There's simply no other wrestling game like Here Comes The Pain. I have no idea how many hours of this game I've wasted in my childhood and I can feel I'm replicating it in my adulthood because of just how good the game is.
We've seen games like WrestleMania: The Arcade Game that make the sport look cartoony. Meanwhile, there are games on the opposite side of the spectrum like the simulation-based WWE 2K games and the later years of the SmackDown vs. Raw series. HCTP is a sweet, sweet blend right in the middle that makes the wrestlers feel larger-than-life without sacrificing the seriousness in its presentation.
Boasting the coolest roster that still holds up extremely well today alongside a multitude of fun match types and crazy explorable backstage areas, HCTP is truly in a league of its own. I've played a lot of wrestling games through the years and I doubt any of them could even measure up and hold HCTP's jockstrap.
