The controls are simple because that's how they were intended to be. This game is geared towards the old school wrestling fan/gamer who remember wrestling games of old. I've played the demo and I'll take this over SvR'09 any day. This is supposed to be an arcade-style wrestler, not a simulation. With that in mind, I think they succeeded in spades! I'm 31 and have played systems dating back to the old Colecovision and I've watched wrestling since '84. Simplicity + nostalgia.= winning combo!
Very beautiful Rumble right here! Loved it when Andre, Bundy, Yokozuna and Big John were all in the ring together. Talk about some BIG opposition!!! =D
This game looks awesome. All the older guys, thats something I like. Looks like this will be my next purchase. I just want a game where I can use the Ultimate Warrior
Looks very fun. Especially seeing all our favorite oldschool wrestlers going at it. Andre was in there for the longest. ... ..Was hoping to see "the Undertaker" fight in there... Perhaps, he eliminated Andre....
I'm very impressed I hope SVR 2010 can deliver with all these new animations and hard work on Legends of WrestleMania. P.S. Savage and Vince Bury whatever your damn problem is. Tito Santana , Rick Martel, IRS, Barry Windham, and Demolition for next year please THQ.
I wish a wrestling game would allow more wrestlers in a royal rumble. Get rid of the health bars, and make the wrestler stance different, depending where hes hurt, and you can tell when he's weak, instead of a health bar. They keep selling the same product slightly tweaked each year. Most of which you could of been done with patches, expansions they could sell. DLC could include new wrestlers, storylines for story career mode, new match types. It could all be done with DLC instead of a new game
Yea they are probably trying to make it a series so next year expect to see more I would love it personally. So names are personal copyright reason is rumour as to why some arent on the list.
Looks like the match itself is improved quite a bit and the game looks good. Sure there are some oddities like DiBiase's little spin kick, and some commentary errors, but overall looks nice.
I have to say that THQ and Yukes are doing a fantastic job with this game. I love the format and presentation of the Royal Rumble. It's gross in SVR games, but it looks damn realistic and polished here. With cool camera shots, more than one pathetic, unrealistic way to eliminate people, etc. The only thing I want to know is when you are in that position where you are hanging on to the ropes, and you get kicked and eliminated. How do you save yourself from that? Do you have to guess what button?
Yeah fair point, I've only had 2-3 matches on the demo so hardly enough time to get used to it. Honestly I prefer the simple style of TNA though. I guess a few moves in a match to win is more like what wrestling used to be like and a lot less technical than it is now.
Damn, only 3 stars on amazon.. oh well, ultimate warrior, hulk hogan, and classic undertaker are the only three reasons I'm getting this game.. the rest are icing.
You are right man, but how about some from mid 90's too like Razor Ramon, Owen Hart, Goldust, Diesel, Sid, Luger, ahh so many. Also tag teams like the bushwackers, the british bulldogs, Dx, Smoking gunns. Divas too like Ms. Elizabeth, Sherri, Sunni and Sable.
I actually find this game wayyyy more complicated than the smackdown ones. Just take a look at the control list and its about 13 pages long! Just doing a certain move such as running, climbing the turnbuckle or picking up a weapon took me quite a while figure out.
on the fence with this game, the camera is not stable, the controls really needs getting used to after playing smackdown, where is razor ramon, lex Luger, and macho man randy savage? I'll keep playing the demo and hope to like it
I only really like the relive mode in this game but the Rumbles actually a little more fun in this game than Smackdown vs. RAW to ME. Just because these superstars know ho to survive in this match. The COM in SvR gets eliminated in like 5 mins.
Can someone please tell me what button to press when someone is clinging onto the outside ropes ? When I am in the same situation the computer kicks me off in one go! Its so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The game is impressive except its too simplistic i heard, but they should of added these features for 09 it looks like it could make the SvR series better
That's the problem with Smackdown. It only has replay value when you play offline and just messing around with a friend. You can't have a competent, fun match with the A.I. because the game mechanics are shit and basically haven't changed in years, at it's core. Yukes and the Smackdown series are the ea/madden of wrestling games. Laziness and incompetence runs throughout. I agree completely with your "lack of freedom" complaints on LoW. It's just a shallow, nostalgia trip and that a damn shame.
I get you, but is he a WRESTLEMANIA LEGEND? Ya see they should have just made a WWE LEGENDS game instead of Legends of wrestlemania. Idk that's just me.
I don't know how this guy above had 2 neg comments. There goes a positive one. U r down to only one negative. I totally agree with you comment. This HHH gimmick is not a legend. Today's is. Razor and Diesel did more than Hunter. Also, where is the Macho Man?
I like the eliminated cutscene. Nice addition. Not just 'oh, see you later'.
123 kid... isn't he x-pac

the irony in hhh and perfect drawing 1 and 2 is great lol. i wonder how many people recall that?
I agree, can't wait this friday march 20th when the game arrives
when he debuted he was like a rich character and taught manners and shit like that.
Royal rumble seems to be much better than SVRs RR. The gameplay itself looks better from this camera angle than the one in 1vs1 matches
Finally a REAL Royal Rumble... I loved it!
yes he is, he is Hunter Hearst Helmsley
This game looks awesome. All the older guys, thats something I like. Looks like this will be my next purchase. I just want a game where I can use the Ultimate Warrior
Looks very fun. Especially seeing all our favorite oldschool wrestlers going at it.
Andre was in there for the longest. ...

You're kidding, right? I didn't realize Smackdown held any challenge outside of enjoying it for more than a week.
i miss w.w.f. 'cause their ring names were awesome and their specials were cool
i love this game. in my view, this is the best Wrestling game ever

i got an xbox 360 yesterday and this lengends of wrestlemania im fucking addicted to it
Yea they are probably trying to make it a series so next year expect to see more I would love it personally. So names are personal copyright reason is rumour as to why some arent on the list.
4:24 funny how Andre is getting hit back and forth by everyone.
Looks like the match itself is improved quite a bit and the game looks good. Sure there are some oddities like DiBiase's little spin kick, and some commentary errors, but overall looks nice.
he has a point, just rent it.
as a matter of fact its both the 1995 n 1996 royal rumble cuz if u luk both them up they both got the same stage
No matter how bad this game may be, it's still lightyears ahead of that crap TNA game!

This needs to be in svr 2010 so cool looking royal rumble
finally a good looking royal rumble!!!
How could Koko B. Ware possibly survive a teamwork elimination by Andre the Giant and Yokozuna?
Anyway cant wait to play this game!
You are right man, but how about some from mid 90's too like Razor Ramon, Owen Hart, Goldust, Diesel, Sid, Luger, ahh so many.
Also tag teams like the bushwackers, the british bulldogs, Dx, Smoking gunns.
Divas too like Ms. Elizabeth, Sherri, Sunni and Sable.
arrrri cant wait to play this game its gonna be sick bros
i wish randy savage, the nasty boys and demolition were in the game
*fingers crossed for dlc*
this was the 1996 royal rumble ...the one that shawn michaels won for the 2nd time in a row
the royal rumble in this game is much better than in svr 2009
the commentary, graphics and the game looks great i hope to hell they do this for SVR...plz THQ and Yuke's
Uh-oh! Yokozuna! That's it! My money's on him!
Looks awesome
this game is amazing so it has not got a ref big deal i think this is much better than all the other royal rumble s dont u agree?
yes Before he was behaving himself well, was gaining(winner) a fight and was giving his reverence but now it scoffs at the people hahaha
I actually find this game wayyyy more complicated than the smackdown ones. Just take a look at the control list and its about 13 pages long! Just doing a certain move such as running, climbing the turnbuckle or picking up a weapon took me quite a while figure out.
Awesome game
How can u even doubt the Hulkster
wish i had this game
where are the old commentators???
Can you show a vid of what the cage match looks like?
cool that looks better then the royal rumble on svr
on the fence with this game, the camera is not stable, the controls really needs getting used to after playing smackdown, where is razor ramon, lex Luger, and macho man randy savage? I'll keep playing the demo and hope to like it
I wonder if this is the only Royal Rumble arena.
2:57 Vintage Shawn Michaels!
3:50 Vintage Shawn Michaels!
:p Just like he did at the last rumble
iv played the demo, controls take a while to get used to but is a fun game as it is interactive during the moves
the very first rumble "real" from THQ...
be the UNDERTAKER
Which year was this Royal Rumble Arena from?
I thought Andre, Big John Studd, King Kong , and Yokozuna were going to break the ring
RIP Andre
are there no grapple moves in this game or do you just not know what your doing?
"bullcrap"
thanks dude!
does this game have a parking lot brawl?
can u pick the order everyone comes in at?
Uncharted is another that the 360 doesn't have.
LBP Rules anyway.
Vintage DX
now in smackdown vs raw 2010 all they need is to have refs outside the ring and you should be able to go out side and get weapons
how many people can be in the ring at one time?
this is the 1996 royal rumble the one that hbk won 4 the 2nd time in a row luk it up n u"ll see the same stage n everything
request:tag team match
(I'm curious about how it will work)
WHAT A RUSH!!!! RIP HAWK
u bought it?????
personally I don't like mixing eras much...go from 84-90
91 to 95
97-2002
At 2:10, I thought you were playing System of a Down's Vicinity of Obscenity
I only really like the relive mode in this game but the Rumbles actually a little more fun in this game than Smackdown vs. RAW to ME. Just because these superstars know ho to survive in this match. The COM in SvR gets eliminated in like 5 mins.
rapid tapping
Google it, it might be false but i've heard it many time. Vince hates Macho Man
rip mr perfect
can you only punch in the royal rumble
hope its good
Is there online mode royal rumble?
no.. whats the reason?
they don't have the wild samoans in here wtf
How do You Have the Game already
good video though
i cant wait to get it
to me this game would be easier if it had svr 09 controls rather than the ones they use for this game
Can someone please tell me what button to press when someone is clinging onto the outside ropes ? When I am in the same situation the computer kicks me off in one go! Its so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this on the 360
kinda crazy how many of thes guys are dead
The game is impressive except its too simplistic i heard, but they should of added these features for 09 it looks like it could make the SvR series better
Look at DiBiases feets!! ... Now those are one small feet! But this seems pretty cool...
r.i.p. perfect
When in doubt create a wrestler make savage....
for HCTP I made two versions of Savage circa 80s and 90s version
also they left out razor ramon out what the hell, randy savage, 123 kid, diesel, sicho sid and many more
does dis have online???????????
actually SMACKDOWN! just Bring IT had the capability of 8 men in the ring, idont know why they stopped doing that
do you have the old or new ps3
it would be awesome if you could create old school dx
is this for ps2
And HHH is in this game for what reason ??
Is he more Legend than Nash and Ramon???
Hunter Hearst doesn't deserve to be in this
