WWF War Zone on N64 captures the bombastic fun of professional wrestling with a decent roster and exciting match types. While the graphics haven't aged well, and the controls can be a bit clunky, it holds a certain nostalgic charm for wrestling fans. However, the lack of atmosphere and repetitive gameplay limit its appeal.
NOT NO MERCY
if you want an accurate representation of bashing action figures together and imagine them fighting, this is it.
Ok gameplay, medium graphics and one of the best character creation mode to date. This game was simple fun, back in the day. The good thing here is the gameplay was not that awful with helps when playing with friends. basic game.
bought this because i knew the n64 wrestling games were good, little did i know there were bad ones too.
It's functional but not fun
The modes and create a wrestler are fun, if slight. But the wrestling is top notch, and that's really what matters. Throw in fun commentary, cheesy wrestler FMVs, and a short but fun "story" mode, and we have ourselves a good ol' fashioned slobberknocker.
it is somewhat playable. barely.
You're not allowed to have MK fatalities tier move list for a game that controls like this
Was only good because there was nothing else better, and now that there is, this game's only use is listening to Ahmed Johnson's promos.
When any longtime wrestling game player thinks of the Acclaim PS1/N64 WWF games they probably only think of two things, the fucking terrible Mortal Kombat-esque inputs for the moves and the hilarious voiceovers from the wrestlers.
One fun thing about War Zone is how overly out of date it was. You think the 2K games these days are bad? This game was released in the middle of 1998, the Montreal Screwjob would've been eight months ago and Bret Hart and Davey Boy Smith are still on the roster. The Rock is also in a weird flux where he's voiced and appears in the FMVs as his boring vanilla babyface character, but has Nation of Domination music and "The Rock" on his trunks.
While this game is stupid I don't think it's too terrible, but when the only thing you have over WCW/nWo World Tour is Mick Foley going "HUH-ZHAH!" then you have some serious fucking problems.
Also why are there no ring ropes in the cage match? What the fuck.

used to tilt the cartridge and make the characters fly around the screen
Hated it.
Gameplay is awful and the commentary and crowd noise get annoying really fast.
The only fun to be had was creating a monstrosity of a wrestler but even that gets old.
