When I first sat down with Legends of Wrestlemania I was excited to get involved in matches with some of my favourite wrestlers from years gone by. It’s fun to see your favourites in pixel form, and the game allows you to recreate/change history in some of the most high profile wrestling matches ever to have taken place.

Legends of Wrestlemania is a bit of fun for nostalgic value, when it comes to the actual quality of the gameplay however the game is seriously let down. The game is just far too easy, and although the simplistic arcade nature of the game may appeal to some; if you’re an experienced gamer looking for a challenge then Legends of Wrestlemania is definitely not going to provide you with that. The graphics are nothing special here, and whilst Legends of Wrestlemania definitely isn’t a bad game; it’s certainly not a very exciting one.

It didn’t take me too long at all to get bored of playing Legends of Wrestlemania, and although it’s nice to be able to play as some of your former wrestling favourites; the novelty of the game is quick to wear off, and the game does little to make you want to keep playing.

If you were a wrestling fan in the eighties/nineties then you’ll probably want to rent Legends of Wrestlemania in order to relive a few happy memories; I wouldn’t recommend investing in the game though as it’s unlikely that you’ll be wanting to play the game for more than a couple of hours. I’ve definitely played worse wrestling games in the past than Legends of Wrestlemania, the arcade style and incredible ease of the game doesn’t sit too well with me at all though, and in terms of gameplay it just doesn’t come anywhere close to matching the quality of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009.

Legends of Wrestlemania is by no means a must have THQ sports title, if you were a fan of wrestling in the eighties/nineties though then playing the game at least once is a definite must.
