Customer Reviews of Showdown: Legends of Wrestling
Don't believe the Hype? Showdown does have a great variety of legends in this game but don't be fooled. The controls are still very hard to learn and seem to get stuck during game play. In addition, there are some glitches that need to be worked out in this game. For example, during the showdown challenge the announcers' voices become muffled and hard to understand, and the game gets stuck on a few screens while pulling off some wrestling holds and counterholds. Also, all wrestlers' moves are very similar to eachother and after awhile of game play it gets very boring quickly. It takes almost ten minutes to fill up your energy meter to perform your speciality move. The characters move very slow, and The replay value isn't very high. In my opinion, this game is just a remake of Legends of Wrestling II. with more legends. BeIieve it or not Legends of Wrestling II was more exciting. It doesn't even compare to the Smackdown Franchise video games. Take my advice please, save $50 bucks and rent it first. Be the judge for yourself. On a scale from 1-10. I may give it a 5-6 rating because I have been a wrestling fan for 25 years and even thats being generous. Acclaim needs to take some notes from THQ and learn how to make a real fun and exciting wrestling game!
The truth about legends of wrestling
I've been playing wrestling games since 1988's WWF Wrestlemania for NES and I've played damn near every game since then for all consoles. I know my wrestling games and this one sucks. Although this game has some improvments over the former legends of wrestling games, it's still way short on moves. Only three Strikes per player! Thats right only three strikes per player...1 2 3!!! Forget about doing an irish whip into the ropes because the person being whipped can get out of it everytime by press square and I mean everytime, attacking from outside the ring, forget that too because it never works. Last time I checked the year was 2004 going on 2005 ..and Akklaim is releasing crap like this? Sad but true.
The roster is the only reason I bought this game and its the only reason I gave it two stars. The rosters is awesome!
No Legend Here
I bought this game drooling at the idea that I could have The Ravishing One vs. Mr. Wonderful in a first blood match but the slow responsiveness of the controls and lack of replayability ruins this game. How could this truly be a legends game without Ric Flair, Arn & Ole Anderson, Magnum T.A.,Junkyard Dog and let us not forget The Total Package Lex Luger and the Midnight Express. This game is for hardcore fans who reminisce of the old-school days of the NWA and WWF. I think I may purchase WWE-HCTP. How bout this classic match for the next Legends title- Texas Boot Strap Match.
