Even at the time this came out, i found this to be very underwhelming. Wrestlers move about like they're constipated, the weird awkward sound effects, awful controls. I played WWF No Mercy not much long after this, and it sure put this to shame.
At the time of this game's release, it was a decent wrestling game. It had most of the wrestlers of the time in the roster, custom music, the ability to listen to the wrestlers' themes, custom characters, dozens of match options. Its also the last WWF game to have Owen Hart after his untimely death. But looking at it now, it hasn't aged too well. Especially since the Smackdown games exist on the same console this was released in (Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy for the N64 side). One thing I don't like about this game is the number of incoherant inputs the game wants you to pull off just for something as simple as a german suplex. Trying any other input during a grapple will just make your wrestler try to tire your opponent out by stretching out his arms. So most of the time you're awkwardly punching or kicking your opponent. Maybe something good about this game is its the first one with blood and weapons. So you can slap someone with a steel chair until they start bleeding all over their body. But that's abut all the good i can say about this game. Its definitely a relic of the early days of wrestling games, but with the options for each system it was released on, you have better options.
The moment Smackdown came out, this game became obsolete.
Attitude is the second Acclaim game in the quadrilogy of their 3D PS1-N64 era pro wrestling titles.
It's an improvement to War Zone, the roster is larger and a lot less out of date, the wrestlers talk a bit more during the match (it's great) and there's a bunch more customization. This game actually probably had the most customization out of any wrestling game I experienced back in the day. You can even create your own arena, it's not as detailed obviously as the modern 2K games but you can wrestle a match at a PPV with purple lighting and gold ring ropes if you want. You can also edit your match to a pretty impressive degree. Want to wrestle a fatal four-way err... excuse me "war" match with iron man and last man standing rules? Go for it.
Interestingly there were supposed to be a bunch of fictional jobbers you'd be able to beat up at the beginning of the career mode. This is why there's a lot of generic voices and entrance themes available in the CAW mode.
The game still plays like crap compared to WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF would actually start getting AKI developed titles on the N64 not long after this released, but I think these games are still mildly entertaining to boot up once in a while in small doses. I wish more games provided weapons with the audience throwing CRT TVs into the ring.
