Trying their hardest to take pages from the WWE's lingerie matches, Konami has tried to feature characters that would be appealing to male audiences.
I have specifically held off on talking about the characters so far because I wanted to tie it into the graphics. Why create so many characters to have them all fight in the same five or six arenas? Then again, the ladies are nothing special, so it's not quite as bad as it seems. Of course, all wrestling matches take place in similar rings, but if you are going to introduce individual wrestlers, shouldn't they have some kind of personal level, similar to every other fighting game ever made? While this might have been done for simplicity's sake, it becomes a very boring retreading of the exact same thing. Although the levels look decent, it's tiring to play on the same ones over and over again, with little variety after the first few matches. There are different locations to fight, each one attempting to incorporate something different, which is the first of this game's numerous faults. The game has no story mode, so it's tough to get your initial bearings, but everything does center on the locker room, where you can change your character's uniforms, save, and watch your character jump up and down for no apparent reason.Īfter that, you go into the main selection screen, which is a map where you can select from several options. Players are thrown right into character selection, with no real additional help from there. Opening with a terrible Motley Crüe-esque song, the introduction features the characters of the game performing their various moves while attempting to be "sexy." When the first 30 seconds of a game shows you everything that can be seen, that does not bode well. Say what you will, but RRXX never denies its own sleazy attempts at exciting young men. Featuring over-the-top women characters, RRXX comes off as less of a wrestling game and more an exercise in futility. In Rumble Roses XX, Konami tries to rectify those problems, bringing the first wrestling game to the Xbox 360 with rather uninspiring results. The original Rumble Roses was an average game that featured a decent fighting system, but glaring issues hurt the overall package.
