Game Overview

Featuring over 65 of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, Legends of Wrestling II is like the "Whos Who" of wrestling video games. Ageless icons like Hulk Hogan, Rowdy Roddy Piper and Andre the Giant battle it out in the squared circle for wrestling supremacy. Famous tag-teams of yesteryear return with similar style. Who could forget classic teams like the Nasty Boys, The Road Warriors, Rock-n-Roll Express and more? Little details like character-specific animations and signature theme songs remind you of the good ol days of professional wrestling.

The Bottom Line

Legends of Wrestling II builds upon the retail success of its predecessor and will feature all new match types and more than 65 superstars, including Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Bruno Sammartino, Bret "Hitman" Hart, Sid Vicious, "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner and Jerry "The King" Lawler.

Its different modes, which feature a relatively unique approach, are undermined by the substandard gameplay.

Due to the slower paced action, I would recommend this to people like me who were big fans of WWF Warzone back in the day, and don't care as much for the faster, arcade style gameplay from Jakks Pacific.

We've got old-school wrestlers with no hint of old-school style.
