The best thing about WWF Royal Rumble is the fact that up to nine wrestlers can be in ring. It's quite chaotic. It's just fun having nine guys in a closed environment knocking each other around with no slowdown. In the Royal Rumble the ring becomes so cramped that you'll be tearing people apart, slamming one guy into some other fellow and punching another the moment you get up. With four player support, WWF Royal Rumble makes for an entertaining party game. You can customize how many superstars you want to plow through, and knocking one out of the ring adds 20 seconds to your timer and releases another character into the ring. Although WWF Royal Rumble does suffer from a limited roster, the game is pretty good at sending in different wrestlers so you won't find yourself taking on five Kanes each time. The weapon selection is also impressive, and you'll be able to show The Rock just how hard he is by smashing him with a steel staircase. Weapons get damaged as you use them, which is a nice touch. Running over the Undertaker with a shopping cart has a certain charm to it, and watching one of the Hardy Boyz get run over by a car in a parking lot is pretty neat. In the standard tag mode, matches sometimes magically transport the fight to different settings, which is a good idea although not implemented as well as it could be. It does make for a nice change of pace and is something I'd look forward to if the developer would spend more time on fleshing out this concept. First of all, isn't this a Dreamcast game? The characters look like some poor kid's beat-up WWF action figures. There is no facial movement whatsoever, and the bodies just don't look right, remaining motionless even after recoiling from a particularly vicious hit. In fact, they look just like the character models from WWF Attitude, only in higher resolution. Joints stick out, characters animate awkwardly, and the whole thing is just disappointing after playing beautiful fighters such as Dead or Alive 2. Mankind's tie is glued to his shirt, but then that's not surprising since all clothing in the game is basically body paint. The ring and crowd graphics certainly don't tax the system, and Dead or Alive 2 was able to maintain four great looking characters in a far more detailed environment -- all at 60 FPS. WWF Royal Rumble just reeks of a cheap PlayStation port. Picture higher resolution WWF Attitude models and more characters on screen (without slowdown, admittedly), and you'll know what to expect. WWF Royal Rumble is a mediocre effort and use of the license. With only 22 wrestlers and subpar graphics and gameplay, the game should only appeal to desperate Dreamcast owners. Yeah, this is still the best grappler for the US Dreamcast, but that's not saying very much.Read full review
