3.0 out of 5 stars
Surprisingly not too bad.,
By Mark Lawson (Manhattan, N.Y.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WWE Wrestlemania X8 (GameCube) (Video Game)
I avoided this like the plague when it was first released, due to the terrible reviews it got. However when i saw it on special offer for £2.97 (yes, really!) I couldn't resist. surprisingly, it's not too bad. Graphics are reasonable, apart from the strange use of 2-D sprites for the weapons (chairs/fire extinguishers). Sound - each fighter has his own entrance song, and these are all good; but you only get to hear 10-15 seconds of this, as the fighter enters the ring; while the actal fight is going on, there are only two possible songs, and both of these sound like SNES-style midi.Gameplay - it's actually a lot of fun to play, I don't know why but it is. One bad point is that the ladder and table matches are almost impossible to win. Lifespan - I didn't expect this game to last vrey long, but I am still playing it, 3 months after i bought t. Overall, a decent enough game - buy it if you can get it cheaply on special offer or second hand, I wouldn't pay over £15 for it.

WWE Wrestlemania X8 - Decent enough well done THQ!,
This review is from: WWE Wrestlemania X8 (GameCube) (Video Game)
Er... great game! The graphics have improved from most of the older wrestling games, but the cheering crowd still look like cardboard cut-outs. The moves are OK but I mean what are THQ playing at - each wrestler only has 5 grapple moves! Well that's a big thing that was muffed up. The really great thing about the game is the matches you can play. Pin, Hardcore, Cage, Hell in a Cell, Ladder, TLC and Ironman matches! Lovely! Also there's a decent number of wrestlers to choose from, around 45.And also in the championships that you play you can't do multiplayer when going for titles. Oh well, let's hope that WWE Wrestlemania X9 will perfect these flaws so that there's be a much better one coming out soon! Thanks for reading - I hope this was useful information for you.

Could be improved..,

This review is from: WWE Wrestlemania X8 (GameCube) (Video Game)
This isn't as great a game as the Smackdown titles on the Ps1 but it is a good game. The graphics are ok, the gameplay is good but the lack of options lets the game down. There's no season mode like in Smackdown or any Backstage action. The 'Create a Wrestler' option isnt as good either. One thing THQ missed out on Wrestlemania X8 was adding Brock Lesnar and more characters. Other than that the game is pretty good and its worth playing especially if you're into wrestling games.
