This game sucks |
| LG da prodigy from Austin Texas says (3/Aug/2003): |
I admit it was fun at first but after a while it was really not good. There ain't a wide variety of grapples and submissions really suck! The graphics are alright nothing to get up and shout about. The music sounds like they got it out of an x rated and they didn't like grunt or anything when they got hurt. The ladder macthes and stuff sucked because they coudn't do much with their weapons like in smackdown shut your mouth. Hell in a Cell was alright but you couldn't throw them off or wipe their face on the steal. The titles could't change hands in a exibition either. there was no blood or any actual pain showing. The only part I liked were the entrances. Especially trish and stacy's. All I know is wrestlemania 19 will make up for it. For short... THIS GAME SUCKS!!!!!!

i thought it was good, but i was wrong!!! |
| shawn kahan from solon,ohio says (6/Aug/2003): |
first of all i am sorry to all of you that listened to my last review thats because i was young and stupid, but let me tell u what i think of the game now! this is the worst wrestling game ever, the only good things are the entrances and creating a superstar.if you have played def jam vendetta then you would be saying this game should be like wrestlemania because it has more grapple moves and it has a frickin story mode(its pretty relistic, it looks so real, and you get to choose your path). OH!! and be sure to playwrestlemania xix because it will be the best wrestling game ever for gamecube(i can't explain how the game is because i havn't played it, but please try to tell me what its like if you get the chance to play it!). well as mankind always says "have a nice day."

Great game with settle but noticable flaws |
| Travis Clay from Newark, Ohio-USA says (12/Jun/2002): |
This game was highly anticipated and it seems it was rushed out of programming. This is a button masher dream come true. It is arcade style action with very realistic graphics. But, hello, what the hell happened with the sound? The NWO music is embarrassing while Booker T's entrance theme is downright hilarious. And let us not forgot the corny background music playing during a match. Also no season mode, although there is a difficult "Path of Champions" mode but still not a season. Create a Wrestler is very in depth, there is a bunch of extras to add the wrestlers not on the roster... even Maven! Overall this can keep you entertained with its multiple game modes and selections of wrestlers but I think it leaves a void for the fans fom the N64 No Mercy days.

Not as good as No Mercy but still prety damn good |
| Hammer from Omaha,Nebraska,USA says (14/Jun/2002): |
The gameplay is fantastic and the controls are excellent. They could do better with the create a wrestler but other than that this game is everything I expected it to be and more. I'll still be a hardcore No Mercy fan, being that it's the best wrestling out so far but who knows what the future has in store for wrestling games. Think of it this way for those of you who don't like this game, its ten times better than Legends of Wrestling for both the GameCube & Xbox!!. The only thing that disappoints me about this game is that there is no story mode that lets you get drawn into the real life wrestling, I'd like to be able to get rivals and injure someone so they'd be out for a week and actually control who I fight and who i make partnerships with.

Haha! Can we say Garbage? |
| Adam from PA, USA says (13/Jun/2002): |
Man, I was SO let down with this game! Yea, sure..it's great that the NWO and WCW/ECW invasion is there....but what the heck, like five or six of the members of the WCW/ECW invasion are there!! Now I don't know about anyone else...but the creat-a-wrestler is horrible! You have about 5 faces to choose from...which are dumb looking, no good outfits for the wrestlers and you can't even give them enterance attire like sunglasses and crap! I mean create-a-wrestler is the thing I love MOST about the wrestling games! THQ, Yukes, Nintendo, VINCE come on now, we know you people can do better that this...the only good that came outta this game is the enterances, other than that it's trash, so wrestling fans, save your $50 and get something worth buying!!

The best Gamecube game available. |
| Zac Muller (a.k.a. RVD's #1 fan!) from Great Falls, Montana says (13/Jul/2002): |
Today I went and bought a Gamecube. Along with it I purchased several games including WWE Wrestlemania X8. I was blown away by it and I'll tell you why. The entrances are perfect, with the exception of some of the wrestlers' music not being correct.The graphics are the best in any wrestling game. There is a wide variety of characters but there should've been more. I mean how does Jaqcueline get in the game before Billy, Chuck, or even Spike Dudley? There are a wide variety of matches and the characters seem to take actual damage unlike other games. The worst thing for me was the weapons, it took me forever to learn how to use them. So if you are planning on getting a Gamecube or already have one, be sure to pick up this great game.

If you say Wrestlemania X8 kicks @ss give me a hell yeah!!!! |
| A die hard wrestling fan from NY, U.S.A says (24/Jan/2003): |
where to begin i dunno where to start it's such a sweet game. Ok for starters The graphics and sound are amazing. There so much to do u got hell ina cell, tlc, etc. A kick < remove me > at ss roster. The battle of the belts mode is awesome. Gameplay Rocks!!!!. I stunnered flair through the top of the cell and gave lance storm a 3d through the table. There so much to do. The rumble isn't that hard once you played more than once it's easy. Now since that outta the way all those people who said this game suxs or said raw is better I will personally come to each and evryone of your houses and beat u silly, and that's all i got 2 say bout that SUCKA!!!! if any of people need help with the game or got questions just e-mail i'll help u out.

the best wwe game, bigger than the immortal pay-per-view wrestlemania x8 |
| shawn kahan from solon, ohio says (24/Jun/2002): |
If you are a big wwe fan than this game will stun you. This game has the greatest graphics and sound. It has the best matches like hell and the cell, ladder match, hardcore, tlc, ect. the bad thing about the game is jim ross and jerry the king lawler dosen't talk, but you can see them trying to talk, kind of funny. Also, the wrestler don't talk and there is no road to the titles, but there is a battle to the belt, and finally, you can not go back-stage. This game is still awsome anyway. You must buy this game, it is worth buying it. Plus, there are secret characters in this game like, ryno, vince mcmahn,raven, and ric flair. All you have to do is just beat all the belts and you win. So if you like wwe, go buy it.

I think I'll wait for the next game. |
| Cam Stauffer from Strathmore (Alberta) Canada says (8/Dec/2002): |
Alright, the graphics are good. The wrestlers kind of look real. The music isn't bad except for the bad version of 'Live For The Moment' by Monster Magnet for the Hardyz. The rest of the music wasn't bad. But the CAW was pathetic. WWF Attitude had better and more detailed modes. The story line (Which is the only reason I buy wrestling games)is not even there. They should have done some sort of mix of Smackdown and No Mercy. Some other lame things were: No stables, Small Roster, 4 wrestler limit in ring, and the royal rumble mode where it is almost impossible to eliminate someone. I am just going to sit back and wait for a newer one to come out and prey that the put some sort of effort into it.

Rental only, at best! |
| Ryan from Warren, RI says (20/Sep/2002): |
This game stinks! What I expected was a wrestling game that dominated all previously released wrestling games on any platform. What I played was a pile of crap! It's not the worst game. The worst game I played was Wrestlemania for the original NES back in the 80's. The graphics are ok..kinda looks like those of "Legends of Wrestling" that was released not to long ago. Contol/Gameplay? Terrible. Even the Playstation Smackdown was better than that. If you want a top of the line wrestling game, and if you don't have these already, go out and buy an N64 system with these two wrestling games: WWF No Mercy and WCW/nWo Revenge!!! I strongly recommend that you rent Wrestlemania X8 first.

Decent at best |
| Jeff from Torrington, USA says (13/Jun/2002): |
Being an avid wrestling and video game fan I can say that this wasn't the wait. I own both XBox and Game Cube and have to say that both were not worth it to me. I loved WWF No Mercy and expected this to be good, and was sorta let down. First, I couldn't wait to make myself and use the nWo's theme but was very let down when I found that it wasn't the real one. Gameplay is quick but seems like it was made quick for those who are just casual fans of both the WWE and gamers. Where is Ric Flair? Where is Rhyno? Raven? Tommy Dreamer? good music? a decent career mode? Where is Stacey Keibler? Come on THQ. Come on Vinny Mac. Come on Nintendo, give us something to work with here.

This game needs some inprovement |
| Idrees from Miami,FL USA says (21/Jul/2003): |
i think this is decent. it lacked story lines and more chracters and arenas.i wish many more wrestlers were on it would make it more fun. wwf no mercy for n64 was much better than wrestlemania which is for gamecube. i hope they make a game like no mercy for gamecube. I CANT WAIT FOR A NEW GAME THAT WILL COME OT BECAUSE WRESTLEMAINIA WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT. i was looking forward for this game but onece i played it, it became very boring. i unlocked everything which took like a week and then the game became very boring. i heard that wrestlemania 19 was coming out but im not sure if that will be a disappoint ment as well. to conclude wrestlemania x8 was a big disappointment.

Good Ol' J.R. would call this game a slobber knocker |
| Steve from Marcy, NY says (16/Apr/2003): |
This is a great game. I've had it for about 6 months now and I am still loving it. The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen, far better that Smackdown Shut your mouth. The sound is cool, I like how the music changes when you are in the championship match. The entrances for each superstar is original and cool and I love how there are originals for if you want to create a superstar. This game is seriously a ton of fun and I could play this all day. The value of this game I would say is still around $49.95. The only thing that this game was lacking was a story line mode, also more things to unlock would have been great. All in all this game is a slobber knocker.

they could have done better |
| A gamer says (19/Aug/2004): |
first of all almost all of the superstars on the game don't have their original special! for instance when is the last time any body see trish stratus do the sweet chin music? u should only have that move if shawn michaels is gonna be on the game.and since when did stacy keibler have the fame-asser u should only have that move if billy gunn is gonna be on the game.and i never seen stephanie Mcmahon do the pedigree{what the hell}.u cant have a guest referee match like no mercy. and a wwe game is not the same without a bra and panties match.another flipped up part about this game is you cant even make a person bleed. u cant hit em with chairs,poles,tables,ladders,a

really a great game |
| stewy the gamer from Ottawa,Illinois says (9/Jul/2002): |
this game is great not much for create a wrestler but i didnt care cause i dont create wrestlers. If ya dont like the moves fore the people then feel free to change them. The matches were good i would think if they were getting that creative with the matches hten the should have put guest Ref. king of the ring and elimination tag matches. as for the people that are in there i couldnt belive the they didnt put DDP Billy N Chuck or Jazz after all she was the womens champ but i guess that dont matter since that belt aint even in there. When HHH entered i was kinda mad with the entrances they have it was kinda decent. All in All it was a pretty damn good game
|
the game is not that bad for the first thq game for gamecube |
| slick a.g from canada says (1/Oct/2002): |
The game is ok for the first thq game but i think that the wwe fans that own gamecube deserve a good wrestling game with season mode more features for create a wrestler more moves. real theme music backstages more options more new talents like brock lesnar and chair moves more weapons.corner finishers crowd chants for example for kurt angle [you suck] more details and more realistic moves commentary more outfits for create a wrestler and create a taunt like in smackdown 3 just bring it and more stuff but i heard that wwe wrestlemania x9 is coming for the gamecube and i know thq like to improve stuff so we are going to have to wait and see

Please dont waste your money like i did |
| Jawone Ray from Detroit Mi USA says (27/Jun/2002): |
Now i ahve been a gaming and wrestling fan since i was 4 and i must say that if you wanna play the best wrestling game on the market,pick up No Mercy for N64 or the old Wrestlefest on Arcade, but this game which i have already broken was the biggest waste of 50 ever, i mean come on they dont have all the wrestlers themes and if you listen to Booker T's theme here's how it goes "dum dum doom dum doom dum" that is hillarious to me. There is no career mode which flat out kills the replay value and the worst thing of all is the lack of strong and weak grapple moves, i mean every wrestler has 5 moves. God what a waste of good hard earned cash
|
In my opinion, HORRIBLE! |
| josh from Edmonton, Canada says (6/Jul/2002): |
A couple of days ago, I rented Wrestlemania X8 for Gamecube. I thought it was going to be awesome. However, it wasn't. When i put the game in, i quickly went to the create-a-player mode. It sucked. After that, i went to listen to the entrance music. The music of the NWO, booker T, hardyz, and trish made me laugh!!. And the music wasn't just the only flaw of the game. There was no career mode or story mode of the game. And each wrestler only had like 5 moves! No mercy beats this game by a long shot. Even Wrestlemania 2000, Attitude, and Warzone are even better. Yukes and THQ, you need to make some big improvements to your wrestling games.
|
Yeah |
| FlameBlazon from Richmond, VA says (19/Feb/2003): |
Wrestlemania X8 is a decent game, and I sure did have a lot of fun with it. First of all, you can easily move from/block grab holds, and punching and kicking techniques. What I'm waiting for now is Gamecube's newest WWE title, called WWE Crush Hour, I read the reviews and it seemed pretty nice. Wrestlemania X8 is for hardcore wrestling gamers, and nothing more. The graphics are nice, and there's just a lot to do, graphics alone doesn't make a game a good game. WWF No Mercy was better than Wrestlemania X8, there was a good creating mode, and a storyline. Most of the time it took me an hour just to create someone on No Mercy!!

not too bad, 90% good |
| Mohamed Nasser from Brooklyn, NY in the USA says (20/Feb/2004): |
In this WWE game, the only stars that had good Entrance themes were Chris Beniot, even if liked his 2003 one better, Kane,
Undertaker,Albert, Scotty, Kurt Angle, APA, Regal even if I hate, Rikishi, Stone Cold, nWo, & Rikishi. this game is 90% OK, and the Rest is awful, I did team up Angle & Beniot, & Kane & Undertaker, those are the two bestest teams I think. By the Way I made Rikishi the Heavyweight Champion after HHH,I do like every areana expect the Raw arena, by the I have trouble unlocking the Royal Rumble 2001 arena, one ? is that do I have to beat the Royal Rumble in one-player mode in Exhibition to unlock this arena?
