    As good of a wrestling games as I have seen for any next generation console. In fact it is quite a bit better than most. However if Yuke's would implement their older grappling system, this game would have been unstoppable.

    A great chance to pummel your most hated wrestlers in the face - but it should have been much better. [NGC]

    For all the extras that X8 provides -- the match types and custom belts -- it just doesn't have the core controls I was looking for.

    If you don't have the facility to gather at least two other people to your GameCube, then you will not find much fun in Wrestlemania X8.

    I think that the game is very smooth, but there are some disappointing things about it. I hate the fact that you can't rejoin after being ousted in the royal rumble. Who want sto watch the computer players fight each other? not me. I also don't like the fact that there isn't any dialogue from the wrestlers. Besides that i love the rest of the game. I think the hell in the cell is cool and the ladder matches, and all that jazz. Me and my friends have a pretty good time playing it and that's all that f***ing matters.… Expand
