Review: WWF No Mercy (GameCube)




WWF No Mercy for the GameCube is a video game that came out for the Sony GameCube in 2008. It features more than 40 of the time's greatest World Wrestling Federation superstars and Knockouts, including The Rock, Buff Bagwell, and in his first ever video game appearance, WWF Hall of Famer Andre the Giant! I've heard some people on the interwebs say it's the best game ever, and I'd tend to agree with them, but there are many flaws that keep this far away from perfection.
WWF Superstar "The Big Show" John Cena, who finishes opponents with his deadly Play Maker.

First of all, the roster is very lacking. I mean, I know it's just a licensed wrestling game, they don't have to have everyone in it, but they forgot to put Cactus Jack and Mick Foley in it! Cactus main evented WWF Elimination Chamber of 2008, beating Triple HHH for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship in a Hell in a Cell match. And Mick had been the commissioner of the WWF for 20 years at that point! There's no reason for them NOT to be in the game!

And some of the people in this game are crazy additions. Seriously, who wants to play as The Citten, whose only accomplishment was showing her boobs at a live WWF PPV... in LONDON! It wasn't even in Cape Town, South Africa, the location of the headquarters of the WWF, Titan Towers. What a joke, Yuke's! (they're the ones who developed this)

Here's a picture of The Citten showing her boobs at that show. I've heard they were implants, though.

God! I'm sorry I scarred you guys for life. Hey, at least you didn't have to search the interwebs to find that image! Ugh, Google with SafeSearch off, very scary. Anyways, the graphics in this game vary a ton. Sometimes, they're awesome, but other times, they're the worst things I've ever seen. Seriously, look at this comparison.

Awful.










Awesome.













Now, onto the music. This is some of the worst music I've ever heard. Seriously, you'd think this is a game from the Nintendo 128 if you were blind! And, yes, I'll torture you with a sample.


And the titantrons... Here's a sample.

Speaking of terrible characters to put in a video game...

Everywhere on the interwebs, people are ranting and raving about how awesome the engine is. Well, I can say that they are LIARS. The engine in this is equivalent to the one used in WCW/nWo Revenge (which I'm sure it is) and that game was AWFUL. The strongest move in the games is the TEST OF STRENGTH. Yeah, that was Jake "The Wall" Roberts' finisher in the 80's, but this isn't the 80's anymore. This is 2011! Woah, I think I just Sparta'd myself.

Actual picture from the war of 300.

Anyways, this is a review, so I guess I should give this turd a rating. I give it...
