Customer Reviews

looks fun but really isn't
this game is something that looks attractive from the outset but the game play is shocking. th only good things are:
1)Settings can provoke different attacks from things like irish whips.
2)Finishing moves look quite spectacular and the graphics look good then.

but for these are the only plus points.apart from that it is shocking as basically once you put a move in you win because it is almost impossible to reverse anything. No contrast in the matches and playing multiplayer is pointless because the winner is just the person who puts the first move in. Although it looks tempting and harmless fun it isn't SO DON'T BUY IT!!

don't PLAY this at home!
smackdown is a good wrestling game, backyard wrestling is not!
wcw on the n64 is a good wrestling game, backyard wrestling is not!
this game really should be good, you can pick up all manner of weapons to batter you opponents with, you can throw them off of roofs, you can light matresses on fire and chuck your oponents into them, but nothing feels good, nothing goes as planned, the controls are poor, the blocking and combat system is poor, the levels are pretty poor aswell, i've played plenty of games in my time (since the days of the commodore 64) and beleive me i know a BAD game, if you have an interest in backyard wrestling or just like wrestling on the tele don't be fooled, i know this looks quite cool but it is rubbish. with it's moon pysics when you jump off something you go ten foot up in the air first, you can't really do alot with the weapons, and when you do get a chance to hit someone with a weapon it breaks.

Could be better, but just enough foe some.
I got BYW on my birthday, and i didn't know to take it back or not. I didn't. I opened and played and at first the smacking over heads with pipes and chocking with chains was quite good. But after you complete the game and unlock all the wresstlers, the novelty weres off. It is a welcome waiter for smackdown 6 like.
