WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game is a wrestling title that was also ported to the Sega 32X and SNES in 1995.
+ Beat-em-up gameplay is atypical for the genre, but seamlessly blends grappling with slapstick attacks and projectiles.+ Larger roster than the SNES port and wrestlers have extensive move sets that are executed via simple button commands.
+ Handicap bouts are great fun, and two players can battle against each other, or cooperatively against the CPU.
+ Combo metre is a key inclusion, as you can quickly turn the tide by doing massive damage in a short burst.
+ Motion capture animation is impressive and unlike the 30FPS Sega 32X version, this runs at double the frame-rate.
- While there are difficulty options, the CPU is brutally aggressive which doesn't help with easing new players in.
- Missing most of Jerry Lawler's commentary and there's noticeable slowdown when four wrestlers are on screen.
