Let me just start off by saying that No Mercy was the last great wrestling game...
MY WRESTLEMANIA REVIEW
Presentation:
6.5
X8 features a huge roster of wrestlers, but just where the hell is the licensed music? Oh, and accurate entraces would of been nice too!
Graphics:
7.0
WrestleMania X8 falls between Smackdown! and Raw. The graphics are simply so-so (hey, a category Raw actually beats X8 in).
Sound:
3.0
The music and sound effects in X8 will make your insides screech. A word of advice would be to play this game on mute.
Gameplay:
5.0
WrestleMania X8 is a sort of disappointing hybrid between Smackdown! and the reversal maneuvers from the N64.
Lasting Appeal:
5.0
The "Path of Champion" mode is only worthwhile until you've successfully unlocked all 42 wrestlers. After that it's time to pull up a chair with three of your best friends.
My Overall Score:
6.0
AKI should have developed X8!
