Customer Reviews of WWE Wrestlemania X8

Let's be honest, this game is not acceptable by any means. Whether ir be from a wrestling game point of view, a sports game, fighting game or even a video game in general, it is truly not good at all. The graphics are sub par, the controls are really bad (even worse, in my opinion, than Psone and N64's WCW Nitro) and the sound is pretty bad too.

First off, the graphics. They're not clean and neat compared to the SMACKDOWN series on PS2. Each character is barely individual as well. They just have the clothes and the moves. Other than that, most of the characters look fairly the same. And let's not even start on the Create A Wrestler because that is also a pain. The game itself is surrounded on the ring and the first few rows of ringside seating and nothing else. What does that mean? It means, you can only fight in the ring area. You cannot go into any back areas and going on the stage still looks a little plain.

The controls weren't working for me. I couldn't get it down no matter what I tried. Plus the motions and movements of each character are a little stiff. The controls take a little time to get used to. After some practice, it's not so bad but still, they're a little advanced for younger gamers.

Last but not least, the audio is a disaster. There is no commentary and there are no voices for the wrestlers. The only sounds I heard were when you hit the mat and the audience noise. And the some of the wrestler's entrance themes are off. Perfect example, the New World Order music is not even the real thing. It's some really bad guitar power chord and riff fusion and I assure you, it sounds bad.

Unfortunately, I'd have to say skip this one and wait until the Gamecube gets another WWE game because WRESTLEMANIA X8 won't be worth your money. Trust me, I had to learn that the hard way. I bought this game and traded it back in 3 days. If you're still looking for a wrestling game for Gamecube, check out LEGENDS OF WRESTLING II. I'm not to fond of that game either but, there are a few improvements to that game. Again, do yourself a favor and skip WRESTLEMANIA X8.

well...... its okay
Well, this game is o.k. Each wrestler only has 10 grappling moves. (5 from front, 5 from back). And a special move. The control is okay. It is annoying when you try to pick up weapons. You have to press A+X at the same time. There is no story mode/career mode. There is a battle for the belts. All you do is an amount of matches until you face the champion. Don't even try a fatal four way match. Every opponent will go after you the whole match. There is about every match type. Cage, ladder, hell in a cell, single, tag, tlc, and hardcore, table. Some people don't have there original theme music/titantron. Overall, an OKAY game for hardcore wrestling fans.
