Pro wrestling, on the other hand, is something to be visually enjoyed - much like a circus stunt show or movie. With baseball, football or other sports, you dream about taking part in the action as you watch. Now, regardless of whether or not you believe pro wrestling is fake, you have to admit that watching the zaniness being played out on the mat is probably more fun than a moving video version of a wrestler on a game screen. The problem lies in the fact that actual pro wrestling is more of a show than a sport. On the contrary, Absolute Entertainment's versions of pro wrestling for the Atari 26 are well-designed and playable as is Konami's coin-op The Main Event. And it hasn't been entirely the fault of the software.

For the past couple of years, professional wrestling hasn't fared well as a video game in the arcade or on home-computer and video-game systems. I'm sure you've seen a professional wrestling match, those spectacles where some of the craziest things happen - and I'm not talking about the wrestling.

On these terms, and in view of the price, it's not too bad a game, though now I would hesitate to say even a wwf fan would love it to bits.

Before each bout there is a completely pointless 'taunting' session and then the fight itself starts. there ain't a lot of game here: five levels if you like. Fights consist of one five minute round with victory going to the first fighter to pin the other down for three seconds.Īlternatively you can compete for the belt which involves fighting your way past five 'of the toughest and meanest wrestlers in the wwf'. Ultimate Warrior and British Bulldog, if you're interested) and a limited range of fighting moves. In practice mode it's a two player beat 'em-up with a choice of three wrestlers (Hulk Hogan. Wrestlemania isn't as appalling as all that, and as a budget game is fairly reasonable. What I actually said was if you liked wwf you'd love this to bits. 'What tosser wrote that?' I cried, flicking through some back issues. If you see this game in the shops you'll notice the quote: 'You'll love it to bits' from the late and much lamented Zero magazine. This review is something of a penance for me.
