    The Extreme Warfare series of games has been considered the premier brand of wrestling simulators for many years, having built up a huge fan base through word-of-mouth. Since its original release in 1995, including the award-winning Extreme Warfare Revenge title released in 2003, the popular Total Extreme Wrestling series, and the off-shoot games Wrestling Spirit: Rookie to Legend in 2004 and its sequel WreSpi2 in 2006, fans have come to expect the most accurate portrayal of the wrestling world from Adam Ryland games.

        Yeah, it's great. Only reason I'm not playing right now is because I'm drunk.

          That shouldn't stop you. Imagine the crazy angles you could come up with.

          I didn't followed this game's development at all; compared to TEW 07, is it worth the money, or just a marginal upgrade?

            When a good real world set gets posted/ported from 07 somebody please post about it here. I can't really play with the fake universe in the game, just doesn't feel right.

            Are there any current real world mods making the rounds for the game yet?

            I bought TEW07 and I'm hoping to try 08 with a good mod for "rosters" angles, and everything.

              I know Grey Dog released a set of pre-release editors to try to get the mods out quicker than before...so if something isn't out yet, it will be rather soon.

              Since I'm not reviewing the game, I can honestly say I think it's probably a pretty solid upgrade with the personality system, new regions and other upgrades. I'm anxious to see what our reviewer gives the game that's for sure

                  I tried that HurryUp database or whatever, and it isn't horrible. It's definitely playable. I'm CWF-MA (yeah, I had to look them up too), with Paul Orndorff(!!) as the owner. My current champions:

                  CWF-MA Champ: Elix Skipper
                  CWF-MA Extreme Challenge Champ: Ron Reis
                  CWF-MA Tag: 8-Bit Duo (Player Uno and Player Dos (Dirty Money))

                  I'm grooming Uno for the top Championship, though. He's a UM, but I'm going to bump him up to the ME scene as soon as I get The Barbarian (who Elix is currently feuding with) out of there. I had Jimmy Valiant, but I quickly debuted "Jonny Valiant", his son, and he's currently feuding with "Jeff Orndorff" (Paul's son). I've got one of the younger Von Erich's too, so that might end up being fun. Kind of like Dusty's son, and now Million Dollar Man's son in WWE. Ron Reis is my monstrosity, he actually fought off like 3 people interfering in his last match to retain his title.

                  This game is so much better than 07, but it's not all huge changes.

                    Do you know/have a pic pack that works with it?

                      There should be one in the HurryUp Thread or whatever it is. It isn't perfect but it's not bad.

                          I've never played this game before but it sounds pretty fun. Can someone explain it to me a little more please? I'm assuming it's a text-based simulation? Thanks.

                            It's a text based sim that simulates being a booker in the wrestling industry. You hire/fire workers, write storylines, etc. You'd be best off reading some of the developer logs at the forums over at GDS, and then trying the demo. It's hard to really explain all of the game. There are a ton of little nuances it has within it.

                              GIGGAS have you tried the 2013 mod yet? its awesome. Some dudes named John Dalton, Tommy Marzilli, Bryan Washington, and of course Harry Smith are just BEASTS in this mod.
