Acclaim hits the mat old-school style with its latest brawler, Legends of Wrestling II.
Let's Get Ready to Rumble
Featuring over 65 of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, Legends of Wrestling II is like the "Who's Who" of wrestling video games. Ageless icons like Hulk Hogan, Rowdy Roddy Piper and Andre the Giant battle it out in the squared circle for wrestling supremacy.
Famous tag-teams of yesteryear return with similar style. Who could forget classic teams like the Nasty Boys, The Road Warriors, Rock-n-Roll Express and more? Little details like character-specific animations and signature theme songs remind you of the good ol' days of professional wrestling.
And where would any worthwhile wrestler be without a loud-mouthed manager to back him up? Don't worry, because Acclaim has also included some of the most famous (and shady) management in the history of wrestling. Feel secure knowing your corner is backed up by the likes of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, The Grand Wizard, Captain Lou Albano, "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart and Mr. Fuji.
Be the Legend
If you're not impressed with the expansive lineup, you can always create your own grappler thanks to the handy Create-A-Legend mode. Players can choose from hundreds of textures, builds and moves to craft their very own wannabe superstar.
Finally, Nintendo GameCube owners can take their wrestler(s) of choice to worldwide fame and fortune. Following up the success of Legends of Wrestling, Acclaim's sequel brings forth an all-new story line and career modes for lengthy gameplay.
Everything But the Kitchen Sink
Aside from wrestling mainstays like single and tag-team matches, Legends of Wrestling II also offers eight-man Elimination Bouts and Cage, Battle Royal, Ladder and Table matches. You can live out your wrestling fantasies with just about any type of match-up you can think of.
The actual wrestling itself features the same strategic elements found in the original Legends of Wrestling. Players can punch, kick, block and grapple their opponents into submission. The unique button-timing system requires players to rely more on strategy and well-timed reactions than mindless button mashing.
Three-Count Win
Legends of Wrestling II is a video-game wrestling hall of fame. Offering nearly every famous wrestler to ever enter the ring (and some only true diehards would remember), Legends of Wresting II is the pinnacle of classic wrestling on the Nintendo GameCube.

www.nintendo.com - Game Boy Advance:
Legends of Wrestling II has arrived on the Game Boy Advance with a huge list of ring warriors from pro wrestling's glorious past.
Masters of the Mat
It takes more than bulging muscles and spandex to make a legend, although they're a pretty good start. It also takes charisma and style, characteristics that are shared by all 40 wrestlers in Legends of Wrestling II. Top names include Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant, and Rowdy Roddy Piper.
The menus and controls will feel similar to the Nintendo GameCube version of the same game. You can strike your opponent with a variety of attacks, but the real action begins when you grapple. Once you have entered a grapple, the brutal moves begin, including body slams, submission holds and the dreaded Back Breaker.
Reversals and Combos are all performed by a well-timed button press when a special icon appears below your health meter. There are special moves to learn for each wrestler, but only dedicated players will be able to distinguish them. The combination of timing and quick button presses gives Legends of Wrestling II an arcadey feel typical of hand-held wrestling games.
Game Modes
Select Exhibition Mode to leap into the squared circle with any unlocked wrestler. In this mode, you can play a standard Versus Match or opt for a Tag Team, 3-Way Dance or 4-Way Dance. There is no multiplayer support, so all rivals will be CPU-controlled.
The action can get quite hectic when wrangling with multiple computer opponents, but you can switch the focus of your gladiatorial attentions with a tap of the L Button.
In Career Mode choose a region to compete in, then win matches to gain popularity. After earning and defending several regional belts you can compete for the fictional World Belt. In this mode you will be faced with all types of matches. If you become champion you will unlock a new wrestler for use in any mode.
In Tournament Mode, choose from Versus or Tag Team, then battle your way to the top of the ladder. You can choose from three difficulty levels.
Trivia-obsessed wrestling fans will want to scrutinize the electronic cards with key statistics for each unlocked wrestler. Once you complete Career Mode with a wrestler, a bio will also appear on his card. Did you know that Bam Bam Bigelow hails from Bruce Springsteen's hometown of Asbury Park, N.J.?
A two-fisted blast from the past, Legends of Wrestling II lets you live out your wrestling dreams with the champions of yesteryear.
