Acclaim made wreslting fun! This wasn't...
WWE Wrestlemania X8 missed on so much of the classic wrestling games. There's no blood, a load of clipping errors, and the sounds are really, really generic. When I punch someone, I expect to be hard hitting, not slapping someone like a sissy. I love the moves though. There's a ton of good moves but still, man, this game just isn't worth it. The screen shots on the back looked great. I buy every wrestling game and I was really sad this was boring.
The sounds are probably the worse thing in the game. The character's look like the people (sometimes) but the sounds are like this: if you had a soundboard that you could click with 20 different things, that would be it. The 20 sounds on the soundboard also include the numbers 1 through 10.

Pros:
Hulk Hogan is in it; Create a character wasn't that boring.
Cons:
Graphics weren't that good when it first came out; Sounds are weak!; Controls are even bad; Boring gameplay that makes you scream.
Overall:
Get a Dreamcast and get WWF Attitude. RIP Wreslting games.
