WCW vs NWO: World Tour
Reviewed by Brian Nerrie
Graphics 7 out of 10
The graphics in this game were overall above average, but there were
things lacking. For example, the backgrounds were semi-clear but on the
whole fairly blurry. I could not make out one fan from another and most
of them were just standing there with little difference between them.
THQ could have put a lot more detail into it. But of course the only people
that look at the backgrounds are the ones that regularly get the mess beat
out of them and have nothing better to do. The wrestlers on the other
hand were extremely detailed. You can easily see the paint on Sting's face
and the blood on Eric Bishoff when my friends and I play beat up the
long-haired queer. I feel that this tremendously makes up for the
lackluster fan animations.
Music and Sound 8 out of 10
Personally I think that the sound plays no factor in a game unless it
is baby Mario crying. This philosophy plays true in this game also, but
it is still nice to hear your fist pound against Rey Mysterio, Jr. The
soundtrack pumps out nice wrasslin' tunes that get you into the
game but you shouldn't be listening to that anyway.
Game Play-Fun 10 out of 10
I'll just say it right now, a must have for wrestling fans, a must
have for non-wrestling fans. This game is probably the best one on
the Nintendo 64 right now. You get to be all your favorite wrestlers,
and beat up all of your non-favorites (such as the aforementioned Eric
Bishoff). This game has many modes and will keep you occupied for very
long amounts of time. Beating all the leagues is fairly simple, but it is
not the main play mode on this game. That would have to be battle royal.
This is where you and three friends get to be in the ring and battle it
out for supremacy. The ultimate party game.
Overall 8.5 out of 10
