Before WWE became big there was WCW, World Championship Wrestling. It had several games for the PS1, N64, Game Boy Color, and PC. "WCW Mayhem" was one of the better WCW games, it was released by Electronic Arts, on August 31, 1999. As far as wrestlers go you have categories of WCW, Wolfpac, NWO Wolfpac, NWO Black & White, Horsemen, and so on. "WCW Mayhem" was one of the first wrestling titles to have BACKSTAGE AREAS, though they were randomly chosen for you, it was still pretty cool back in 1999! That's a plus this game has, some other cool features include weapons, such as folding metal chairs, and the great announcers, Tony Schiavone and Bobby Sheenan. They make the announcers of modern WWE games look not so good. Anyway, as far as gameplay goes, the controls aren't perfect, sometimes when you try to get a hold of your opponent, sometimes your guy's hands can go through him. With Create a Wrestler, you've got quite a bit of options, clothing, accessories, theme music, nickname, body types, these options were quite a bit back in 1999. I like how many accessories they put in, that's nice. There's also "Quest for the Best", which is basically Career Mode, or Story Mode, which goes through different divisions, each with its own host wrestler. So, overall "WCW Mayhem" is a pretty decent, I remember playing it quite a bit back when I was 6 or 7, so I give this game an overall rating of 7.5 out of 10!
