WWE WrestleMania XIX for GameCube captures the spectacle of the WWE's biggest stage with solid wrestling gameplay and surprisingly deep customization options. While it lacks the polish and robust features of its Smackdown! siblings, WrestleMania XIX delivers an arcade-style wrestling experience with vibrant wrestler models and exciting match types. The Revenge mode, though bizarre in concept, offers some unique challenges if you're willing to overlook its oddities. Fans of classic WWE will find a fun, if flawed, wrestling throwback in this title.
You won't spend much time in the ring here. What this often overlooked entry in the vast sea of WWE games offers instead is a violent crusade against Vince McMahon's sports entertainment empire in the form of "Revenge Mode" in which you pick your superstar, promptly get FIIIIIIIIRED and with the aide of Stephanie McMahon, set about ruining the biggest event of the year by... murdering security guards and construction workers, of course! Sure, it might say "Eliminated" when you take someone out but with the heights you're tossing people from off of cranes above the sea and the blood curdling screams that accompany it , you'll know in your heart that those poor bastards are being sent to their untimely graves to REST. IN. PEEEEEAAAAACE!
The regular gameplay of this is fun, but oh my GOD. The Revenge mode is one of the most infuriating game modes i've ever played. Its not hard in a fun way, its 3 on 1 tedium especially on the parking lot levels. I couldn't take it, I got about halfway through it and the final 2 levels on the parking lot broke me. Gameplay is fun, but I feel like i'd rather just play day of reckoning story mode instead.
Kinda getting depressed thinking about how I don’t have a copy of this game anymore! This is around the time WWE had its best roster and the games were over-the-top fun.
Am I playing WWE or Def Jam Fight For New York
Things you can do to Vince McMahon in this game:
•Throw them into oncoming traffic
•Throw them off a shipping cell into the miserable cold waters of the harbor, hopefully infested with starved tiger sharks.
•Smash them over the head with a wooden chair that splinters into nothingness from the sheer force of the hit.
•DDT them onto a concrete block that again disintegrates to atoms upon impact.
•Dudley Death Drop them through a limousine.
•Swanton Bomb them from 50 stories in the air.
•...and so much more if you possess a creative mind!
I'm not hate-filled, what are you talking about? I'm simply selling you on playing this awesome game!!!
