- Help me list every worthwhile WWE wrestling game
|
Here's what I have so far. I must say that it looks like nearly if not every WWE wrestling game released on a Playstation home console was at least an okay game.
Worthwhile: The entire Smackdown series (this includes vs RAW) The entire WWE annual series Wrestlemania 2000, X8, XIX and Legends Day of Reckoning 1 and 2 No Mercy All Stars Debatable: Warzone Attitude EDIT: Noticing that the PS1 version of Wrestlemania: The Arcade game has high review scores and that Royal Rumble 2000 got average reviews. Of the games released on Sony consoles, In Your House looks to be the clear weakest. However, IYH is still way better than a lot of what came out before it and a number of games released after it too. Why were the PS1 releases of WWE games so consistent despite how many there were and how quickly they were pumping them out? In an era before the wrestling game formula was truly gotten down at that. However Gamecube has an amazing track record too despite not having nearly as many WWE games as PS1. It has WMX8 which is as average as it gets but it also has the AMAZING WMXIX and DOR1 and 2 which to many are GOAT wrestling games.

Legends of WrestleMania was great and lead to the Showcase mode in the main WWE games.
Xbox/PC had 2 Raw games. Dreamcast's was Royal Rumble.

WrestleMania The Arcade Game is awesome and I don't get why In Your House wasn't liked.

Wrestlemania X-8 is terrible.
Also I would say the smackdown series till 06 would be worthwhile and they worse as they go.

Raw 2 for the lulz. You could drop boxes on people in the hallway. 4 player season mode was hilarious.
It had some serious flaws though

I would call out the World Champion Triple H in Raw 2 and he would never come out to answer the challenge.
I tried to steal his stuff from the locker room, set traps and enlist the help of others in beating his ass backstage and nothing was ever successful in developing a feud. |

WWF Wrestlemania for the NES was my first wrestling game and I loved it.
WWF Super Wrestlemania for the SNES was great too.

Which game was it where Stephanie was trying to keep you off WrestleMania in the story mode? I remember being on construction sets and demolishing all the construction workers. I know it was for the Gamecube, but can't remember which game it was. That s*** was SO much fun. Pretty sure you could play multiplayer on that construction site, too.
If you feed them, they'll continue. It's that simple.
Why do you continue to watch something that you don't like weekly? I don't get it. |

your list is incrediably flawed.
every smackdown game is not worthwhile. there are a number that are outright horrendous. 2008, the original SvR, 2015....then we have ones that not quite as bad as like 2009 and 2010. but regardless my point is that the smackdown series is not a straight line of worthwhile games and anyone stating otherwise is simply lying pirate17 posted... Raw 2 for the lulz. You could drop boxes on people in the hallway. 4 player season mode was hilarious. then we have games like Raw 2....broken to hell and back but they let you drop anvils on people and the 128 man royal rumble in that game was hilariously great and probably the best royal rumble mode in any WWE game bar none....and what i mean is by accurately replicating the real royal rumble you could go in and out of the ring. yes no mercy had tons or rumble options but none made the rumble an actually truly accurate match type like Raw 2 does. so things like that make judging WWE games hard because WWE games had a strange history of going forward sideways and backwards every year and occasionally just being complete dog s***. monday nitro posted... Wrestlemania X-8 is terrible then you have this game and legends and im guessing WWE annual series means 2k15 and up? if so legends was hot garbage and 2k15 as mentioned before was hot garbage. also 18 was just horrendous. so your list is flawed....very flawed. then you have people that prefer a certain feature that isnt available anymore, so they will favor that one game. then you have people trash the gamecube games having never played them. and various things like that. the only way to know what WWE games are worthwhile for you, is to go back and play them. if you like 2k16 and 2k17...you'll probably like 2k18. if you don't you might find you prefer 2007-2009 or maybe 2010-2011. speaking of 2011....it had God-tier ladder matches and we've never seen them since. |

Universe mode was always garbage. It would have been cool if it ever actually worked the way it was advertised to, but it never did.

Royal Rumble, Monday Night Raw and Wrestlemania Arcade on SNES and Genesis. Great games. And Rage in a Cage on Sega CD is Awesome too. But the first three are essential

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll be looking into more of these titles since it wasn't until the PS1 and N64 era that I got into both wrestling and the games so I've only played most of the ones available on those consoles and I got burnt out during the SvR era and have only occasionally played newer titles with friends since.
I don't think some people get what I mean by worthwhile though, especially @kayoticdreamz. I mean the games are at least average titles, they don't have to be way above average to be considered worthwhile. WMX8 for example is no where near a terrible game to me and it was just borderline average. I had my fun with it and it didn't annoy me or anything. I just knew that there were better wrestling games since I had played better. I put Attitude and Warzone in debatable because I was unsure if I considered them average or slightly below average as I definitely find X8 better than them which is a game already borderline average. I personally do not like the WWE annual series and would take them off if I was going purely by my decision but most wrestling gaming fans find them average games so I put them on there. It's a no brainer that any game is going to be opinion but I'm going by popular opinion and so far my list lines up with that, so isn't flawed from that perspective. I'm surprised RAW 2 has any votes though because that game was hot garbage to me. Also, how could you be confused by the WWE annual moniker and start at 15' when it starts at 12'? Even if you were to go just by the 2K versions, it started at 14. Could have googled that in 5 seconds.

The Acclaim wrestling games of the late 90's were something else. They were incredibly flawed by design thanks to the hella awkward gameplay engine (having to input obtuse 2D fighting game style button commands to do all the moves...why?!) but I still managed to enjoy Warzone and Attitude. The two ECW games though... f***ing nope. The first one was a barebones reskin of Attitude and the second one tried to compensate by speeding up all the animations and adding new deathmatch-style match stipulations and types, but that stuff doesn't stop the game from being a boring chore to play.
RAW 1 & 2 were interesting cases. The first one had broken gameplay and hardly any content, but it did look fairly nice for a 2001 game, especially compared to Just Bring It, which barely looked like a big jump from its immediate predecessor. Char models ranged from good to hilariously bad, like the "i hate life and may drink a carton of bleach any second" face that HHH had. RAW1 mostly suffered from being rushed due to a tight deadline and essentially having its engine built from the ground up. RAW2 offered a lot more content and fixed certain things, but was still broken and got outclassed by the competing Shut Your Mouth that year. Kinda crazy how the PS2 was such a juggernaut that in spite of having inferior hardware specs to the Xbox and GC, most 3rd party devs still targeted to PS2 as the lead development platform and thus few games really showed what the other two consoles could do. GC at least got one okay game and three great/amazing ones, but Xbox players got the short end of the stick by far... Pretty much all WWE games on the Xbox sucked lol.

Wrestlemania 21. I heard if you play it at night you'll get sucked in through your TV and get your anus soaped up by JBL...which might actually be better than that game.
HH1 nobody on this board takes you seriously. nobody. do you understand me?-shycheesecake

Too bad it's not like that anymore. Parity and gimped versions. Missed when having multiple consoles actually meant something other than what exclusive first party games or group of friends is on what was a deciding factor. The versions would be similar yet different enough to justify owning them plus they'd often each have something exclusive to them which was an even greater reason to have them all or have friends with the other versions.

RAW 2 is great, so much potential if they'd have stuck with the series instead of trashing it for the horrendous garbage that was WrestleMania 21 then just killing every non-SvR series for ...some reason I'll never understand; DoR and RAW were both fantastic series and having unique WWE games for each console was great and gave players another thing to think about when deciding on which one to buy.
But I digress; RAW 2 has plenty of flaws but it is solid: a multiplayer season mode that had plenty of issues but definitely was setting the stage for an awesome future, a TON of customization for both CAWs and Superstars, an in-depth create-an-entrance, and a solid roster. If they cleaned up the season mode issues and improved the wrestling system it would've been a worthy rival to DoR and SvR.

Maybe I should give RAW 2 another go since I remember just being super disappointed with it back in the day. I remember when WMXX was being hyped up with how great it looked and then once it released fell off the face of the Earth. Should have kept that exclusive to GC in that era since even X8 was playable.
