestling could truly be a good Legends of Wrestling video game.

Game-play 6/10 - Legends of Wrestling's game-play is not that bad. It's pretty easy to do what you want to do, like punch and kick, grapple and run, taunt and block. It's a bit tough, though, to do hard grapples, hard punches and kicks and pretty much everything else that you can do stronger things with. Running is a real pain in the neck, though, as it is rather difficult to run and when you do actually run you might be disappointed just by the fact that the wrestlers in the game run pretty slow, which can start to become rather annoying pretty fast. All in all the game-play is acceptable and so therefore I will give the game-play department a rating of 6/10 respectively.

Graphics 4/10 - The graphics in Legends of Wrestling are the major problem in this game. The character models are very poorly done. First of all, their muscles and bodies look totally awkward and their faces are very poor as well. The character select screen also looks like the game developers put absolutely no effort into it whatsoever and for that I lose respect for them. In fact, they don't like they put in a whole lot of effort into the character models or anything else at all. Even the arenas and floors look pretty bad and the crowd also looks ridiculous as well. The graphics are pretty poor and the final rating I give for the graphics department is a low 4/10 as I feel that is the only fair rating I can give to such a poor job.

Sound 2/10 - The sound in Legends of Wrestling is also extremely bad. If you give somebody a very strong punch, it sounds like you are throwing a ton of bricks at their head. The slaps in this game also sound very bad and even the theme musics you can choose from in Create a Legend are very limited and very bad sounding as well. It's a good thing you can rarely hear the entrance music in this game because if it played as much as every other sound does this game's sound would be absolutely no good at all. The final rating I give for the sound aspect of the game Legends of Wrestling is a 2/10 respectively.

Replay value 1/10 - There really is no replay value in the game Legends of Wrestling. It's just not a really good game at all. The best thing in this game in my view is the game-play in this game.

Rent or buy Rent if even - If you insist on playing this game, rent it first.
