Rumble Roses just doesn't deliver in any department other than sexual motivation to purchase the game
User Rating: 4.5 | Rumble Roses PS2
First let me go on the record to say that I love chicks and I love wrestling. When I heard that Konami was making an all femalewrestling game, I could not wait for it, two of my favorite things combined in one game. But then the day of reckoning came and the game was released, gamespot give it poor reviews and I put that game on hold. But one faithful day I saw the game in my game store and it was calling my name...giving into my urges I purchased the game, and regretted it when I got home. Do not buy this game! The Graphics is the strongest point in this game, everyone of the players are perfectly detailed and rendered properly, the background is very sharp and well detailed also but that's about it. This game simply looks good. Like an attractive woman, it must look good to get an audiance, and this game delivers visual wise, but that's the only department it excels in. The Sound is also good, each of the characters (which is not very many) has thair own individual song to open them into the arena, but during the fights they say various things that are annoying, very annoying and irrelevant. The story mode also has voice acting which carries the mode okay, in the sound department. The sound, sound effects, voices and music were okay in the game, not great, but okay. This is where the game suffers. The modes avaliable in the game are Exhibition Mode, which is made up of only normal matches, mud matches and title matches, there is NO other modes in exhibition, no table, no ladder, no tag team etc & Story mode. The story mode is also sexually oriented, the camera angles often focus on the breast and buttocks areas in cut scenes, and there are a lot of breast and butt shots throughout the entire game. The story mode is so stupidly funny, it was as if it was intentionally made to be a joke, often you would find one player making fun of another player's anatomy & this starts a fight. However this may be the place you will spending most of your time if you would like to unlock some of the other players and the alternative outfits, which show off a lot of skin and like I said before reveal the butt and breast areas. Don't be fooled this game has no nudity however. The combat system is very simple, this is no smackdown game, a new born baby can understand it. The moves are also very simple and limited for every player. Simple grapples, simple strikes, that's it & it gets repetitive after your first fight. One thing over and over again, who likes repetitive games? There are no Create A Player mode nor is there any way to Edit the Player's Moves like in the WWE series. All in all the gameplay sucks big time. Having something that looks good doesn't always mean it's going to be good. If you want a quality wrestling game go pick up any of the WWE Smackdown series, because those games excel in this genre. Rumble Roses just doesn't deliver in any department other than sexual motivation to purchase the game. Do not make the mistake and buy this game. It's not worth it.
