WrestleMania X8 Review

[anikid0392]

This game begins the Gamecube wrestling era.....followed by an improved Wrestlemania XIX.....then it is the Day of Reckoning that settles it....continue by the next Reckoning game that ends it all for the Gamecube generation wrestling games.

[smackdown98]

Best wrestling game they ever released (gameplay wise) you can ruin any moves or finishers which make it fun, in the current ones you can't even ruin a normal move let alone a finisher, this is by far currently the best wrestling game out, let's see if WWE 12 turns out to be better or not.

[JuanTooSmooth]

how to unlock people plz respond

[gtaplayer360]

1 cover your hand over your mouth

2make a wish

3make your hand in a fist

4send this to 3 more vids

5 then your wish will come true the next day

[M4xw3ll19]

They didn't use the official NWO theme music, but if you watch Wrestlemania X8, the NWO came out to that music

[LexiconTWR]

@M4xw3ll19 I'm going to put this NWO music thing to rest once and for all. They did use the real NWO music during their WWE run. A music company call Sonoton owns the rights to the most popular nWo theme, the one I'm talking about in my review. WWE paid Sonoton to use the theme during the nWo's run. The DVD's and the video games don't contain the original theme because it's not included in WWE's deal with Sonoton. The song is called "Rockhouse" by Frank Shelley......

[M4xw3ll19]

@LexiconTWR I remeber that the NWO had their real music during their run and i do not dispute that. but thank you for enlightening me

[LexiconTWR]

@M4xw3ll19 I know, but I've gotten several comments disputing which music they used and why it's different in the games. I just chose your comment to explain everything lol

[LexiconTWR]

@M4xw3ll19 Also, WWE can use the song during rebroadcasts, such as showings on Classics on Demand, but they can't use the song for anything they sell like DVD's or Video Games.

[jacklop121]

he



[SCOTTpilgrimist12]

this and no mercy and dare i say crush hour are my favourite wrestling games!

[DerrvilleProductions]

Heres a Easter egg... Cover is littered with WWE logo but the inside guidebook has WWF on a few pages.

[vze38bss]

@DerrvilleProductions the reason why is they put wwe on the cover cuz thats the late cover my cover is diffrent 

[swagmaster360]

Now I am sure i am going to buy this  game at my Game stop on 9.99

[AmphibiousReconMSOB]

this game has an after math attitude era feel which is rare to find these days this games timeline is just perfect for a die hard attitude era fan ,and it has old smackdown tron ! a must have.

[jacklop121]

dry

[jacklop121]

i love this game man

[biggy441]

that is the real nWo theme its rare its called rockhouse

[LexiconTWR]

@RKEreal1 If you look at the comments highlighted in yellow, we've already been over that. The SPINNING HEEL KICK is his grapple finisher. It's not the Van Daminator unless he uses a chair. Nobody's ever called it the Van Daminator on TV without the chair. Thank you for watching.

[HORNSWAGGLE123]

have you done review for legends of wrestling 2 for the gamecube?

[LexiconTWR]

@HORNSWAGGLE123 No, but I've played it enough to tell you it's crap. Only redeeming thing about it is the roster, but if you don't want to play the game, what's the point?

[MegaGoldenchild1]

how do u get the chance to face the nwo on the back of the case u see the nwo attacking the rock how do I make it to that cutscene?

[freshman5000]

rvds dropkick is just his front finisher obviously his top rope finisher is th 5 star u can have like 9 finishers

[LexiconTWR]

@freshman5000 Yeah, I just figured his front finisher would be something cooler like the high angle tiger driver. That's what I was trying to point out in the video.

[305sFinestt]

I absolutely loved this game. It was probably one of the few games that ALL of my friends got a kick out of. We played for countless hours together.

[R323838]

this game was good, the only reason why I say this game is good, because its the very last WWF game, it may say WWE but in game its WWF, and you have stars from 2002 in this game, they could have done better but to me this game is still good.

[Brian112891]

The last WWF game. :(

[7faizan]

we now what is means

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheDrPepper47]

My first ever wrestling game, I loved it but there wasn't enough moves but oh well =]

[wwfhasskillz]

Awsome video man 5 stars and one question i live in Toronto if I go to e b games do you think they will have it?

[bashbro1able]

Do you have a review on Shut Your Mouth?

[CYARA209]

LOL @ the molly holly situation

[TheDANioz]

you can create women in this game right ?

[Bmon9468]

@TheDANioz yep yep

[Giovanni666777]

You realize that van dam has a finisher called the vandaminator which is the spinning back kick... learn your shit man

[LexiconTWR]

@Giovanni666777 VanDaminator involves a chair. Learn your shit.

[Giovanni666777]

@LexiconTWR No shit it does, youd think thats what they went for but without the chair... If you look back way back in the day he did it without the chair.

[LexiconTWR]

@Giovanni666777 I've seen him do it without the chair, but without the chair all it is is a spinning heel kick. Only when he uses the chair is it called the VanDaminator.

[diezombie66]

how do you get the belts in your memory card?

[Bmon9468]

@diezombie66 u save it to it

[diezombie66]

@Bmon9468 ?

[vze38bss]

because wwf got sued and wreslemania x8 came out in wwf

[julianannon]

spining drop kick, no its the van daminator

[ThePie234]

When i was playing battle for the belts 1 title looked like the TNA X Division title

[MidgetmaniaRIP]

I agree

[TheTaylorJohnson1]

For some reason, the copy i own has The Rock on it instead of Stone Cold Steve Austin

[LexiconTWR]

@TheTaylorJohnson1 Does your cover say WWE on it instead of WWF?

[TheTaylorJohnson1]

yeah

[LexiconTWR]

@TheTaylorJohnson1 This was around the same time that Austin walked out on the company. So you got a cover without Austin.

[MidgetmaniaRIP]

Different country region.

[spider486]

this game is awesome and in my opinion i think it's better than wrestlemania 19

[edgehead2002]

Hold on are you telling me this game has no actual season mode at all?

[kevinbaconfan12]

fyi wrestlemania 17 is an arena in this game

[IAMTHEDECIEVER]

I love this game.....

[xXJcDUBBXx]

me 2

[masterpss1]

ok so i have this game an own it,im now 11 years old but i played it most when i was like 7-10 years old who think i should sell it at my garage sell?

[cannunez]

the nwo did use that them on wrestlemania 18

[a2ilool]

this game was okay

[red4dynamite]

i'm geting a gamecube 4 my birthday what wrestling game sould i get

[dynamite4life]

day of reckoning 2

[TheDakandyman]

all of them...they,re reallly cheap :D

[NinjaFingers19]

dont qet a qamecube, the qames are discontinued and they dont have many good games. Get a PS2 , they have the best wrestleing games for cheap, like 7 ~12 bucks.

[red4dynamite]

i alrighty got a game cube last week but thinks all get a ps2 probability

[masterpss1]

@NinjaFingers19 if u ask me a gamecbe is alright and if u get a wii u can play gc on it and 4 ps2's they crap out kinda easy and are about $50 more than i think they should be

[KingOfRampage]

noob

[tboy4lifeallday23]

who me

[Tboy4lifecripster2]

a gamecube thats old and there not that much good games get a ps2 or xbox

[BXBlaz3]

@red4dynamite Wrestlemania XIX and Day Of Reckoning 1 the best wrestle games on there.Ive never played wrestlemania X8 or crush hour so i cant judge those games.Day Of Reckoning sucks because of the stamina(unable to turn off) and the amount of stuff to unlock(which makes it harder to make a good caw)

[MidgetmaniaRIP]

DoR2 was better than DoR1. If you are running out of stamina all the time you are unskilled.

[BananaRecords140]

@MidgetmaniaRIP i like both day or reckonings but the stamina was the only downfall, especially when ur doing the cage match

good story line to it though

[MidgetmaniaRIP]

@BananaRecords140 I agree. As soon as you're busted open (which is really random, either easily or hard) then you can't regain stamina well and a 10.0 durability in a CAW isn't as good as a 10.0 durability in a default superstar

[ShesterJones]

day of reckoning 1 and 2

[ICavalcadeI]

same as wrestlemania xix for gamecube same thing lol

[AceHoodChamilitary]

this reviewer dont no shit i agrre wiv

'dlwill80' listen from 1:20 to 1:30 .

this gme is a classic who tha fck does he think he is tellin people not buy it

and LexiconTWR u couldnt beat molly holly cos ur shit 2:27 - 2:35

[Demonh8ter]

I need a new copy of this!

[b34ntown4life]

This game was the shit.

I bought this and a Gamecube back in 2005 when I was 11 and this is all I played that summer.

This was the only game that had the real three NWO members, Nash, Hall,.and Hogan.

It had updated rosters (the time being 6/2002) Cool arenas, only game where you could play as RVD, Booker T and the NWO in the old Smackdown arena.

This game is the SHIT.

I would buy a gamecube again for it.

[tas0119]

what i wish is that the new svr games would be on the gamecube

[MrJairo210]

im with you

[ps2champ]

no mercy was good but nothing like x8 . x8 started the multigrabble future.

[dlwill80]

molly holly looks a lot like beth pheonix

[ICavalcadeI]

make steve austin vs the rock lol

[dlwill80]

wait a minute he said that he did rvd's finisher and instead of hitting the frog splash he did a spinning heel kick/vandaminator, thats because you've got to get on the top rope dumbass

[63jaskiratgill]

thanx man iam gonna buy this

[AceHoodChamilitary]

trust me this game is amazin first game i played 10 years ago and i still play this lol

its cheap now aswell

[Dgeneratesx30]

man review shut your mouth

[Valkyrie20010]

this game is shit, unless you are bored

[Eggbomber101]

Can you throw objects on that game?

[hardcorheadbanger]

yes you can my dad bought this game for me when i was little and its really good if your little and just want to be the big guys but if you sit there and play nonstop its gets really old really quick

[tee85]

Also too because HBK wasn't in it!

[tee85]

I brought this like a weeke ago and took it back the nest day!

[CHAN3LP3ARLZ]

i think the game Wresltmania 21 was the best

[mrv4d3r]

In my opignion, the best Wrestling Game on the Cube is WWE Day of Reckoning 2...

It also offers you some features I miss in the WWE SvR games, for example that you can see all entrances without a loading screen or that you can slam 1 wrestler on the other, I want sutch a feature in the new WWE SvR 10^^

AND I want them to put the Legends back to the Roster.

(sry if you start getting angry because of my english, I'm from germany)

[selena1475]

i say buy it.

games like these are worth like eighty something dollars now.

VERY HARD TO FIND WHERE I LIVE AROUND.

plus it even makes a great collectible.

;)

[NuttMouse]

Oh WOW! I got mine(it works) from a local pawn shop for 6$!

[ElPapi997]

Who sellin thiis game or wrestlmania xix i sold them but i had dem..plzz message mee thnx im seelin games ill make a video of itt

[2pac4life400]

u know wats kool????

they put the wwe logo on the cover

but in the in-game it says wwf thats y it`s kool

[AceHoodChamilitary]

my opinion is that IT IS worth buying

[AceHoodChamilitary]

this gme is the best

[scrowisnice]

i gonna play it tomorrow!

[cannunez]

this game was awsome

[TheCarddealer758]

sym totally owned this game. better caw,more wrestlers, detailed season mode,create modes,and graphics

[sonicnator]

Borrow it? Forget borrowing the game. I would either rent it or buy it. In fact, I bought it.

[xDsandwichxD]

how many caws can you create on this game

[vcooly7u]

up too sixteen get another memory card if u want 32

[baw1369]

cause you suck thats why you couldnt beat her, damn your review sucks

[junkmandrunk]

can someone tell me where i can buy this game i just whant to try it

[NathanCreed08]

Well try a hock shop [Second hand store] cause my sister has one from ages ago so i bought one and i got the system for $50 and the game for $10 i got mine from cash converters

[junkmandrunk]

i bought this game when i had 5 years old mani loved it but im not going to ell you how old am i now you figure it out

[rooftopscreamers]

yea i hate fighting molly

[nxblnxbl]

is it better then wwf raw and wwf no mercy

[newjack1879]

Eh........... The game was good

i didn't like wrestlemania 19

DOR was the best of the bunch

[parksitous]

i bought this game, and the game cube

SADLY THEY BOTH SUCKED!!!!!

[Jobberissososexy]

good reveiw man

[chshaw87]

good review man. very professional like an ign or something. but i must say i think you being awfully kind to this game. it's awful!! the only good thing is the entrances, and the ability to counter a finisher. i don't have enough space here to tell how much this game is wank!

[hellinacell9]

what is cool about the game is that you could unlock wrestlemania 17, classic smackdown!,and royal rumble 2001.

[anikid0392]

This game was not good when it first started. It was a good start for the Gamecube WWE games series. It got better on Wrestlemania 19, then much better on Day of Reckoning, then it was very good on Day of Reckoning 2.

[starfishbk]

this game is not worth renting either its just crap

[chshaw87]

i agree. i believe the reviewer is being too kind. this is a shambles of a game especially after playing no mercy!!

[chaos1sk]

you lost to mighty molly i got this game i kill every body it only takes me 1 min to beat her she sucks i got me own person i got jack hammer as a special duh she sucks

[LexiconTWR]

Hahahahahaha. I got me own person i got jack hammer. Good one.

[omegadarks]

haha i second that.

signed~

[newjack1879]

This is a pretty damn good review !

nice job

[LilBoiCc]

this game is really fun and challenging. I could play this game for days. in fact i do still and i dunno why but i prefer this game over smackdown even tho i know smackdown is better hands down. this game and wm 19 are my favorites of all time aside from no mercy.

[famouswwefan]

u think u can make a vid on everyone with there attires and alternate attires??

[2pac4life300]

wait a minute did he say 40 wrestlrs?

don`t he mean 42 wrestlers cuz some r unlockables

[LexiconTWR]

40 to start with is what I meant.

[2pac4life300]

o my bad bro

[LexiconTWR]

No worries

[2pac4life300]

kool

[Sammy1162]

soz m8 fell asleep 2mins in....he cant beat molly holly til 15mins haha hes an extreme novice...and thats the real nwo music dilweed

[HipnosisV1Games]

That is nWo's real music....well....now anyways lol

[staticmattisokay]

Very interesting!

What's your favourite wrestling game?

[3SAUGAT]

what should i get this or here comes the pain

[LexiconTWR]

Here Comes the Pain

[canadiandaniel]

whats the best gamecube wrestling game??? besides day of reconing 2 and 1 because i have DOR2. wich one sohuld i get??

[newjack1879]

The best wrestler on the gamecube is Day of Reckoning 1 my friend

[HipnosisV1Games]

WM X1X seems Better to me(Backstage's)

[famouswwefan]

i have that game. fuckin sweet.

[Bodyslam92]

HERE COMES THE PAIN 100% sure

[spider486]

this is an allright wwf game i thought wrestlemania xix was good but i actually liked this game though why did you say it was a piece of garbage the game is awesome

[haggistheman1525]

to do the right finishers you have to be in the right situation. thats why it didnt do the five star frog splash

[LexiconTWR]

Yeah, finally got him to do it.

[wheelman2003]

LexiconTWR, there is a chance I might get this game and 3 others in a box set for Game Cube maybe after my birthday the 17th and I wondered if this game is fun ?

[LexiconTWR]

It's fun, but there isn't a lot of depth. If it's one of three, the other games might overshadow this one, but I'm not sure.

[hmmmtastey789]

i only liked this game cuz it was easy

[sonicnator]

How do you create a belt in this game? Because I finally have it and I was wondering how do you work it.

[LexiconTWR]

You can't create belts. All the created belts have been created by the developers.

[ElementalHeroAMW]

haha nice one i bought this game like 4 years ago and can u belive im playing it again haha how do u unlock characters like raven by anychance??

[owensoft]

are you going to focus on GC wrestling games? I'm looking for the best GC wrestling game

[LexiconTWR]

I'm going to focus on EVERY wrestling game. All the GC ones, and every other one.

[GoldStandard00924]

This game would have been better if THQ/Yukes had more time to work on the game. I wish Battle for the Belts would've been in the games after this. Even the CAW mode IMO lacked.

[dudepimpin]

yea i heard that this game was only critizised over its lack of season mode but overall its a good game.I mostly like how it has both X7 and X8 arenas

[mattnintendonerd]

u should review wwf wrestlemania for nes

[johncenafan42792]

in the royal rumble rules, what's random enter?

[LexiconTWR]

It means that the character you choose will be entered in the rumble at a random number, instead of starting in the rumble 1 or 2

[GooseberryGill]

I find that "Random Enter" thing a big load of shit. Because, whenever I play the Royal Rumble match and use the "Random Enter" selection, I come out as #1 or 2 anyway. So, I'm just sitting there, thinking, "What the fuck is the point?".

[1525339003]

Are you kidding me?This game is cool

[jaydi786]

how do u unlock andre the giant??

[johncenafan42792]

u cant unlock andre

[Demonh8ter]

Who was the first face?

[LexiconTWR]

Chuck Palumbo

[tommycheng159512]

I like this game, it aint da best but i would put it in my top five games of wrestling!

[Demonh8ter]

well I got the game, but it's good to me!

[Demonh8ter]

I got this game too but scratched up, still, it works! These r the games I collect!

[LexiconTWR]

Yup, GameCube games are the sturdiest games made besides Blu Ray. I've seen the most damaged GC games play just fine.

[slimjimworm]

it is called wrestlemania 18 that is what x8 stands for.

[LexiconTWR]

HAHAHAHA! You don't think I know that? Wow.

[lololemons123456]

Molly Holy is easy.I beat easily.Wresslemania X8

is amazing.Well in my opinion.Thanks for the awsome video.
