Favourite Wrestling Games?

[CraigJarrett]

What are your favourite ever wrestling games?
For me my top 5 (in no order) are

WCW/nWo Revenge (probably on many lists)
WCW Mayhem (not everyone's cup of tea but I spent hours a day playing this as a kid)
Power Move Pro Wrestling (an underrated "strong style" type wrestling game)
WWF Smackdown 2
WCW Rebooked (the Smackdown 2 mod, brilliant)

 

[Yousef Yousef]

Smackdown vs Raw 2009 remains uncontested.

Yeah that and 2007 are good ones. Probably the best of the WWE era in my opinion.

i remember WWF Attitude on ps1 being really fun - spent a lot of time in create a fighter mode

 

[YoshifreakZX]

My top 5 in no particular order are:
Smackdown Here Comes the Pain
Smackdown vs Raw 2006
Smackdown vs Raw 2011
WWF No Mercy
Smackdown Shut Your Mouth

Rumble Roses

 

[StoneColdLiger]

These have all held a special place for me at one point or another, and all hold up pretty well still in my opinion. I really enjoyed the whole Smackdown vs Raw line from the first through 2009. I know TNA might be a hot take, it definitely could have used more content but I LOVE the way the game plays.

Natsume Championship Wrestling
WWF No Mercy
WWE Here Comes The Pain
WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2006
TNA Impact!
WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009
Fire Pro Wrestling World

SATURDAY NIGHT SLAM MASTERS!!!

The Final Fight Engine works wonders for a game like that, if you can play the SNES version, that's for me the best, sadly the 4 player mode is limited to 2 players and two computer players, but overall is still the easiest to grasp, hard to master game of the genre i've played

Day Of Reckoning for the Gamecube NEVER gets enough love. It kind of feels like an overall improvement on what made Here Comes The Pain so good

Also, this fucking song is one of my favorites that's ever been in a game period

Yeah I liked the creation options in WWF Attitude and ECW Anarchy Rulz both by Acclaim I believe

I liked TNA Impact but the ultimate X match and constant reversals got a bit annoying

Oh yeah, that's a fantastic song! (even had it on my Spotify Playlist before I stopped using it), but I remember it more from SVR 05's credits. As for DoR itself, man that's a game I should really play, it looks really good especially for its time.

WWE Smackdown VS Raw

I love this game and it's a must play games if i go to some PS2 rental at those times either i fight my friends or fucking random stranger.

and when i finally got my own PS2 i finally played the campaign, (idk if my playstation can run lol since when my TV got blown off i haven't turn it on ever since).

 

[SamanthaSamantha's icon]

I love RAW on SNES.

It's just incredibly fun to play with a couple of friends.
