It seems that there's a conspiracy afoot in the WWF! All of the other wrestlers have conspired against you, kidnapped Stephanie McMahon, and stolen the WWF Heavyweight Title belt. Choose to play as the Rock, Triple H, the Undertaker, or Stone Cold Steve Austin in this story-based wrestling game. You'll roam the streets, taking down thugs and seeking out valuable information along your journey to redemption. There'll be plenty of objects to pick up and throw, scenery to destroy, and havoc to wreak, but the only weapons you'll be given are your own bare fists and a solid pair of boots. Other weapons (steel pipes, cakes, and mailboxes) are available, though you'll have to defeat a few foes to earn them. Tons of power-ups are strewn throughout the game, but you'll be lucky if you can free up the time and energy to get to them. Awesome graphics, tough boss characters, and a great story make this one unique wrestling title.

Not that there's anything wrong with it as a game, it's a pretty simple beat em-up where you mash A to punch and B to kick, double tap the d-pad to run, all things you're probably somewhat familiar with. The issue is that there's really nothing more to it than that.
There's some WWF/E flavor to it of course, but I really thought they should've had more of it. If you replaced the WWF playable guys with generic playable characters and Vince McMahon with a generic villain not much would be different, as the most common sights of this game will be Steve Austin punching random fat guys dressed as Luigi and Undertaker getting the timing of the gas coming out of pipes just right so that he can pass through.
What WWF Betrayal seems to be is a quick cash grab for developer WayForward while banking on a property that was very relevant at the time. While there's nothing wrong with that, it gives this game very little reason to be played by anybody that isn't such an insane wrestling fan that they will even play a mediocre Game Boy Color beat em up that offers pretty much no replayability. It's a shame, because a wrestling-themed beat em up sounds like a really fun idea.
