There are a lot of buttons required to operate Wrestling Revolution 3D, so the game naturally suffers a similar, fumbling fate to all virtual joypad-driven titles.Īlongside the movement controls, you’re given attack, grapple, run, pick-up, and taunt buttons to pull off the huge number of traditional, balletic wrestling moves. If this was a passive sequence, you'd simply skip it, but taking control makes it unexpectedly entertaining. It might not sound like great gameplay, but it's surprising how it helps to build anticipation for the match. You take control of your wrestler as he makes his way out to the ropes and canvas, and help him to strut his stuff once he's in the spotlight. Whether you're a face or a heel, nothing matters in wrestling unless the crowd is going nuts, and we don't really care if it's cheers or jeers.īuilding your reputation outside the ring is as important as showing off inside of it. Yes, it's a fighting game, but it's every bit as much of a character management challenge.īefore the manly grappling even begins, you're required to make a suitably grandiose entrance. We don't actually want to say that this is first and foremost a wrestling/fighting game, because every aspect of Wrestling Revolution 3D is seamlessly blended with all the others. Wrestling Revolution 3D accomplishes this so well, you don't even notice that it's distracting you with drama. It's a dazzling firework show of extravagance and hero worship, and any game that can harness the gaudy, extreme, sheer entertainment value has nailed the concept of an actual wrestling simulator. What you’d need to consider is that wrestling - the wrestling you see on TV, with stadiums full of Americans and rings full of gigantic pantomime dames - is more than grappling and throws. Let's say you want to make a wrestling game that's as close to the real thing as possible.
