It's a bit rough around the edges in the gameplay department but it does have a bit of a nostalgic charm to it. The roster is limited to fifteen wrestlers which is a disappointment, but understandable considering the time and the hardware.
There are a few different modes to try out, but the only one resembling anything of a story mode is called Championship mode, where you essentially work one match a month from Wrestlemania X7 to Wrestlemania X8, winning championships but not really having anything to show for them. Of course for this playthrough I picked Big Sexy Kevin Nash.
Gameplay is simple but that's a strength. You strike, grapple, irish whip, pin and that's pretty much it. Striking is a pain because it's not a quick motion, and its easy to fall behind .2 seconds versus the computer and it feels like once you're being attacked, it's a trap that can be difficult to get out of.
Presentation wise the came looks fine, but the best part is the chiptune wrestling themes. Some of these genuinely made me smile.
Overall not something I'd recommend, but maybe if I had this back in 2002 I would've enjoyed it enough.
