| dumptruck's Full Review: WWE WrestleMania 21 for Xbox |
"The more things change, the more they stay the same". That's a cliche' that fits this game nicely. Raw and Raw 2 for XBOX were not that good. Wrestlemania 21 however is a flat out joke, yet you won't find alot too funny.
I never really give an analytical review, but for this game, I'll bite the bullet.
Graphics: Yeah, they're nice.
Sound: The music is nice when it's not skipping. I don't think I've experienced anything like this. A brand new game without scratches and the music is skipping?!
Control: Well, it was a great idea to have two grapple buttons. Too bad the control is horrible. It takes at least a second for the wrestler to respond on certain commands. Another thing I noticed is that my wrestlers get stuck within one another. I've seen crazy glitches, but man!! I want to hit someone with a weapon, but it takes too long to respond. This is when I'm left vulnerable because the actual command hasn't gone through. The cpu knows this. Oh yeah, I don't see a weight system. I play as The Big Show, yet Spike Dudley body slams me.
The story mode: It sucks. I'm playing against Chavo Guerrero and Rene' Dupree interferes constantly. Here's where it's really fun: I have to win in three minutes! I have yet to get past that stage. You have to win, you can't take a loss and move on!! You have to win!!
I guess it's my own fault. I read the reviews, but I just had to see for myself. What's really funny is that the store I got this "game" ( or lack thereof ) from, all sales are final.
Look, I know I get flak for the way I do my reviews, but take heed and don't bother with this game. It's a shame, really. The programmers made like this would make up for Raw and Raw 2. Please.
