Also is it just me or does the color of the game change/get brighter when you do some kind of move?

Yeah I noticed that, I think it's just there to emphasize the move. I actually liked it. It only happened on certain moves and was infrequent.

Is there a create a wrestler in this game?

Yes,no female or manager option though.

Am I the only one here who wishes that AKI was still the developer for WWE games???

People ask for it all the time. I always thought they were overrated. Not bad just not as good as everyone seems to think they remember. I'd rather have Spike take over as dev if THQ goes under.

So I just played the demo (haven't read all the responses thus far, sorry). All I have to say is: I hate F'n button mashing. That is all it takes for me to not like the game. This is the 21st century with a PS3/360. I should not have to button mash. EVER!

Yeah, I understand they want an 'old school' feel, but that shouldn't mean 'old school' (read: crappy, inferior*) controls. Sometimes I wonder if the developers are actually gamers.

What does old school feel have to do with button mashing? You can not even button mash in this game and get good results.

I take it that if you do not like this game you must really not like the Smackdown series. Could you please explain what it is that you do not like in more detail? I find the game fun and entertaining, it is also different in its execution than other wrestling games. Regular moves, chain moves, finishing moves, turnbuckle moves, apron moves, outside ring moves, special moves plus finishing moves, meaningful taunts and 3 tiers. What do you not like the control mechanics?

You need to play it more than an hour and understand how the controls are meant to work. It is not a button masher by any means. There are countless people on gaming sites who dismissed the game when they started playing for a little bit and then found out they loved it when they understood how the controls worked after awhile.

Re: WWE Legends of WrestleMania Demo Available, Impressions Here

Firstly, I do not discuss anything with people, online or not, who are condescending, so quit telling me that I'm not doing it correctly. Secondly, yes, you do mash buttons to make your wrestling stand up and for some of the mini games (some grapples and submissions). This is the 21st century. I'm not going to do that. Otherwise, the controls don't bother me (as assumed, and you know what assuming does, which it did).

Yeah, I'll play it a bit more, but I don't see myself liking the button mashing. I only button mash when I play old games, and that is due to nostalgia (WWF Raw on SNES...oh I love that Royal Rumble).

You can hold a button down to get up?

If you do not like the game then move on already, no need for the multiple negative post for a game you do not like apparently.

I only made my first post to give my impressions. I was unaware this thread was only for positive impressions. I'm not going to sugar coat what I think for you or anyone else. I will still play the demo a few more times, but the button mashing will be enough to ruin the game for me.
I made the second post to set people straight who called me out as a liar (you are one of them). Next time, keep your posts factual and I won't have to come back.

EDIT: Apologies from me. After playing again, I tried just holding the button down to get up, and it does work. The animation in the corner, to me, looked like it wanted me to mash the buttons (and I did not see anything in the tutorial about it). However, it still requires button mashing for some submissions and grapples. I still don't like that part, but I'll play a little more to see what I think.

No need for attitude, we on the internet man.

If you throw the cpu in the corner, double tap A(I think), then tap one of the face buttons just as the screen flashes you can do turnbuckle moves too.

Some guy over at the Gamespot forums got a copy of the game because apparently they are selling it over at is military base (posted a picture with the game to prove it so it's legit) and he's showing achievements already unlocked on his gamer tag.

Apparently some of the RRR moments are locked at the beginning and you may not be able to do all of relive, rewrite and redefine all the WM matches. HITC and cage matches are only used for the WM matches, (hopefully they can be unlocked becaus that would be a downer) and he can't find any unlockable characters. They might still be hidden somewhere.

Nothing about multiple skill levels mentioned which will be a gamekiler for me. One kinda cool thing is that the DX wardrobe for HBK and Triple H are included as is the theme song.

The guys at GamingRing have the game, and one is reporting that their are custom sliders, ie SVR. That is a relief for me, we should be able to customize the game to make it more challenging.


Although it'll probably be like SVR where the sliders didn't affect RTW, I'm guessing the sliders won't affect RRR.

That is a relief because the demo has become pretty easy for me and I was thinking that if the Rock\Austin relive was as hard as it gets then this game would get old fast.

I haven't played a SVR game in a long time, what are the sliders like? What can you change?

The RRR thing doesn't really interest me that much anyways but if this game can have online with no lag like SF4 then I could play it a long time. Even the slightest lag will ruin it because of those button sequences.

Here's a video on YouTube of all the options menus for LOWM. It shows all the sliders and such.

As long as the sliders work, it looks like the difficulty is fully customizable
