kendal mint cake Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Now then girls, my laptop is with god now (Steve Jobs) so I have a distinct lack of Fire Pro in my life. I'm going to have to remedy this with some xbox related action. Now, I was a big fan of the smackdown series (and, believe it or not, a worthwhile contributor to the smackdown 2 hacking scene) up until HCTP. After that console wrestling became dogshit. Â With that in mind, what's the best slice of wrestling I can find on the 360? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted September 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 Unfortunatly, all you can do is get a cheap PS2, and get Fire Pro G. There is nothing on the Xbox wrestling wise, and the Avatart starring version of Fire Pro that is coming later his year looks shite. Â Sad, but true.

Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted September 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 You don't really have much of a selection to choose from, Kendal. Just the yearly editions of the WWE series, the TNA game, or the (really shit, but only a quid) indie game Action Arcade Wrestling on the marketplace. Â Â Â Last years SVR was quality, so that, but you might be as well getting the new one that'll be out within the next two months. Depends how desperate you are to play a wrestling game. Last years will be going cheap now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shovanist Pig Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Â Surely that would work on the 360? Â Â Any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted September 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 I actually quite like WM21, or rather I like aspects of it. The animation is excellent, the control system usable, but the moves are a little unbalanced. The reversal system is actually really good. It's well worth a bash if you can pick it up cheap.

stingersplash Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 wrestlemania 21 im sure is one that isnt compatible on the 360. Â good wrestling games havent been around since the ps1/early ps2 days of just smackdown games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 WrestleMania 21 was two or three years ahead of the WWE on making the product look much too glossy and drowned in too many pools of light. Horrible game, I thought. The one thing it did do well as pointed out were the animations. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was the first of the WWE games to use motion capture? Still, a huge step down from Raw 2 which was actually quite fun with decent gameplay, one of the best create a wrestler features I can remember and captured the whole 2003 feel of the company spot on. In wasn't a bad year for the games, actually. Here Comes The Pain was the PS2 game that year and the GameCube got WrestleMania XIX which was the one with the bizarre story mode where you had to beat the shit out of the backstage crew because Vince bought them off as hired goons or something. Nothing like delivering F5 after F5 to grip technicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'd go with All Stars for now, then WWE 12 comes out in a couple of months. If you want an immediate fix of a simulation with a large roster and lots of modes though, All Stars isn't for you and I'd get Smackdown vs Raw 2011 instead.

Matt360 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I really did go off the yearly Smackdown Games after playing 2007 and realising, 'This is the same shit as last year' and didn't play one until 2009. Which again just confirmed it was the same shit, different year. But I had the craving to play a wrestling game about a week ago, so I bought Smackdown Vs. Raw 2011, and I'm honestly really enjoying it. I've downloaded British wrestlers from the Community Creations, and some TNA/Impact Wrestling guys such as AJ Styles, Kurt Angle etc. And I'm having a lot of fun playing with the new WWE Universe feature on it... I may be bored of it in a week or two, but right now I have no regrets on buying it, which is strange for me and a wrestling game. Â Go buy it! I downloaded the Monday Nitro Arena as well... It's fucking awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Reading that review it doesn't play anything like what most FPW fans expect. I'll prob give it a go though. Should be out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
