Finally The Rock has come to the Game Boy Advance in
WWF Road to Wrestlemania, and he's not alone--he's joined by 23 other WWF superstars. Beefcakes such as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Edge, Chris Jericho, Triple H and William Regal can participate in a nice variety of matches in several settings. Basic match types are singles, tag team, triple threat, handicap and cage matches. WWF novelty bouts like King of the Ring, Royal Rumble, and iron-man matches are also included, and users can select from a variety of rules including time limits, count-outs, pinning victories, submission victories and hard-core rules. The action can take place in six arenas mimicking the various WWF television shows and pay-per-view events. Best of all, the game supports the link cable allowing up to four players to participate in the mayhem.
Gameplay is surprisingly deep. The simple controls allow for more than 40 moves, including signature finishers; when each wrestler enters the ring his theme music plays to a slick video montage, much like it does on the WWF TitanTron. Unfortunately, the music that plays during the action will get on your nerves. Character models are good, but the animation is a little off, making the wrestlers' movements very jerky. Also detracting from the game's flow are moments when the opponent's artificial intelligence seems to blank out making him stand around for a few seconds. That said, these flaws are relatively minor compared to the depth and variety that's packed into this cartridge. You can finally enjoy the larger-than-life superstars of the WWF in the palm of your hands. --Raymond M Padilla
