Dying for a wrestling game

[jt45]

Guys I've been on a huge wrestling kick for several weeks now, and I am dying to play a wrestling game. Problem is, I've gotten rid of all my systems with the exception of the 360. What decent wrestlign games are available on the 360? Is Rumble Roses any good? Is that my only choice? Are there any decent games that are on the backward compatible list? Thanks for your help.

Rumble Roses XX is the only one for the 360 and Raw 2 is the only one on the BC list. Other than trying to unlock things I like Rumble Roses XX.

I actually didn't think Raw2 was that bad. I'd probably go with that until Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 comes out. Nice avatar, by the way. LOL

Re: Dying for a wrestling game

that's odd... you would think the latest WM game would be BC before a Raw 2 game was...

Re: Dying for a wrestling game

Well Raw 2 was ok and not complete crap so that might have something to do with it.

Thanks. I didn't realize until after I put it up that it looks like Bobby is taking a dump, but I decided to stick with it.

Raw was pretty close to complete crap. The inifinite pinning issue and climbing the cage issue were two huge problems that killed this game for me. WM was no better.

I finally got a PSP and SvR 2006 and I'm loving it. It's much better than the last Smackdown game I played (HCTP), and I liked HCTP a lot until I got sick of the hyper speed gameplay.

Re: Dying for a wrestling game

im terribly disappointed that only wrestling game is going to be SD vs RAW. The SD series is still too fast and arcadey and its a cop out to me for thq to just port the game instead of getting a quality developer for xbox 360

[WTF]

Re: Dying for a wrestling game

But at this point, I don't care. At least you know that the SD titles usually aren't plagued with game killing bugs... that's all the xbox guys have gotten for the past few years.

Especially how it takes damn near 7 minutes just to get into a match in season mode, Monk....

I'll stick with the Import GBA Wrestlers for portable fun and with the PS2 Imports, No Mercy on N-64 and DOR2 for my American fix.

Re: Dying for a wrestling game

heck just skip the cut scenes lol i'm having a blast. i didnt know they added sliders to the mix. anybody mess with them much? and the action doesnt seem as fast paced as past versions have.

Re: Dying for a wrestling game

The action is defintely slower, which is the best thing they could do to the game. DOR2 has been collecting dust since I got SvR on the PSP.

The load times aren't that bad either. I only play season mode in order to unlock attribute points. If you want to play a quick exhibition match, it does not take 7 minutes to start one.

Re: Dying for a wrestling game

any sites that have any cheat codes to unlock everything in sd vs raw 06?
