I'll give it a 7/10, I'm more fond of the later wrestling games like Shut Your Mouth/HCTP

I'd give it a 6. Primal was better for me, but I think I'm alone on that front. The soundtrack and the atmosphere was top notch, something about it kinda washed over me though, like I'm indifferent to it.

Holy shit, what a throwback. I had that game, and I remember really loving it at one point. 8/10 for the nostalgia.

WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth

Closer to a 7, but I'll give it an 8 for being essentially the dry run for Here Comes The Pain, the greatest wrestling game of all time. Pretty sure I heard Marilyn Manson for the first time there too.

Manhunt is a game that could've only existed in the 2000s. It's got the vibe and aesthetic of that Cage film 8MM, where he's investigating a snuff film. You turn on the TV and see Jack Bauer torturing somebody, go to the theater and watch people attempt to escape death traps in SAW, stay for the double feature and watch the Jackass crew self harm for two hours.

As for the actual game, I find the controls rather clunky, and the camera. Once you settle in, it's a solid 8 experience. Oddly slow and methodical for such a violent game, it's unlike any other.

An 8. Fast paced, fun to control. The camera always bothered me though.

Next game is a bit of a deep cut, don't see it talked about much. I was glad to see Punisher posted, damn fine game.
