A while back I picked up the two Aki WWF games for N64, neither of which I had ever played before since I never owned a N64 back when it was current. Both of 'em are great (of course) and led me to get back into the two previous WCW games, then I got the wrestling bug and dug into a few PS1 and arcade wrestling games I hadn't played in years.
Even though I played and enjoyed quite a few games in this genre I haven't played or owned any of them that are even remotely new. With the exception of Fire Pro Returns on PS2 the last wrestling games I bought were NJPW Toukon Retsuden 4 and WWF Royal Rumble on Dreamcast, both of which are damn near 16 years old. Is there anything on a post-Dreamcast console worth playing?
I played a demo of WWE All-Stars which seemed to be alright for an arcade-style game, afterwards I found a used 360 copy of it for $15 and I am currently waiting on it to arrive. I picked up AAA Lucha Libre for $9 digitally on XBL (which as a side note is virtually the *only* digital game I've seen that has the price marked down properly to reflect it's brick and mortar price. There are still 360 launch titles with $30+ digital price tags.) I really, really wanted to like this game but have absolutely zero desire to play it anymore now that I've managed to unlock the entire roster which stupidly had half the characters hidden at the start. Even though I could rant for hours about the flaws in this game I can look over most of them because I really enjoy certain aspects, but the AI is a complete bastard and the counter/reversal system is broken beyond belief due to it.
I've been thinking of picking up Legends of Wrestlemania, which goes extremely cheap, but if my impressions of regular grapples and other stuff being a constant QTE-fest is correct I know I'd hate it. I much prefer an arcade-style game over a pure wrestling sim but QTEs sure ain't my cup of tea.
Anyone have any ideas, either domestic or import? What about even Galactic Wrestling featuring Ultimate MUSCLE on PS2?
