"A Wrestling game for the SNES"

Graphics: 7/10

The screen in Wrestle Mania really never moves. It just has one picture on the ring. The wrestlers look like they do in real life, not just white blobs with the right clothing on. You can tell the difference in each wrestler, even when all of the wrestlers on in a Royal Rumble match. The coward jump up and down and look like they do in real life. The moves of the wrestlers look like what they do in real life. The game could have improved by maybe letting you see a different part of the arena.

Sound: 9/10

The sound in the game is pretty good for the Super Nintendo. The theme songs in the game are good for all of the wrestlers. The sounds of the wrestlers getting choked or kicked sound the same. The game could have improved if they would have had different kind of grunts for each wrestler. There is no commentary in this game.

Game play: 8/10

The game play for this game isn't too bad. The controls are easy to learn but are hard to master. The harder the difficulty the harder it is to win grapples. The game is mostly about getting position so you can throw the people out of the ring. If you get to close to the ropes and do a body slam the guy will hit the ropes and bounce back making you fall down too. There are several modes: Royal Rumble, one on one, and tag team.

Replay: 7/10

The replay for this good is medium because you never really get hooked to this game. All the matches play the same and never really change. The difficulty's do change but never get much harder than the one before it. This is probably the best wrestling game for the Super Nintendo. The multi-player for Wrestle Mania is fun for a while then gets boring because there isnt many modes to choose from.

Overall: 7.3/10

You should go and buy this game if you are a wrestling fan and considering this game is very old it probably dosen't cost that much. Go buy it!
