I didn't finish it yet, but I think it lacks story. The PS2 game had a story mode and it was a lot of fun, it made the game much more interesting than what it looked like (beautiful girls fighting). But now, that's just it, girls fighting and nothing more. I really missed some kind of depth on the characters.

The overall game is pretty good. The controls need to be worked on a lil bit more. but the standard game play gets the job done. I like this game because as a guy i rather watch beautiful girls wrestle than a bunch of sweaty guys. I like the whole idea of the more u wrestle the toner you get and you can control the complete muscle mase. Althought I would have liked to see more options as far as physical customerzation. The girls bodies turn out realistic and nice, but the asses tend to turn out deformed. If in the next installment you also had the option of the roundness of the butt and how big the variety of the girls would be greater, physically. This is because most of the girls bodies are roughly the same. Thats another thing, there are only about 13 girls not including alter egos. In the next installment I would like to see more girls, more stages, this infamous oil match that was in the first game, and more swimsuits. Look to DOA extreme beach volley ball and the game sexy beach for swimsuit ideas. I'm hoping to see better next gen graphics on the next installment. I'm even looking forward to the girls sweating. I mean if WWE can get that outta the next gen on their game than im sure Rumble Roses can too. So to conclude my review the overall game its good. It does what it was set out to do. Get the guys johnsons jumping and decent game play. I would recommend this game to friends and i already have.Read full review
Rumble Roses XX, the X-Box 360 sequel to the dark-horse PS2 hit Rumble Roses, has, in a nutshell, stripped the series of all of its charm and replaced it with a mess of thorny issues. In the original, we followed a group of 10 female wrestlers (each with 2 distinct character personae, Babyface and Heel) as they wrestled in the Rose League. Each of the 20 characters (only 10 of them selectable at any given time due to the game's alignment mechanics) had their own story (for most, the common thread was the game's primary antagonist, Anesthesia) and a compelling reason to be there. Background information was delivered, relationships were expanded upon, and a good jubbly time was had by all. ...Good luck trying to find any of THAT in the sequel. There IS NO STORY MODE in RRXX. All character relationships with each other can only be known if you're already familiar with them, and while the graphics have been improved to the point where Tecmo can learn a thing or two for their DoA women, there's no reason for it without something tangible to fight for. The road to championship gold is long. VERY long, because you'll need to win A LOT to get your first singles title shot (even more to get a tag title shot), and since matches are randomly chosen, you'll be having to win even more than "a lot". But that's okay, because you get money for winning, and there's a LOT to buy--artwork, costumes, and Pure Humilation punishments (some of which can be used for Photo Shoot mode, which is exactly what it says on the tin). Too bad you have to buy each wrestler's extra costumes individually, and starting a new wrestler for the first time starts you off from scratch with 0 money and 50% popularity. Oh, and costumes cost more per outfit than you can easily make in a few matches. There IS a create-a-rose mode, but it's bare-bones, suffers from the same Custom Playlist problem that plagued Legends of WrestleMania (and likely a few other XB360 games), and you can't do any sort of deep edits to your created rose, Lambda, that you could in even the FIRST SmackDown for the PS1! Luckily, Konami took the Yuke's engine they licensed (the same engine from the SmackDown series) and didn't make any of the gameplay mechanics worse. Thank the gaming gods for small favors. The music is generic, but pleasing (it retains all the tracks from the first game, and adds a few new ones), and there will likely be few issues with it since you probably won't be in any one menu for a really long time...not even the Shop or Museum. Again, the graphics are stunning, especially when you unlock the Superstar outfits for the Roses (not to mention their fetish outfits like the French Maid or the Playboy Bunny), but what point is good graphics when there's nothing substantial to attach them to? The gameplay, thankfully, is the same as the first with nothing removed. If you've played SmackDown: Here Comes the Pain with any sort of regularity, you'll be able to instantly get the hang of this. Story is non-existent, instead relying on a non-paying Exhibition mode (you can't even change your alignment in there like in the first game) and a series of random matches for money to comprise your gaming experience. Bottom line: if you're a fan of the series, by all means, get this. Otherwise, you won't really be missing anything here and I'd recommend getting the first game for the PS2 (which should be nice and cheap by now). Thumbs sideways.Read full review
From the outside, the game can look like many things. Silly, Sexist, stupid, whatever. But beneath all the eye-candy, lies a fairly well made, well-rounded, and even challenging wrestling game. The Graphics are decent. Character models are beautiful, with the only sign of age being the animations and the backgrounds. Gameplay is surprisingly difficult to master. While it is in part the animations that make controlling a character somewhat of a challenge here and there, the overall mechanics take time to learn. The Characters each have their own fighting styles and will take time to learn as well. The trick isn't necessarily to learn some super-combo move to win the match, but rather to use the mechanics in your favor during the match. During a match, you can take/give damage in four areas: Head, Body, Arms, and Legs.Over the course of a match, you wear down your opponent using strikes, throws, and submission moves, which target one or more of the areas mentioned. There is also the infamous Humiliation meter that once filled, allows for a humiliation submission. Generally speaking your opponent's H-Meter is filled up by countering their attacks, as well as performing various moves on them (depending on your character.) The story is minimal to nonexistent. Basically, your goal is to become a champion, and you fight a series of matches to do it. There are some references to the previous game in the series, mainly dialogue and body language between the wrestlers (So you know if they don't like each other). There are two... factions, if you will, in the roaster. The Babyfaces (Good guys), and the Heels (Bad guys). This only serves to separate the two personae of each of the characters. When you start out, you'll have mostly Babyfaces and a few Heels. In layman's terms, playing A LOT will unlock all of the characters (By that I mean Personae). For details, just look it up. There are a few game modes; 1-1 , 2-2 , 1-2 (Handi-cap), 3 royal and 4 royal. There are also street fights, Queen's matches, photo shoots, and an Art Gallery. The re-playability of the game is decent, but while the game does have options, it's not brimming with content. I should also mention that the tutorial for this game (if you can call it that) is pretty terrible. Essentially, it's a bunch of Q&A's with some short descriptions and then a prerendered video (which looks worse than the actual game). So yes, there is a learning curve, and your first few matches are probably going to be very difficult and demoralizing, as the A.I. isn't the smartest, but is unforgiving if it gets on a roll. Oh, and if thought that this game was just a bunch of pretty girls dancing around a ring, think again. While there is a more than fair amount of fan-service in this game, a lot of the throws, submissions and strikes are downright brutal. Make no mistake, these girls beat the $#!% out of each other when they step into that ring. The only difference between this game and a WWE game is that the character models don't show blood. Overall, a nice buy. This is the kind of game that you play with your friends when they're over for the lol's, or just as a cathartic relief from a long day. This game isn't anything special. But it doesn't need to be, nor try to be. This game sets out to be a wrestling game with gorgeous women, decent gameplay, and just enough fan-service to keep you coming back for more.Read full review
