Introduction
A game made in the 90's! A period where wrestling was at it's hottest. For those of you whom are not wrestling fans or a late wrestling fan, back in the late 90's, there was something called the Monday Night Wars. Two wrestling company's named WCW World Champion Wrestling and WWF World Wrestling Federation[Now known today as WWE World Wrestling Entertainment] were batting each other for top ratings. WCW was a monster, because it was managed by people whom were punishing the WWE by slander, show spoilers and anything else it could do to ruin the company, leading it to defeat the WWE 84 weeks straight in the rating. These types of tricks and less show development would later back fire back on WCW and allow the WWE to defeat them once and for all.
Before the WCW went under and was brought by Vince Mcmahon, the owner of the WWE, WCW was starting to change the face of Wrestling games forever when they responded with it's sequel to WCW/NWO World Tour named WCW/NWO Revenge which took a much more richer look into the wrestling game world. Of course WWE made games too, and with the huge success of Revenge, the WWE said we're not gonna take this and responded back with it's own huge hit Wrestle-Mania 2000.
Story
Couldn't give this game a rating, as it doesn't have much story, besides being in a period where group NWO is still terrorizing and fighting a war with the WCW roster wrestlers whom did not join up with them. As the intro opens up, Sting, a guy whom has been on the receiving end of the New World Order's brutality multiple times, returns to the WCW with a new look and stronger will to fight and seek REVENGE on the NWO's leader Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Besides that little information, you don't actually follow a storyline in this game. You just pick a wrestler and fight.
Depth-10 out of 10. Graphics- 10 out of 10 Sound-9 out of 10
Improved upon WCW/NWO World Tour, the game features 63 wrestlers that are not only from WCW's show roster, but from international promotions such as DOA Dead or Alive as well just like the previous World Tour. Not only that, but you can fight for WCW's actual title belts, there are more arenas based off the ppv names such as WCW Fall Brawl, Bash at the Beach and WCW's top ppv WCW Starcade, more signature moves and a edit feature that allows you to change the name and attire of a wrestler.
The look of the game is also much more highly improved with a sharper look compared to WCW/NWO World Tour which had flatter look to it. Theres also a long more songs added to the game which can be heard mainly during Championship mode where each of the 9 rounds has it's own song. I gave the sound a 9 out of 10 only because the game did not add the wrestlers themes to the game where they come in though the entrance. Something WWF Wrestle-Mania 2000 made sure it added.
Addictiveness- 8 out of 10
As a game that made it's mark on history, it was a really fun game to play for a while and It gave us plenty to do with it's wider extent of features such as 40 man battle and allowing us to control our favorite wrestler and hold any of the actual title belts. It had it's addictive moments, but you could say, there could have been a little bit more such as a storyline mode. If this game had added that instead of the just title matches alone, this game might would have earned at least a 9.
Difficulty
The game doesn't have a set hardness. It has a option feature that allows you to set it from normal to either easy or hard.
Overall- 8.5 out 10
This game is overall an amazing game, if you are a wrestling fan, a old school game or even both. If you still have this game, don't throw it away because it's pretty much a collectors item now. It has many amazing features that can keep you playing for a while and a good game to play with three other people, but lacks a story mode for you to play which is a vocal point in a wrestling game.
