When Acclaim lost the extremely lucrative rights to produce the official WWF game, the company invested in the WCW license--which promptly went bankrupt. Without another recognizable federation to back, Acclaim produced this game featuring ex-wrestling stars. Legends of Wrestling's presentation lacks the polished sheen of WWF SmackDown. Character selection and in-between bout screens are basic and static affairs. This lack of polish is highlighted by the prebout introductions, in which the wrestlers high-five nonexistent crowd members on the way down to the ring, where they inexplicably pause until the next loading sequence kicks in.
Once you get into the ring, though, the game has a much more solid feel. But it comes at a price: the slow-paced action. Plus, the computer AI can be poor as it often ignores chances to finish off defenseless opponents. Despite this, there is enjoyment to be had. Fights with three or four wrestlers are fun, but as with most games of this genre, multiplayer is where this game takes off: it supports up to five players with a PS2 Multitap. A simple career mode and unlockable wrestlers add to the package, along with the simple joy of smashing chairs over your opponents' heads.
Legends of Wrestling does push the genre in the right direction with interesting additions such as a counter gauge that enables you to evade attacks with a well-timed button press. If you're not put off by its slow nature and basic look, it's an enjoyable alternative to SmackDown. --Jonathan Winter

1.0 out of 5 stars
Very slow and very boring,

Legends of Wrestling is not worth it at all. The game is very slow, the graphics are sub par but considering that this game is on the PS2 and XBOX, the graphics are mediocre at best. Also the gaemplay and control is awful. With fighting games like Tekken 4, MK Deadly Alliance and wrestling games like Smackdown SYM, this series really doesn't stand a chance because these games are faster, have better controls and the gameplay and replay value is great. I won't deny L of W has a lot of great names in it like George "The Animal" Steele, Hulk Hogan, "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka and more but still, the names in this game can't hold the game up. If there was any indication that this was going to be a bad wrest;ong game, the fact that it's released by Akklaim and as most of you remember that Akklain also had the unfortunate mishaps of having their name attached to their last wrestling games WWF Attitude and ECW Hardcore Revolution. Honestly, Akklain lost the license to release games for a reason and there are 2 right there. Skip this one and if you're looking for a good wrestling game, check out the Smackdown series because you'll enjoy that much more.

Legends does not live up to past Acclaim games,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Legends Of Wrestling (Video Game)
Legends of Wrestling is a pretty good game since the roster has some superstars that you will know (Hulk, RVD, Bret Hart, and a few others). The gameplay is pretty slow because the controls are not like WWF SmackDown!. It is hard to reverse moves done by other wrestlers. The move list is hard to figure out you have press buttons over and over again. The graphics are like EA's WCW games. THe modes in the game are few think WCW Mayhem (CAreer,Exhibition, Tage, Special Referee, Tournment, Create a wrestler). It's like WWF Attitude you play career and tournment mode to unlock hidden wrestlers. There is no commentary like in WWf Attitude, You can get weapons in any match and use them in the ring. I hope that LOW 2 is better than the first when it comes out. I will save up for the game if the reviews are good.

Great game if you take the time to learn it.,

This game is great, but you have to learn the controls and all that each character is capable of doing. I played this game for at least a month straight compared to 1 day for Smackdown. If you want a game where you only have 3 or 4 moves in each situation, get Smackdown. If you want a game where dozens of moves are available if you know how to do them, this is the game. The booklet with the game is very brief. You definitely will need the strategy guide but it is worth it.Can't wait for Legends II!!!
