Showdown: Legends of Wrestling (PlayStation 2, 2004)

Out of the three Legends Of Wrestling games, this was probably the best one hands down. But just because it was the best one perhaps, doesn't mean it too was perfect in all regards. Everything people have read about the game having glitches is true, it does have them, and it's obvious that Acclaim rushed through putting the fine touches on the game. Unfortunately there still is no Ric Flair on here though, easily one of the most anticipated appearances since finding out the game was going to be made. When he didn't make it on the first one I was sure he would make it on the second one at least, or the third one but he still isn't on here. But to make up for not putting him on here they did make some excellent choices for new legends to put on here like Sting, The Ultimate Warrior, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Ravishing Rick Rude and a few others.

The game play is not perfect on here, but it's far more less clumsy acting than the previous two combined I think. I did like the fact they added some of the most legendary arena's/venues in the history of the wrestling world on here. I think it added a bit of authenticity to the game the other two didn't have in this regard. They have more match types on here too like the Ironman match for instance. But aside from the glitches in the game and still slightly clumsy controls, it's a great game to just play for nostalgic purposes for anyone that grew up watching wrestling through the 70's, 80's and 90's. That's why I respect and like all three Legends Of Wrestling games.

I bought this for my son and he loves it! If you are a big fan on wrestling,then you would enjoys this game. My son and his friends can play this game just about all day!
