WWF Royal Rumble

If you want a fighting game with a twist (and a bend and bite), grapple with WWF Royal Rumble. If you don't...well, The Undertaker just might pay you a visit.

Big improvement on the first game, but becomes dull if you're playing against the computer.

After an hour or so's playing you'll have pretty much discovered everything the game's got to offer, whereupon, unless you're a committed WWF fan and you loved the first game, your interest in it is likely to tail off pretty quickly. Royal Rumble isn't a game I could unreservedly recommend to everyone. Most of what it's got to offer relies on kitsch-appeal, and serious gamers won't have much time for it. But, well, we just kind of liked it.

Compared to the SNES version, the graphics and sound are slightly less powerful, and the SNES version has Mr. Perfect and Ted Dibiase, but the Genesis version is still a good game, and worth the cheap price you find it for.

WWF Royal Rumble ist insgesamt eine deutliche Steigerung gegenüber WWF Super Wrestlemania, allerdings hat es eben so seine Schwächen die vermeidbar gewesen wären. Es würde einfach mehr Spaß machen, wenn man das Tag Team Turnier zu zweit spielen könnte. Trotzdem war es zur damaligen Zeit ein sehr gutes Spiel und zumindest im Einzelspielermodus ist es auch heute noch nett, vor allem natürlich durch den Retroroster.
