Thoughts?
I prob wont buy it just because I couldnt be bothered to just wrestle as legends, and story mode probably wont be too good, if there is one...

Didnt they have one of these legends games before? Anyone know?

Anyways, post your thoughts if you want.

 

[gamebreaker]

i'll rent it but not buy it when it comes out. if i like it, then i will buy it.
it might be a good game but its probably gonna be like the same thing as the Legends of Wrestling series.

^ As he said Legends of Wrestling was the old 1...All I gotta say is I hope they don't slouch on SvR to work on this Legends game...

This might be good, I'll buy it I mean why not?

I'm already getting bored of Smackdown vs. RAW since they repeat the same thing every year, the tag team and create a moveset thing for 2009 doesn't evoke a lot of excitement in me but Legends of Wrestling might be a classic and there was an older version as well which is good.

They need to release some sort of booking game like Booking Encore or a fully 3D EWR on PS2.

 

[gamebreaker]

i wonder if the tna game will be good.
im looking forward to that one

This could be good, but why not just add a Legends Mode in the SD! Game?

Anyway, TNA Game > Both WWE Games!!

TNA Game > Both WWE Games!!

The TNA game hasn't came out yet... :rotflmao_1:

 

[KroniK 4-2-0]

^You havent came out yet!!

TNA Game will be better than those WWE Games this year

 

[MikeRaw]

^^^The TNA game looks sick. Ill definately buy that. I dont know which will be better, svr09 or TNA but they should both be good.

^You havent came out yet!!

TNA Game will be better than those WWE Games this year

The TNA game looks insane...I just said it hasn't came out yet...by the way nice comeback! :fart:

 

[Evil Austin]

Ill probably rent it see if its ok than if it is good I shall buy it but probably not.

Showdown: Legend of Wrestling is possibly the greatest game ever!

It was the first realistic wrestling game. All your favourte Wrestlers. 4 on 4 matches. Announcer who announces the match, type of match, names Etc... AND YOU CAN ACTUACTLY SEE HIM!!!

 

[jackmcmanus21]

if they make this game with the same engine as the old N64 games...it will be the best wrestling video game ever

 

[Weebo]

Yeah i heard that they have a whole new team to make this game. WWE Legends Of WrestleMania seems like it could be good but untill more information is revealed we really don't know anything about it. Tpo bad it is on ly on te PS3 and 360 and not on the PS2. ause the SVR games still sell like hot cakes on the PS2. But i guess it makes sense cause they want certain things in the game that only a next-gen system can do.

Bigfella, that game was pretty good. But, the controls sucked big time. I never got the controls at all, and plus, took forever to get a freakin' win.
