WWF Wrestlemania 2000

All in all, this is the definitive wrestling game. You can't ask for a better quality wrestler than this... until Smackdown! comes out. Wrestling fanatics have probably picked up their copy of this fine title, but if you got an N64 and Donkey Kong 64 isn't up your alley, I suggest taking this for a spin and seeing if it's worth the purchase. If you're one of those poor souls who's been fed on WCW Nitro and Thunder on the Playstation, do what I did; buy an N64 and this game. That's all you'll need.

Even with some of the flaws, this is the absolute pinnacle of wrestling games. Acclaim can longer release WWF games using their tired and outdated engine. THQ, bring it on.

Al zijn de moves soms lastig te maken, het is en blijft een geinig spelletje.

I suppose WWF WM2K is worth a buy. Hardcore fans of the genre will love the game, I'm sure. The only disappointment is that the wrestlers and moves don't have realistic attributes. If the wrestler you create has a punch as his signature maneuver, it will hurt your opponent a lot when you do it. Another example is that Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson are as skilled as Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock. You probably won't agree with me from the get-go, but if you look deep into the game, you'll realize what I'm talking about. Overall, this game isn't to pass, give it a try.

Insgesamt ist WWF Wrestlemania 2000 eine kleine Enttäuschung. Das Gameplay ist gewohnt gut, man hat mehr Optionen als bei WCW/nWo Revenge aber die cheatende KI nervt ganz gewaltig und hätte so wirklich nicht sein müssen. Hinzu kommen die technischen Punkte, denn die Einzüge sind wirklich schrecklich. So ist das Spiel für den Multiplayer empfehlenswert

Iedereen die de wrestlinggames van THQ nooit geprobeerd heeft omdat de WCW license misschien niet tot de verbeelding sprak, krijgt nu zijn kans.

In the end, WWF Wrestlemania 2000 exudes some fine ideas, but lacks a solid gameplay engine and enough technical prowess. Nevertheless, for its time and technical restraints, the game suffices as a satiable experience.

WWF Wrestlemania 2000 does a lot of things right. It's got some good gameplay, though it may be a bit too simplistic for some. It improves on THQ's last N64 wrestling game by quite a lot, especially with the addition of a good create-a-wrestler mode. But the terrible sound, only passable graphics, and general lack of originality keep this title from reaching greatness. This engine has delivered some good games, but I think it's definitely time for an all-new engine.

WWF Wrestlemania 2000 looks like a solid game, and is chock full of nifty little details. But in this case, the details only accentuate the game's ultimate lack of character, and outline the space that should be filled by good gameplay.

For those desperate to take their favorite wrestlers on the road, check out some of the earlier WWF titles like WWF Superstars. It may not be a classic, but it's better than this. The fact that this game is in color doesn't make it worth the price of admission. The astonishing lack of now standard features and shameful gameplay barely push this game over the "tolerable" level.
