Wrestlin' Good Fun On the PC
There's a huge selection of wrestlers to choose from. You have the works of the WCW and the nWo (new World order). Each character is detailed nicely, from their faces down to the amount of lightning bolts in Hollywood Hogan's pants. The animations are pretty good, even for an older game. All of the moves are animated according to their wrestler's fighting style, so you get a good sense of individuality. One thing you may not like with the animations, however, is the smoothness between moves. Unlike today's games where every polygon has individual programmed physics into them, this game is based on scripts. So sometimes you may be in the middle of an animation and it will just jump to a new one. Still, this was very familiar during the time of this game. All of the entrances and intro music is there. This just gives the game a more realistic feel to it.
One fun thing you can do is actually open the texture files and modify your characters look, which is fun if you're into making your own style of wrestlers. This is pretty cool since you can actually put more detail in the textures than what was originally intended.
Wrestling games may not ever appear on the PC again, but you can still have a lot of fun with a good controller and a friend. I highly recommend this if you just want some cheap wrestling fun.
