WWE Legends of Wrestlemania Preview

[RaychelSnr]

The '09 year appears to have a special treat in store for wrestling-game fans, or does it?

This March, THQ will unveil the first of two WWE titles for the '09 calendar year, WWE Legends of Wrestlemania. The release will come right before Wrestlemania XXV, and will feature a (currently unannounced) roster of classic WWE superstars. Apart from being an obvious marketing vehicle for the Wrestlemania pay-per-view itself, LoW will likely appeal to those older wrestling fans, as it will be laced with an intoxicating dose of nostalgia.

As always, *sniff* I am not important enough to have gotten a hands-on sneak peek at what WWE LoW has to offer. However, having bludgeoned myself with online research, I am prepared to present you with the preliminary details, as well as my always-cynical opinions and speculations.

You hit the nail right on the head, Will! I completely agree with you. The SD! series has been terrible since 2006 and I have NOT bought the game since '06. I'm very big on creating a wrestler and going through my own story mode. Not some glorified exhibition mode called "Career Mode". The commentary should have been done by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse Ventura. I was totally surprised to see the Ultimate Warrior in the game but I still don't see the Macho Man in the game because of his falling out with Vince. That a big void right there because Savage plays a huge role in the history of Mania. Anyone that doesn't want to relive the greatness of Savage/Steamboat has to be a fool.

I'm glad that the face buttons as action buttons are back. That right analog BS HAS TO GO! Whereas 07 gave you a choice between classic controls and new controls, 08 & 09 leave you with no choice at all. Which is nonsense. Eliminating a person's choice can turn off many people. The SD! series has become stale and it shows. Sales for the 09 version was 22% lower than last year's.

if it has a caw it then this game could be great. cause whatever legends aren't in it u could create. i'm wondering what type of matches they will have? it would be cool if it has the match types like smackdown vrs raw.

[swiftychampleone]

I know that Gorilla Monsoon is dead. Since when does that stop the use of technology to integrate his voice in a game?

SD has NOT bben 'terrible'(swifty) the last few years..It just has not progressed with other sports games.....This 'game' should have just been part of SD, or $20 of DC.....As it is, RIPOFF!

i agree macho man should def me in this game, i mean true savage and vince have and drama and thats prolly why hes not in the game but vince and warrior have had drama . i mean didnt warrior have a lawsuit against wwe and wasnt the warrior the one at summerslam when he teamed with hogan to go against the iron sheik and slaughter and their manager.. didnt warrior point a GUN at vince in the lockerroom because he wanted more money for the match and he got it? point is if warrior can be in this game macho man randy savage should def be in this game because he def has more history the the ultimate warrior or as sg slaughter once said and i qoute the ultimate puke LOL
