Old Beans
I haven't purchased a wrestling video game since the 1990s. I owned a N64 and purchased both WCW vs. nWo: World Tour and WCW/nWo Revenge, and I still own WCW/nWo Revenge and even played it again last year.
I was a pretty big WCW wrestling fan back in the 90s, and I even went to a few wrestling events and met/saw several wrestlers like Chris Jericho, Macho Man, Buff Bagwell, and Bret Hart. A group of friends and I even got to help take down a wrestling ring after a wrestling event in our town, which was pretty cool.
If I ever find/get the old pictures, I may have to scan them in and do another wrestling post!
Filtered Thoughts
While I have not played any version of WWE All-Stars, when I was capturing/uploading the trailers for the game I thought they did a good job showing off the game-play. If you have not seen anything about WWE All-Stars for the Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, or PS2, the video embedded below contains two trailers showing off the game:
As for the reported game-play data, I think it should be encouraging to the developer and publisher of WWE All-Stars on the Wii that game-play data has already debuted. The Wii version does not have any online functionality(that I saw), and I think seeing a game like this debut already is pretty good, especially considering it was a multi-platform release.
The Amazon.com sales rank is a lot lower than I was expecting for this game though, as I was expecting it to at least still be in Amazon.com's "Top 1,000" video games listed, and I didn't find any articles with THQ commenting on if the game has met sales expectations.
Questions
Have any of you played WWE All-Stars, and if so, what do you think about the game? Is it a wrestling game you would recommend to other console owners that perhaps haven't purchased a wrestling game since the 90s, like myself?
Also, have any of you, like me, met any wrestlers at/after a wrestling event? If so, which ones?
