WWF Wrestlemania 2000
Reviewed by Nur Al-saraf
The WWF is a very big sport and have millions upon billions of fans.
All of these fans, including myself, have been waiting for a game
where YOU could live the lives of the WWF superstars that we all
know and love! We've waited and waited for a game worthy of satisfying
our hunger, and it's finally here...well it's been here for a kind of long time
but it's certainly satisfied me, although not completely, with new things
coming out of the WWF in real life all the time, it's difficult for Nintendo
to keep up, as well as the N64 having limited capabilities. But this game
makes you think that N64 is really something like N500!!!
Graphics: 7.5 out of 10
The graphics are great at a constant 24-30 frames per second. Although
sometimes the graphics can get glitchy and grainy it really doesn't effect
too much, the graphics still look almost spot on in every aspect of
graphics from realism to speed and the way things move, or in mathematical
terms, rotational or translational movements. (in a circle or straight lines)
The graphics are certainly not too blocky at all and look realistic in some
ways. Unlike some previous wrestling games, Wrestlemania is not obviously
blocky or grainy and the characters move very well. Some good graphics
that raises the capabilities of the N64 a impressive bit higher in terms
of graphics.
Music and Sound: 7 out of 10
The sound is bone-crunchingly good with smashes and cracks of bones
and the sound of being busted open gives a terrific thrill. Although the
music isn't great, it gets you in the mood for the match and the fighting.
The sounds have a great edge to them and give off a feeling or vibe to
really lay into your opponent and the sound of the weapons just makes
you want to get in that crowd, take a weapon and BATTER your opponent.
The music hype's you hype and makes you just keep going and going... The
bad thing about the music is it doesn't have realism and doesn't really
sound that great, luckily, the game is so occupying you wont find time
to pay attention to the music that carefully!
Game Challenge: 8.2 out of 10
Wrestlemania 2000 is quite easy for great game players, such as myself,
but has other levels apart from easy, medium will give you a win lose
unpredictable situation that's more realistic as well as fun. Hard is for
real masters which, unlike easy which always leans to your winning,
tends to lean to your losing a match. It's challenging in career mode
(Road to Wrestlemania) but with lots of practice this game can be mastered
which goes for less playability time.
Game Play-Fun: 8.5 out of 10
This game is really fun from as soon as you start playing to when
you master it. It is really fun to play, with the option of bashing your
mates in multi player or just beating the hell out of a superstar you hate.
Also with a great create a player mode with lots and lots and LOTS of
choice, you could be playing this game for endless hours. Though sometimes
it may frustrate and become Not really fun, it still is a good game that
wont wear out for a long time to come and also even when you've finished
the whole game altogether, you may feel an urge to take out anger on
friends or even the computer. Overall real fun and will last.
Rumble Pak: 7.5 out of 10
The rumble pak is a great invention and should be put to good use but
although in WWF Wrestlemania it feels great bashing someone and
feeling it, the rumble's don't really come in time with the game speed.
On the good side, the rumble's feel realistic and makes you feel full of
energy, beware of getting hyper from this game!!! It gives you a rush
hitting someone with a chair and feeling their PAIN!!!! The rumble pak
factor is ok and should be tried if not bought.
Frustration
This game can be great fun and can have long playability but if you
lose, you'll be in for a bad feeling and a lot of anger. If you are being
beaten the frustration factor is quite high which can be very bad, but
other choices can relieve anger by being able to make your opponent look
like a bloated sissy or a skinny NERD!! Also playing other options or
bashing anyone that wants to challenge you, as well as gritting your
teeth, relieves frustration in some ways.
Frustration can come in large amounts but can be relieved if you hold
it inside till your mate comes or just laughing your head off by playing
'round with their appearance!!!
Replayability: 7 out of 10
I'll say this again as this explains really well the lastability, This
game is really fun from as soon as you start playing to when you
master it. It is really fun to play, with the option of bashing your mates
in multi player or just beating the hell out of a superstar you hate. Also
with a great create a player mode with lots and lots and LOTS of choice,
you could be playing this game for endless hours. Though sometimes it
may frustrate and become Not really fun, it still is a good game that
wont wear out for a long time to come and also even when you've
finished the whole game altogether, you may feel an urge to take out
anger on friends or even the computer. Overall real fun and will last.
Game Value: 8 out of 10
If your a true wrestling fan, then this is game is certainly worth it to
buy and keep as your own, mastering most factors of judging, this
game can even be called a MASTERPIECE for some fanatics. It has
lastability and graphics and sound among other hings and will be worth
it to buy. Go out and get it WWF maniacs!!!
Overall: 8.7 out of 10
WWF Wrestlemania is a very hyped up game game, and rightly so as it
is very good and only misses a few things but masters others. Graphics,
options, sounds, lastability, multi player, fun, this game has it all.
Fanatics of games and WWF, this is a must get. Non fans can have fun
with this game anyway so go get it and have fun Smashing and Bashing!!!
