TQ author writes: I’ll start this review by saying that I have never been a huge fan of wrestling games. Not because I don’t like the sport, or not even because I don’t like fighting games. In fact, I love fighting games, I even have a soft spot for wrestling somewhere in my heart. The reason why I never liked wrestling games was for one simple reason, the controls. After playing WWE ALLSTARS for some time now, I came to find out that wrestling games can be an awesome experience, and you’ll be glad to know that WWE ALLSTARS offers one hell of an experience.
What classic WWF/WWE wrestling games are worth playing now? Quite a few, actually.
WCW/NWO World Tour and Wrestlemania 2000 were peak wrestling games. Back when wrestling was at the top of pop culture, everyone in school would watch. The gameplay is phenomenal and create your own characters opened up the door to WCW vs WWF. What a time!
The best wrestling games range from all-time classics on the N64 all the way up to some surprising new hitters you should check out.
I was always partial to the arcade wrestling games like Saturday night slam masters, wwf superstars, wrestlefest, wrestlemania, wrestle war and then a NES classic... pro wrestling. By the time the N64 era of wrestling games happened, I wasnt into wrestling much anymore (tv & games).
Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 & 2 > Most games on that list.
Also, WCW/NWO Revenge should be #2 minimum.
WWE 2k13 thanks to the WWE Attitude Mode. Followed by WWE Attitude and ECW Hardcore Evolution.
also: ECW! ECW! ECW!
