User Rating: 8.3 | Showdown: Legends of Wrestling XBOX
Unreal how this was rated so bad. I think the people who gave it originally a 6.5 need to over look the other wrestling games that they gave better scores to. Yeah, its no smackdown, so what if its no raw, L.O.W. is not trying to be. Its an original wrestling game made by a completely different franchise, of coarse its gonna be different. The gameplay is alot different. The blocking patterns are the only thing really that take a while to get down. Once you create a wrestler or look at a legends moveset, you can pretty much begin to understand how to work your character. The graphics are pretty cool if you ask me. Its the first wrestling title i have seen that actually has the hair on the wrestlers moving pretty acurately, instead of looking like 3 pieces of wood atached to someones head and bending at the hinges. Yeah the CHALLENGE mode is a little dry, 15 or so matches, but atleast they make you do cage matches and table matches and you can get into that pretty well. The classic fights are cool, for any old school wrestling fan, matches like the warrior and hogan or macho man and steamboat pre-set in there for you to change the outcome of. The one thing i think would have helped this game a WHOLE lot, would be a tornado tag selection. This is the only reason me and my friends have to keep playing smackdown. Whats more fun then pummeling guys together in a ring. For conclusion, L.O.W. isnt smackdown or raw, but if your looking for an original wrestling game with great graphics thats fun and brings back the memories of your favorite wrestlers growing up, it doesnt hurt to rent this game and try it once to make the decision yourself if its for you. For me, its another wrestling title and me being the true fan i am, its a must, and i am not one bit dissapointed in this games delivery. Oh yeah, except it needs to add some hot chicks next time too. Thanx
