GameVortex: WWE Legends of Wrestlemania Review

GameVortex writes: "Legends of WrestleMania is a fairly solid title in that the recreation of wrestling's glory days comes out from when the faction was still known as the WWF. The number of legends present is outstanding, even if a few superstars are curiously missing from the ranks. Any old school fan of the ultimate in sports entertainment will likely enjoy Legends of WrestleMania, especially through the ability to unlock real video from past WrestleMania events. Beware that the Tour Mode isn't as in-depth as other wrestling videogames, and that it is essentially just a bunch of match recreations without artificial storylines.

Might as well be Shakespeare to a nine-year-old.

Giants of PlayStation. Yes, we’re being literal

Despite what Wee Jimmy Krankie and the agony aunt section of men’s magazines might say to the contrary, size matters loads. Just ask any of these hulking goliaths. While some giants in popular culture are more concerned with shilling you canned sweetcorn than grinding your bones to make a wholemeal loaf, PlayStation’s gargantuan folk just want to trample, scoff or suplex you. Regardless of whether it’s a fallen god scrapping with his football field-sized granddad or a Skyrim beanpole who can mess you up more than any lag, none of these brutes exactly scream BFG.
