Remember WCW vs. NWO: World Tour, THQ's last Nintendo 64 wrestling game? Revenge builds on the previous game but makes most of the same mistakes. The result is a good wrestling game that should have been so much better. The World Tour engine has been carried over to Revenge, so the gameplay is identical. The main difference here is the graphics. The characters look and animate very well, and the wrestlers' faces look really accurate. There are a few seams in the polygons here and there, and instances where bodies go through the ropes and such, but it's not a huge deal. All the backgrounds are made up to look like various WCW shows, including Pay-Per-Views like Starrcade, Superbrawl, and Halloween Havoc. The roster is quite possibly the largest roster of licensed wrestlers ever, though there are still a few non-WCW masked weirdos tossed in for good measure. An edit costume feature lets you make extremely basic changes to all the wrestlers. The gameplay modes include challenges for all of the WCW belts, as well as a battle royal, handicap matches, and exhibition matches. Winning belts unlocks wrestlers like Kidman, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and Curt Hennig. A few of the belt challenges are also locked at the beginning of the game. The actual wrestling itself is mostly timing based. Rather than grapple and pound on buttons for supremacy, he who ties up usually wins. There are a few counters here and there that will allow you to reverse certain moves and strikes. The game has a decent number of moves per wrestler, but it still feels like there just aren't enough variations. The computer's lack of skill in one-on-one matches doesn't really help, either. It does, however, manage to put up a good fight in tag team matches, as well as the battle royal.Read full review
This game along with WCW/NWO World Tour, WWF WrestleMania 2000, WWF No Mercy and Def Jam Vendetta for the PS2 are all very similar and use the same game engine. This title is very fun and It's a real blast to pickup and play. There's a ton of characters, each with different move-sets and specialities. I really enjoyed revisiting this title 👍.

WCW/NWO Revenge (N64) This game is awesome, although I wouldn't recommend this game due to the fact that THQ put out WWF No Mercy for the N64. WCW/NWO Revenge just doesn't offer the outstanding features that WWF No Mercy offers. In my eyes, WCW/NWO Revenge is the 3rd best wrestling game available for the N64. Final Verdict: 4/5 Rent or Buy: Save your money and buy WWF No Mercy today!!! Check out my review for WWF No Mercy to see what I'm talking about. PLEASE VOTE IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL. Thank you.
The gameplay mechanics have aged very well and are better than any of the new wrestling games. Fun to play, especially with friends
