Get Smacked Down by a legend soon
As if a playable demo wasn’t exciting enough for all you wrestling fans, yesterday it was announced exactly who the Legend roster will consist of. For some, it may not be a surprise, but nonetheless it’s nice to know! And if that’s not enough, there are new images too!
- Bam Bam Bigelow
- Hulk Hogan
- Roddy Piper
- Bret Hart
- Jerry Lawler
- Shane McMahon
- Cactus Jack
- Jim Neidhart
- Steve Austin
- Dude Love
- Mankind
- Tazz
- Dusty Rhodes
- Mr. Perfect
- Eddie Guerrero
- The Rock
I’m not a huge wrestling fan, however I know enough to know that it is great of them to include Eddie Guerrero, since he passed away almost a year ago. Obviously The Rock and Austin are no surprises; they were the first wrestlers people used to name whenever you so much as muttered “wrestling”. Certainly, The Rock’s catchphrase “Just Bring It” was often heard around school playgrounds shortly before a fight ensued. The others you will have to tell me; is it a good line-up? Because I think so.
And despite me not being a major wrestling fan, I have always enjoyed the games that THQ have produced. Having four people in the same room in a Battle Royale was always a good laugh! After playing the demo, it certainly is an all new game this time around. Getting used to the new controls is tough. However, I feel this is a good thing since games before it were all too easy.
If the demo and roster line-up hasn’t satisfied you, then the promised screens are below (there are 36 on the website; I’ve handpicked a couple).
The graphics look excellent in the demo
The game is set for release on the 10th of November in Europe, 14th November in the US, and the 31st of December for Japan.
Thanks to NiteKrawler33 for submitting.
A game that makes EU first before US and Japan?
that’s something to be proud of. :X
Didn’t Saints Row?
nope…it made it into the US 3 days before Europe
Ah OK fair enough. I was on holiday when it was released
I’m new to the smackdown series and have the game on preorder myself. I’m struggling badly with the demo though.
Don’t like the fact that you can ’store’ finishing moves and use them at any time because the AI can just do it out of no where after a solid 10mins of being beaten up. It kills the fun factor.
its good that you can only store one though - the previous ones you could store up to 5 if I remember right
I had it on pre order but dont anymore as the game is proper shit
It’s not that bad, just takes some getting used to I think
Sweet my news did go up there..
Shane McMahon a legend in his own Mind !!!!
