Summary

Legends of Wrestling throws the greatest wrestlers into one game to find out who is the true king of kings. Wrestling superstars, including Hulk Hogan, Bret "Hitman" Hart, and Jerry "The King" Lawler, step back into the ring to deliver more body slams, piledrivers, and powerbombs to the competition. Play as authentic professional wrestlers or create your own legendary fighter, and then travel around the world to battle for wrestling's top titles. Legends of Wrestling also features customizable ring attire and new wrestler entrances.

6 2

Legends of Wrestling is one of the few major wrestling games made independently, without backing from major brands, but it falls short compared to its competitors. Despite being released on PlayStation 2, it still uses CDs instead of DVDs and relies on the D-Pad rather than analog controls, which makes the gameplay feel a bit outdated and limited.

Positives:

Inclusion of legendary wrestling icons

Variety of match types

Creative character creation mode

Negatives:

Poor graphics and rough animations

Low-quality entrances

Difficult and sometimes unresponsive controls, lacking proper tutorials and ineffective even with the manual

Rating: 5.7 out of 10
