Simpsons Wrestling Classic Game Review

[narlingz]

lol at the beginning the n and s in simpsoNS was covered be a cloud

[MonoGrinded]

This was a really shitty game, but It's still fun!

[Woreyel]

@MonoGrinded at age 11 which was the age that I played it, i thought it was great, because an 11 year old, only knows 3 moves, that's all they want. lol but for an 18 year old maybe, yeah, too basic..

[Masterofrandomvideos]

I liked this game!

[YoUrMoMsRiGhThErE]

this graphics were great for its time, wtf is this mofo talking about. this review sucks cojones..

[UmJammerSully]

This is nitpicking but... "Final Fantasy Ex"? Are you serious? It's a roman numeral. >_<

[mastercross1]

this brings back memories!!

[EpicNintendoNinja]

this review sucks dragon ballz ..

[IHateMovieCrap]

There have been many playstation games before this game that looked way better than this (like Final Fantasy 7 and Metal Gear Solid).

In other words, the reviewer should have compared this playstation game's graphics to better looking playstation games before it.

[nellAynoT]

what'd you want from PS1 dude? look at Perfect Dark - the game was released in 2002, but it has n64 graphics, because it IS on n64! or you wanna say God of War has crap graphics as it was released when 360 came out?

[MyMonkeyExploded]

Wow, this game looked fucking beautiful for the actual console it came out on.

[wweseanv1]

This game was amazing! I played it all the time.

[DarkStyle0163]

Maybe if they put this on PS2 back then it would have been better.

[TheTyaptyap]

shut up.

this game ROCKS

[manurock4ever]

What  was the ending off the game and who was the final boss?

just wondering

[FilMarck]

Back then I loved this game, and sure as hell, I'd do too now if I still had it.

This is a PS1 game not a PS2, so don't expect graphics to be any better.

[aydooknow]

it was fun. and FFX is THE SHIT!

[Sandokan4]

I liked it

[KronoFett]

The game is fun

You are a loser if you care so much about graphics

I used to play this with my family and friends. Rules are no Flanders/kang and kodos

It was a solid game and I always used to play as Professor Frink.

Also Simpsons road rage was fun as well

[howincrediblyshit]

What is the opening music ? It will frustrate me until i find it! Peter and the Wolf?

[MrWamboldt]

Nice ending it sucks monkey nuts

[RsSatnav]

I used to love this...

[Thisismytrollingface]

I loved this game when I was a kid...

[alteye1]

well i liked it...

[MrMixer108]

@BAWK0 huh?.....i dont get it...

[JayDee284]

@BAWK0 fuck you in the ass shit head

[MrMixer108]

Only reason people are saying this game is bad is cuz it got bad reviews. Don't listen to the critics. This was my fave video game when I was a kid. It was so fun!!!

[smallvile1992]

It has alot more replay value than Road Rage.

[JayDee284]

man I played this back in the day and liked it I was a stupid kid man this game is garbage

[HyperGolem]

Graphics don't make the game.

[southparkfan200]

this game did not suck i loved playing this when i was like 8 years old

[JayDee284]

@southparkfan200 play it now and you'll see it has not aged well 

[joepearcee]

navgtr

[Barrymit]

AVGN should've reviewed this along with Bart VS The World and Bart VS the Space Mutants.

[anton1990]

"Krang and Krodos"?!

[aczumel]

I think it's still sad you left screwattack :(. good review though

[airguitardemon]

Comparisons are poor, but even comparing it with the likes of WWF Attitude and the original Smackdown, this game sucked. Thing is, a lot of people bought it just because it was the Simpsons, but that doesn't mean much nowadays.

[iTubeYourDadsMinge]

Comparing PSOne graphics to PS2 and XBOX?

Dude, you're a poor gaming critic.

[HeroicNerd]

This game was pretty bad.

[haydenconnor]

this game can't be horrible

[biljr]

comparing a ps1 game with ps2 games just because they came out in the same year.... 

[Zontar82]

gta 3,halo??this guy is comparing a psone game to ps2 and xbox?this review sucks monkey balls..

[DekarServerbot]

@Zontar82 because he is applying merchandising lvl 3: copy something seen many times and success

[shomosnicholas5]

i know thats zelda but what version of the song is that?

[Endlessrape]

I wish people played video games before reviewing them, or at least knew something about video games in the first place, but oh well.

[123SIXX123]

You compared Psone graphics to PS2 and XBOX

[NGMan62]

@123SIXX123 Tekken 3 was the PS1's graphics at its fullest and is almost 6th gen quality.

[FERCHOLIGHT]

lol at 2:35 haha

[AdamTheEskimo]

i thought this was a fun game in my opinion

[VIBoBoIV]

I accualy Loved this game

[BreakDownsTV]

I thought it was good but playing it now makes me sick

[J4CKB0I]

this game is amazing

[iiAFX]

Some of you guys must have bad taste in games, this game is HORRIBLE.

[thecarreyman2323]

I liked this game. It may not have been that good, but it wasnt as bad as The Simpsons Game

[bomtenho]

thegameheroes? more like theshameheroes, this game was hella funny, go suck a dick.

[Assiman]

@bomtenho

No. Seriously, this game was terrible

[MercerCreations]

I liked this game.. :S

[Cybershell13]

"The Game Heroes" can seriously suck my cock, what a bunch of retards.

[gamerzndplayerz]

this game kicked ARSE - i always played a groundkeeper willie .... loved setting those bear traps.!!!!

[crazypirategrandma]

I loved this game. I thought it was really good, but I was really young when I played it, so I probably didn't see all the flaws.

[InsaneBreakdown]

i want this back lool

[samuel7897]

omg i remember my friend coming over and letting me play this in grade 2/3 it was awsome!

[Poonard]

i think review people are sometimes just trying to be cool....this game looks fun!

[SomeFluffer64]

Even though the game's graphics are bad, you gotta give them credit for trying to do cel-shading on PS1.

[Kingofeurope]

Crash Team Racing is AWESOME. It's even as good as Mario Kart. Oh yeah, I went there.

[SomeFluffer64]

@Kingofeurope I disagree.

[BlueStar72]

*slaps you for calling Final Fantasy 10 "Final Fantasy X"*

Beyond that, nice review.

[bowlchamp411]

this game was asome why did they guy say it sucked

[ragemishima]

@bowlchamp411 Because it sucked.

[Pawnbroker00]

Lol.. this game is amazing. I dont hae a fucking clue why they say this ballocks. The cheapness makes it epic ^^

[TheForgottenFridge]

when it came out, when i was like 7. it was the best game in the world to me

[Swarnawahini]

AVGN ROCKS

[TheTaylorJohnson1]

Can u play as the alien?

[dwmitch]

Graphics-wise those are unfair comparisons. When I saw the first few videos I thought the graphics were crap, but when I realized that it was for the 32 bit Playstation and Direct X 8 era PC it was mind blowing.

Back in that day pixel shaders were rarely used on the PC and on a system that, as far as I know, didn't even support pixel shaders cell shading was usually done through a hack, and this is one of the best results I've seen given the system.

[ItsVagTastic]

i loved this game

[GodBlessedVideo]

And ps2, don't forget

[ZoanBlade90]

A good Simpsons game exists. It is simply called The Simpsons Game for PS3,DS,360,and I think Wii.

[clamclones]

nice review

[f8j3jn]

yeah this game was great

[findlay27]

O_o you guys hated it? Back when I used to have this game, I thought it was amazing! I played it at my friends house, when you have other people to play it with, there IS replay value, I loved the music of particular stages such at the the stage Vs Mr Burns. This game brought back some memories and t hose some good memories. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, personally I thought this was a great game.

As for the graphics, c'mon, it's the PS1! It's not as if it could match next gen then

[SoaringManatee]

@findlay27 dude it was terrible, are you kidding? the moves had no point to them, the graphics are horrible, the collision detect is horrible...I wouldn't buy it for $1

[findlay27]

@SoaringManatee I would buy this game nowadays for £5 because of it's age. But do you seriously expect games from back then to be spot on? The aim of this game was to be fun, this review bashes on is how cheap, difficult or basic the game is. Yes, these are all true, but you're missing what makes games like these FUN! They're supposed to be played with friends. If you lack any taste in humour,of course you're going to review this like it were CoD.

PROFESSOR FRINK MIRROR'S FTW!!... *ahem*

[SoaringManatee]

@findlay27 no I'm not review it like it was cod, but there were older games that were WAY better than this, this game was just lazily made by fox because wrestling shows were popular at the time.

[LeonSKennedy828]

One thing though, GTA III, Halo and FFX were all on more powerful systems so of course their graphics would be better.

[LeonSKennedy828]

The game is terrible :/ I even hated it back in the day.

[petradog409]

man this game was the shit.

[leniman123]

I remember wanting to buy this game back at the time. just before I was about to buy it some guy came and told me he highly recommends on buying Crash Bandicoot 2 so I bought it instead. does that mean I did the right thing?

[MrBackwarding]

the 1st one is bette, but you did the right thing 0_o

[MrBackwarding]

better*

[RobDFrizzle]

Oh man i wish i still had this game. I used to be so pissed when I was little becuase my brother would be Flanders and made a bunch of books fly around

[Maztuhmind]

wow...the reviewer sounds just like stuttering craig.

[n00bito]

I guess it's Handsome Tom

[ultimatekeez]

This isn't playing on my ps2, anyone else with this problem?

[ultimatekeez]

I actually liked this game as a kid, mainly because i was a Simpsons nut first and a wrestling nut second.

Anyone know where to download the music for it?

[MrChadWarden]

lol this game sold 1.51 million that means people love shity games

[JayDee284]

No it means people don't read Reviews

[glasgowsteven]

nah people just get tricked because they see a name like simpsons and they think col a game for the simpsons buy and issapiontment

[Barrymit]

"The gameplay is complete poop!" LOL!

[cookoftheday99]

i loved this game!!!!!!!

it was one of my favorite games ever!!

so for the people who say its bad

screw you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its better then your game

[waterland16]

i'm so gonna get this on psp

[JayDee284]

wants wrong with you this game is shit!

[JayDee284]

so you think street fighter 2 is worst than this shit u r an idiot

[cookoftheday99]

yes

[Betorockmetal]

100% agree, The Simpson's Arcade game is better than this shit.

[rayblack2004]

it was PS one

[leonel1993]

good review, but you are really ripping off ScrewAttack Video Game Vault reviews.

Still. good review, I agree 100%

[alexalexm0]

This game is horrible...

[Gamewhiz321]

i actually liked this game

[Barrymit]

At 0.52, that looks like an ass in the background.

[mfctom300]

I bought this game from BlockBusters and the bar code was wrong so got it cheaper!

This was amazing i thought for PS1 eventhough it was 2001!

[oliver88r]

bastered you have no idea how wrong you are when i read the revews they sead it kicked ass and to start you of on how wrong you are the graphics its fair because it was the playstayshon one i dont whont to say any more but the fact is your wrong this game rocked

fuck you

[CheezMonsterCrazy]

playstayshon?

[waterland16]

1 actually

[Flowmasta]

lmao flanders

[wolfwriterRodger]

The Simpson's Arcade game is awesome! I go to this arcade in a restaurant and play it whenever I can.

[BigHHHfan]

that game was awsome

[CraZyCoN500]

hey, this game isnt awfal...i vd this game, put thumbs down idc...it was fun, and mad, like CTR...yes it has a few problems but name 1 game that hasnt...all in all it was gd...now Simpsons skatebording was awful

[jodetert]

0_0??????????

[sadoldfucker]

CTR?

[CraZyCoN500]

Crash Team Racing

[Justsmoke42O]

lol you cant compare crash team racing and this game...crash team racing was an actual good game...

[CraZyCoN500]

so was this game

[Justsmoke42O]

This game was garbage.

Watch the review or read any review ever produced of this game.

[vivianvoltage]

@Justsmoke42O yeah CTR kicked ass, in some ways it was better than mario kart because you could use misle launchers and nitro.

[sw3d3nlol]

ha the monky sucks balls

[conradojavier]

OMG! Ned goes "the Gill"(SF3)

[Barrymit]

I actually had this game. But I hated it so much, that I sold it to a friend of mine

[ohargreaves]

Not to an enemy?

[Barrymit]

No. My friend is the only person on this planet who actually likes it.

[lolmetaknight]

NO!

this game is awesome >=[

[Shadsilvson11]

At least the Simpsons had Hit and Run.

[Pikachu4Prezident]

This game actually looks interesting to me.

Critics can be quite harsh; if there's a crappy game you want to go bash, please let it be a truly bad one like Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 or Superman 64.

Playing the game first before bestowing your general impression is always a good way to go. In short, I think this game actually looks fun. Frick the IGN review: whether we want to like it or not is up to us.

Also, the Celeb. Deathmatch game sucks? Didn't know that.

[Eliteuk33]

fuck u that game is awesome

[actionfigures95]

looks fun

[darris5000]

i have it and i am going to get rid of it

[DudeNehh]

if they made a second one now it would be alot better and there r no huge releses to hold it back yet

[Titolin86]

It wouldnt be better, they will add more graphics and thats it..

[breeeegs]

It was fun when I was 9

[ZionProwler]

As a Simpson's game, it sucks.

As a wrestling game, it sucks.

Overall, you get the idea; It's Garbage!

[hellspit2003]

comparing this game to final fantasy x is just wrong. it dosent even belong in the same sentance as final fantasy x or halo.

[marsharse]

why did tom compare a PS1 games graphics to games that were on xbox and PS2?

[VideoGameMaster360]

Cause it came out around the same time.

[marsharse]

yeah it may have came out at the same time but its still the weaker system its really like comparing the PS2 games graphics now to the ones on the PS3.

[Mysterious0Bob]

@marsharse Because he's shit at reviewing games. Thats why.

[marsharse]

@Mysterious0Bob I find it hilarious a year later somebody replied to a rhetorical question lol. Thank you though he is pretty shit at reviewing games.

[MultiKonsolero2]

Final Fantasy EKS??! That's a roman ten! *facepalm*

[dwmitch]

@MultiKonsolero2 True, but with the introduction of FFX-2 a lot of people decided to refer to it as the letter, as opposed to the illogical Final Fantasy 10 2.

[sikokiller12]

i consider this game to be the corniest game ive ever played in my life.. i didn't buy it i just hired it to see if its any good first..

[hall9111]

Hey! Dont be so hard on the newest simpsons game! I thought it was well writen and funny just like the show! The gameplay was at least adequate and the controls were ok. The camera was a problem but it didn't ruin the game for me. It's just my opinion though. To each his/her own

[VideoGameMaster360]

The simpsons suck now, That game was poorly writen.

[ColinRayko]

No the thing is that after 20 years we all know the jokes and style of humor so well its hard to hit us as hard but the new generation of kids love it The new episode are great to them because they don't know it as well

[TheHillsHaveEyeBrows]

we bought this as a goodbye present for a foreign exchange student from france and we felt so bad once we'd played it later XD

[harrisonhedges]

i remember playing this game and enjoying it

[linxter360]

i hated this

[ImJust1Joe]

This game suck but fortunately the new Simpsons game for the 360 is actually pretty good.

[Chatetris]

How can you comepare the graphics?!?!?! This game was for playstaion PLAYSTAION A 32 BIT GAMING SYSTEM

[wolftj42]

well, how about Castlevania Symphony of the night....that looks a million times better and it came out in 97. This is a comparison of what was available, they could have easily spent extra time and made it for xbox/ps2.

[TheHillsHaveEyeBrows]

32 bit? WHAT? you have no idea what you're talking about, the n64 was 64 bit, and the playstation ran on DISCS! bits dont apply X(

[dwmitch]

@TheHillsHaveEyeBrows From the technical specs I found via google:

CPU * R3000A 32bit RISC chip @ 33.8mhz - Manufactured by LSI Logic Corp. * Clearing capacity: 30 MIPS  * Bus bandwidth: 132 Mb/sec

The bits in this case would refer to the processor, as the color depth was 16.7 million colors, or 24 bit color.

[CloudDouche]

this game was good. THIS REVIEW SUCKS!

[Mileenasman]

Did you even play that game?

[ScreamingPixel]

Pro wrestling on the nes was more complex then this game.

[Lobos222]

The latest one sucked as well. Got it for PSP and the control where horrible. It looked okay, but it was repetitive and boring.

There hasnt been a good console only Simpsons game, I think.

[underqwerty]

The control was horrible because you bought it on PSP. ;)

[lepton27]

he bough it on ps1

[underqwerty]

I was replying to Lobos222

[Lobos222]

I get the joke, but most good games after God of War haven not have bad controls.

But to be honest I use the PSP most for downloaded movies on the train to work :P.

[RebelMotivePictures]

I guess you can say it sucks diddly?

[survivor104]

I remember going to toys r us with my dad when I was younger, and I had to choose between this and Sonic adventure 2 for the dreamcast. I think I made the right choice.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

...and what does the developer do after making Simpsons Wrestling?

They used the same frickin' engine to make a Celebrity Deathmatch game, which is just as terrible!

Will they never learn?

[survivor104]

Really? I saw that on your guys top 10 worst t.v. liscenses on xleague. (which rocked by the way.) but if that was the case, how come celebrity deathmatch was on the list and not this?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

You saw it on Xleagues website or their TV channel?

Celebrity Deathmatch is worse, and we also forgot abotu this.

[survivor104]

The website. I don't live in Britain.

[trailerboy415]

I liked this when I was 6....WHY?!?

[evannailoveyou1991]

LOL Stupid Flanders
