This game is a button - masher piece of bile!!!!????!?
I picked up, started pressing away. I pressed the SQUARE button, and he punched. Then pressed it numerous times, to try to set - up a combo. BUT I was expecting something harder than this! I hoped Andre would fight back! BUT NO! This was my first PS3 game, first time playing a PS3, with my new SIXAXIS, as I was QUITE used to my XBOX360 pad. To me, navigating to the game symbol was a bit intricate.
But, in my first playing the thing, DESTROYING the match? THAT WAS RIDICULOUS!
Anyway ,everytime your opponent grabs you, you must press a certain button. This was good if there was a button - mash mini - game, instead of just simply looking at an icon, then pressing the button. Yeah, that's treachorously difficult. I won the match in litearlly, I kid you not on this one. 50 seconds. I couple of square buttons, a finisher, then pinned him. That was too easy, it wasn't even funny. So, anyways, FUMING at the how easy the game was, I decided to play story mode, and set it up to the highest level of difficulty it could reach. First match. Won without any difficulty in a matter of seconds. As I progressed through the game, I began to notice something. None of my opponents even tried to defend themselves in anyway. Sure, there's the odd block, punch, kick, or grapple. But every blocked, I broke through. With every punch and kick, I blocked/dodged. And every grappe, he missed, or I pressed the button.
On the final match, the big ' un, I tried to see something. Since wasting an hour of my time, to get this thing. I deicded. "Hey, I'm free for a while, if I lose this match, there's always tomorow". So I decided something. To play the final match, at top difficulty, top handicap, and it was the FINAL MATCH!!!!????!? So, I looked to see where my opponent was, walked over to him, and then looked away. I continously pressed the **** **** damn SQUARE button for two minutes, then pinned him. No grapples, finishers, weapons, or anything near different. Just mashed the SQUARE button for a bit, and WON!!!!????!? This game is the worst thing I have ever played in my life. I rated it 4.0 because of the nostalgic chord it struck. If it didn't bring back memories, after that slow and silly match against Andre The Giant, it would have been hidden away, to collect dust for the end of its days.
