WWE Road to WrestleMania X8

The two channels, Raw and SmackDown, seem to be familiar to those who love free wrestling. And WWE Road to Wrestlemania has been developed by Toy Head-Quarters, to become a simulation game on GBA devices. It promises to bring entertainment moments with 24 famous wrestlers, based on the real season. Do you recognize champion Steve Austin? Triple H, X-Pac, Hardy Boyz, Kurt Angle, or William Regal? All are in the hot arena, in which you fight for the championship belt.

The game has many features for you to experience. It includes the season and career mode. In it, just choose one of your favorite warriors to enter the fight. First of all, I will mention the season. It is organized annually and has many different categories, such as weight category, level, and hardest is aggregation. The organization mechanism is quite simple as it is divided into single loops. The winner of each round will be entitled to advance, and this means that the best wrestlers will stay last.

In terms of gameplay, it is similar to Bam Pro Wrestling and works as the core of this game. It focuses on harnessing the wrestling techniques of each character. Every time the battle begins, the two opponents step onto the stage with gauges of health and speed, fully charged. Time will be counted, and two elements can be given to measure: either achieve high scores through the use of good techniques or create attacks and make enemies fall to the floor so they cannot stand up anymore.
Each character is quite well simulated. Not only about appearance but also the potentialities are quite similar. Some have a good health condition, but weak in speed. Others might be good at attacking, but frail in health. Therefore, they do create a balance as well as diversity. However, what I find lacking is the character creation feature since it will probably create more satisfaction for players. But not so that attractiveness is reduced. The developer has added a few other modes besides five main championship titles in tournaments. Among them, the most challenging is the Gauntlet. In this mode, players will be taken to the ring with more than just one opponent. But that is not all the difficulties need to be faced, when the rules have been loosened so everyone can use their own weapons. Can a deer survive the bloodthirsty beasts to win?
