  • Review Quotes

    "Only the Relive tour has unique objectives - the other two just have generic ones, such as Perform a Finisher or complete three strong grapple attacks. Given that the developer went to the trouble of compiling footage for every match, how hard would it have been to tailor some unique goals based on the actual event for the player to complete?...The lack of variety in the moves. Watching the Honky Tonk Man perform the same lame leg-punching move as Jake The Snake robs them both of some of their personality."—OXMOXM: WWE Legends of WrestleMania Review (March 20, 2009)

    "Legends is a clunky, sluggish experience, like the SDvR games before it. But the new control scheme is, for me, a change for the better... At the end of the day, though, what's most important is that Legends does exactly what it set out to do, and that's provide a rose-tinted nostalgia trip down 80s and 90s wrestling."—VideoGamer.comVideoGamer.com: WWE Legends of WrestleMania Review (March 17, 2009)

  • About the Game

    WWE Legends of WrestleMania gives players the chance to experience legendary WWE wrestling matches from the 80s and 90s. Relive the feuds and rivalries, the epic victories and devastating losses of more than 40 superstar wrestlers. Each wrestler's fighting style, taunts, grapple moves and signature entrances are realistically recreated. Historically accurate commentary, venue appearance and more are all faithfully reproduced.

    In addition to playing as a legendary wrestler like Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant, the game's Create-A-Legend mode lets players create their own celebrity wrestler of tomorrow. Customize their costumes and create special move sets to give them a distinctive personality.Official Site: WWE Legends of WrestleMania IGN: WWE Legends of WrestleMania

    The main game mode in Legends of WrestleMania has three options: Relive, Rewrite and Redefine. Players can relive historic WrestleMania victories in the first option. Rewrite gives them the opportunity to play as the loser of the match and attempt to change history. Redefine gives players the chance to recreate the match entirely.

    The game plays a little differently than the traditional SmackDown vs. Raw games. Besides simply winning, players are given different objectives during the match, such as "Perform a finisher" or "Perform three strong grapple attacks." This is an attempt to recreate memorable moments in the real-life match the game fight is based on.VideoGamer.com: WWE Legends of WrestleMania Video Review
