GameFocus writes: "For years, THQ and Yukes have been putting out quality wrestling titles, featuring the grapplers of the modern era with serious attention to detail. While some of these offerings have offered the chance to play as select legends, they've never really attempted a game dedicated solely to those legends. As the title suggests, Legends of Wrestlemania is out to change that. Bringing back the glitz and glamour of the 80's and 90's in a big way, fans of wrestling's old school will find plenty of nostalgia packed goodies here. Aimed squarely at those gamers old enough to remember what it was like to watch Hulk Hogan slam Andre the Giant, Yuke's have opted to simplify the intimidating control scheme from its Smackdown series. Are the new controls enough to lure the more casual crowd, as well as satisfy the core SVR audience that they've built up over the years?"
Pros
+ Presentation is excellent during Tour mode.
+ Relive is a great mode.
+ Music and commentary are well done.
+ Offers a fair number of legends.
+ Ability to import Smackdown 09 roster adds variety to the package.
+ Old-school montages are fantastic.
+ Trophies are incredibly easy.
Cons
- Quick-time events kill the pacing of the matches.
- Character models don't look too great.
- Retro controls are simple, but not very engaging.
- Severely unbalanced button mashing mechanics.
- Online is barely worth mention.
- Legend Killer lacks checkpoint system.
- Rewrite and Redefine aren't nearly as in-depth as Relive.
One week from the next gen release of WWE 2K15, let's take a look at how moves and animations have evolved (?) through the WWE Games series... After comparing the character models with last week's video, we now look at the animation of several finishers / signature moves.
Many of the old animations look better than the new ones especially the Sweet Chin Music and Goldberg's spear. The 2K14 Clothesline from Hell looks awesome though.
Comparing the face textures of WWE Games character models through the years... featuring John Cena, Booker T, JBL, Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, Mr. McMahon and many more... evolution?
I hope that was the last generation version of 2k15 if it is I'm canceling my pre order.
WWE have produced a lot of video games in their time, with varying degrees of quality. Which are the best though? Jason Delacey tries to pick five Stone Cold Stunners.
Here comes the pain.... all time fav WWE...
once my cousins and i played elimination chamber whole night .. one match whole night.. good times
peace
