Paid Members gmoney Posted March 18, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2011 WWF Royal Rumble for the SNES. Â Which game was it where your whole body could end up covered in blood? Attitude? Â I believe so. I was so massively disappointed by that game. I'd built up the career mode so much in my head after reading previews that it there's no way it could deliver. Plus in the time between Warzone and Attitude I'd been playing my mates WCW/NWO Revenge, which was much better than either, so when I finally got it the gameplay felt rank.

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 18, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yeah, Warzone and Attitude were abysmal games compared to WCW/NWO series I got Warzone on release day when I bought an N64, I thought it was great at the time, until I got hold of WCW/NWO... Â I did spunk a little when I figure out how to get HBK in DX attire in Warzone though. That was a great moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Wretch Posted March 18, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2011 Warzone for the PS1 was my first. Don't care what anyone says, it was miles better than Attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair's Divorce Lawyer Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I remember a hand held WCW game with Sting and Arn Anderson on the front... It was really bad, I remember being disappointed in the game play even back then. My first game for a console was Super Wrestlemania for SNES. EDIT: Found a pic...  I had this game to and I think I still have it but the battery has run out. Thought it was odd to have sting and arn in the game.  My first game for a console was the incredible warzone on PS1. The career mode was ace and the grudge match vids were cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyUK Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The first Smackdown game. A mate bought it as soon as it came out and I wasn't into wrestling at the time but had a go, really enjoyed it, started watching it on TV and the rest is history. Now, he has no interest in it and I still watch RAW and Smackdown every week. It's funny how things work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'm surprised at just how many of us in here owe it to the first couple of Smackdown games for getting us into wrestling in the first place. Â Had I not had Smackdown 2 when I did, it's interesting to think whether I'd have still gained such an interest in the WWF. Like you say, it is funny how things work.

Paid Members Ron Simmons Posted March 18, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2011 First wrestling game was Smackdown: Just Bring It. It was the video game series that got me interested in wrestling, oddly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 First one I owned was WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It, but the first one I'd ever played was WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role on the PS1. Cracking game, that. You could defend titles in exhibition mode, create a PPV, create your own wrestler to a ridiculous degree and do a two-player season mode which never ended, unlike the ever-shitty Story mode in JBI. I'll never forget finishing Story mode for the first time and going 'Hmm, it isn't continuing for some reason', before eventually realising that it was because there literally wasn't any more to do. Cack, and a complete epitome of 'first game on a new console' syndrome: i.e. plenty of impressive graphical power but little to no content. Still had a laugh with it, mind.

Â I was a little bit disappointed with Just Bring It, if I'm honest. Like you say, it suffered from being the first game of its series on the new console and was all glitz and little substance. Â I was still riding the coattails of the buzz from Smackdown 2 and was therefore hyped to the rafters upon hearing about JBI coming out. I think it's safe to say that I've never been as hyped for a game coming out as I was whilst waiting for Just Bring It to be released. I'm not saying it was a bad game, it just didn't live up to the high expectations I had of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adorable Adrian Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Pretty sure WWF Attitude on the PS1 was mine. Got me back into wrestling after I skipped the mid 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted March 18, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm not 100% sure of the order I got them, so some candidates are the WrestleMania LCD handheld game, the PC version of Tag Team Wrestling (in colour, so take that Speccy users), and WrestleMania on the PC. Â However, I think the first was Takedown on the PC: Â Â It has EIGHT characters and even has simulated speech. I TAKE YOU TO PIE-CES! I AM IRON-HEAD!

Paid Members tom Posted March 18, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2011 WrestleMania Challenge for the NES. I loved it, but why the fuck did Andre fall out of the ring so often when he couldn't get back in it?  Had this on the NES too. I was young at the time and the NES was actually my brothers. Was never very good at Challenge but it was certainly fun   I remember a hand held WCW game with Sting and Arn Anderson on the front... It was really bad, I remember being disappointed in the game play even back then. My first game for a console was Super Wrestlemania for SNES. EDIT: Found a pic... Had completely forgotten about this until it was posted here, add me to the list of people who had this    Oh my god, I had forgotten all about this too. Add it to the list of games I was never too good at, I don't think I ever completed it  The first SmackDown game I remember from my brothers PS1 and then I think by the time of SmackDown 2 being out I had my own PS1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spotlightmagnet1 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The game that was on the Gameboy. Can't remember the title but I was always Mr. Perfect and you had to fight up past Ted DiBiase, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan.
