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One fun thing about War Zone is how overly out of date it was.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.
