Only now, with the power of the Xbox 360 and some truly “bonerific” graphics do we finally get to explore all the splendor of scantily clad, well-endowed women, both in and out of the wrestling ring.
Despite the addition of tag matches, Battle Royales, and Street Fights, there simply isn’t enough depth to keep this hopeful at the top of the ranks. The playability is high, especially amongst human combatants, but the single-player offering wears thin.
Best lesbian fighting ever! Great sexy girls,a lot of different techniques,cool metal songs, and unrivaled gameplay.Great exclusive for X-box 360! The owners of PC and Playstation envy and cry.
If you're looking for some quick and easy fun, it's here. However, if you're looking for some depth in the wrestling engine, you'll need to wait for a next generation "Smackdown."
Rumble Roses XX could have been a contender against DOA4 and still set itself apart from the fray. Instead, the game comes off as juvenile with plenty of moves that would only seem to be appropriate in movies you’d find in a dark hallway in the back corner of the video store.
The whole thing is an embarrassing reminder that there are still plenty of people making, publishing, and buying games who have a lot of growing up to do. [July 2006, p.93]
This game is a great addition to your Xbox 360 library if you love fighting games or wrestling. The graphics are stellar, there are a lot of different game modes, and the game just oozes with character. The face/heel system effectively doubles the roster by giving each character a good and evil side to them. The street fight mode is a personal favorite of mine, as it feels more like a traditional 3D fighter. This game has a lot of charm and personality to it, which is what will draw you in and keep you. My only gripe is that the story mode is gone this time, where one was included in the original Rumble Roses title. Either way, the game play is strong and fluid for a wrestling game, you can parry out of just about anything if you have a tell on what your opponent is going to do (much like the Dead or Alive series). This keeps you on your toes and prevents you from getting too predictable. This game is way stronger than people give it credit for, and for as cheap as it is now, coupled with Xbox One compatibility, how can you go wrong?!
It's sexy ladies "wrestling" in skimpy outfits and it does nothing to hide that fact. It knows who its target audience is and lays it on thick. As a wrestling game it is average at best, but the interesting and well designed characters and some unique wrestling ideas are really what give this game its shine. As long as you don't take it too seriously and enjoy the view, it can be a fun game.
Le jeu japoniais… non, j’exagère là : ce n’est pas niais, c’est un vrai jeu de pervers pour otaculs ! très bien réalisé et avec de belles animations (!…) même si les menus et leur présentation perfectible sont d’une rare laideur. C’est quand même une espèce de « vrai » jeu par rapport aux DOA Extreme Beach Volley de Tecmo, les combats de catch étant bien plus « techniques » que de simples parties de volley ou autres mini-jeux plus ou moins idiots.
Cela étant, on est loin du jeu de baston traditionnel qui procure au moins un amusement immédiat. La prise en main… est lourde, les commandes inutilement compliquées (traduction pour les fans : c’est technique lolilol) et le jeu est lent, très lent. Et pour se rincer l’oeil avec le mode photo puisque c’est là le but premier, il faut enchaîner les combats comme un stakhanoviste ou un salary man japonais.
Bref, c’est rigolo un temps mais forcément très répétitif et disons-le, carrément… parfois vulgaire… il manque peut-être un dernier x à ce jeu pour qu’il atteigne euh… des sommets ! mais en l’état, c’est trop lourdingue en fait.
Rumble Roses on the PS2 is a game that if given a chance could satisfy both those after a decent wrestling game and those who just want a game to get reactions out of there friends. Whilst being bizarre and overly sexual the game still had some depth and solid mechanics that made it perfect.
Dropping the well established developer for this 360 sequel really put the death sentence on this game. It looks better has a few added modes to have a laugh about with your friends, but gone is the core gameplay that made Rumble Roses more than your cheap wrestling knock off.
Not only has the legitimate move set been stripped down, but the controls are horrible. Even if you could forgive that the actual wrestling moves are gone, you would have no chance to fully comprehend how to actual play the game.
It's a case of instead of adding nice visuals and few more features, for what ever reason any playability from the original was stripped down (no pun intended) to leave a game that couldn't possibly appeal to anyone looking for a playable wrestling or even fighting game.
Played it years ago and rebought it on my Xbox One. Admittedly, it has aged well, but with sloppy controls, borderline endless grinding, and clipping issues, it’s not a game I would recommend unless you love scantily clad women (and who doesn’t?). The gameplay is decent, but I would wanna see a lot more effort if Konami plans to revive this series.
SummaryThe vixens of wrestling are back. Sure Rumble Roses XX delivers the visual "enhancements" that you would expect for a next generation game, but this is more than just another pretty face. Get in the ring and unload submission holds, reversals, and an increased number of other new moves to take down your opponent. Go online and team up wi...
