WWE Legends of WrestleMania Demo Available, Impressions Here

[TimmeH]

Really, this game has so much potential. Anyone who enjoys the controls should have an absolute blast playing it. 38 playable legends, and then 50+ playable characters to import from SVR. That's a huge *** roster, so many options. I hope it lives up to the hype I've created in my head. Playing the demo, it feels like the best [American] wrestling game I've played since NM.

But the one part that pisses me off is that no matter how good your CAL's are you can't have them mimic the way they move around the ring and when they enter the ring or thier names announced or thier music when they enter. Well I guess you can with the custom soundtracks but I don't know how to do all that customizing music stuff on my PS3. Plus the commentators don't recognize him, it's just not the same. Too bad because the presentaion is one of the strongest parts of the game.

When you create a guy in SVR do you assign them ratings at the beginning so in LOW we could create Savage and assign a 90 rating right off? Wouldn't you have to build him up first and if you're gonna do that with multiple creations it will take forever. Well I guess that gives it replay value.

Wrestling is a work, but there's still a realistic way they do things. Which some games have done better than others, this one doesn't ahere to much realism as far as wrestling goes and some people won't get past that and will quit within their first match they see Hogan throwing left handed punches, jumping as high as kofi, and doing bret hart style russian leg sweeps. That's what i was referring to as realism Still a fun game though.

I was just being a smart *** but to guys like those who will nitpick for left handed punches and crap like that then they'll spend thier whole life looking for the perfect games in anything because they look for what's wrong in a game rather than enjoy what's right in it.

You have idiots who will nitpick at MLB 09 and trash it even though it might be the best sports game ever made just because of some stupid thing like a certain batter takes practice swings differently than he does in real life so they think the game is ruined.

I really cant wait to see how that turns out.

I'd imagine i would probably can just get rid of SVR after i do that.

The game brings back memories of the LJN line of wrestling figures from the 80's with regards to the character models. I have really enjoyed the demo and will be picking this up for sure as I grew up in the 80's and went Wrestlemania 2,3&4 via closed circuit at my local arena. To bad they couldn't have had jesse ventura and vince doing commentary that would have really added to the game for overall authenticity of that era.

I was kind of wondering that myself, are the svr guys going to work under the svr controls or have less moves and the lowm controls?
