 Rumble Roses XX can put you in a sleeper hold April 17, 2006

Ok, I'm not some horny 16 year old who just bought this game to see half-naked women. I am the gamer who plays games for fun and entertainment. When I first heard in 2004 that Konami was going to produce a wrestling game, I said "Sure, why not? They make action games, survival horror and dance games, why not try wrestling?" So I immediatly picked up Rumble Roses when it was first released.
When I first heard that sleeper hit Rumble Roses was going to be released and remade, I knew that I had to purchase it. I really loved the game that was released for the PS2. It was a tease and it played well. It was not like other games that degraded women. Ok, I take that back because of the really skimpy swimsuits and the mud matches.
I purchased this game despite the mixed reviews. I went on this site everyday looking for new reviews but the only things I could find were the 16's who loved the bouncy breasts. It's a shame that's all I could find. A few people actually posted some honest reviews. Well, I would like to join the few who are the average gamers.
Rumble Roses is a wrestling game. I won't take that away from it. The wrestling part plays out pretty well seeing as it was made with/by Yukes. I like the work Yukes has done in the past. Most of the girl's moves have either been improved or changed for the better. I can live with that. The wrestling system works well as I would have expected. If you liked the Smackdown series, you will like the wrestling.
Some other things were changed. Gone are story mode and mud-match wrestling. I can live with out the mud, but I wish story mode was left and fixed so it made sense. Now without story mode, the game is just so long and boring having to fight every single woman just to get a title shot. In the story mode, every woman's story was explained as to why she was wrestling. Now, every woman fights for the hell of it, I guess. Another addition that I like street fights. You fight your opponent in an outside cage with no submission or pins, the point is to knock out the power out of each other. Street fights remind of games like Street Fighter or Tekken.
Added was create a character/wrestler. I was really excited that I was finally able to include a wrestler into one of my favourite present wrestling games. I figured that since Yukes was behind this game, they would have a kick-ass create a wrestler as with the Smackdown series. Well, not exactly kick-ass but decent. The create a wrestler is really lacking. You can have up to 30 created wrestlers which is cool but they are all the same woman Lambada. You can't change her face or entrance. That really sucks. You can't edit her moves either. Every "Lambada" has the same entrance and since there is only three voices, eventually they will all have the same voices. Another thing that bugs me is that your character can only be as tall as 5'9 and as short as 5'5. She lowest she can weight is 115 and the most 151. So much for making a realistic woman. I love looking at anorexic models.
There really isn't a "main" mode to speak of, so you have to fight in matches to earn money and unlock costumes. While this probably seemed like a good idea while the game was in production, it is extremely repetitive trying to earn all the costumes. There is only like 40 costumes for you to unlock. Every girl has the exact same costumes to unlock, so it really isn't any fun trying to unlock the same exact costume over and over. The methods for unlocking items aren't really that exciting either. It takes forever trying to save enough for all the costumes. The outfits in the game are just your skimpy thong swimsuits and your average Japanese sterotypical clothes like maids and school girls. What a suprise. I wish they would of had more of a selection than that. Once again, I figured since Yukes was assisting they would have included some of their previous create a wrestler material. Wrong. What you see is what you get.
My overall view of this game is rent before you buy. You might like wrestling and women but this game does have a few flaws as I hope I mentioned. I just wish that games would stop degrading women as just sex objects. You never see men like this, so why should women have to suffer this treatment. Out of a possible 5, I rate this game a 2.5. I could have been better. The reason for the score, is because I was already of the first Rumble Roses and I love wrestling. It loses points on the lacking of reason for fighting and create a wrestler.

 A Little More Addition with a Lot More Disappointment!! April 22, 2006

Here's my advice: Before you buy a game please check out reviews ANYWHERE before getting it. I made that mistake when I got this game. Overall, when I had gotten Rumble Roses XX it seemed like it was going to be something promising with its new modes but quite honestly where they opened the doors to new features, they've done a pretty lazy job on it.
The first thing you will definitely want to try out is the Create-A-Wrestler mode where you can make your own character from a variety of different options: hair color, make-up, and yes... you can pick between TWO different costumes. After playing professional wrestling games with personas you actually see on television like WWE, there have been moments in those games where it just seemed like they squeezed it out and some things were disappointing. If you put Rumble Roses XX in the pro-wrestling game genre it would make those other lame looking games gold. Yes, the customization is THAT bad. When morphing your wrestler's form, you can only change three things: B-W-H. You cannot change facial structure or even push their height past 5'9" (because women taller than that is absurd!) There may have been only 5-6 different hairstyles all you can change between 3-4 different hair colors on. The costumes you can only change the color on as well.
After just an hour playing this game, I realized one thing: I was gipped. When playing a match, it feels like this is not a pro-wrestling game but just a fighting game guised as one. The controls are less responsive than a comatose person. As part of the game, you can fill up your opponent's "embarrassment" meter when you constantly land attacks on them and you keep countering theirs. The problem: They can do the same back, and they do it a bit TOO well. I've tried countering many times and I got a low percentage of success. If I attack the CPU, then they miraculously counter every move I make. It's just like guessing at a Scantron True / False section while locking horns with someone who has the answers written on their palm.
I would tell you about the other modes this game has which I bet are a blunder. The unlockables are probably not even worth it. You can't beat your opponent unless you survive to the 10 minute time limit.
If you want to give this game a shot, then by all means RENT it. Do not buy it and expect something that'll tear off the roof.

Make sure your try this out before you buy it. If I had gotten the demo first I most definitely would not have bought this game. The women are beautiful..no question about that..however everything else about this game is horrible. The gameplay, the animation during game play, some of the background graphics, the music, the voice acting. Damn.
And to think this is from the same company that brought us the metal gear series.
 fun for everyone!!!! March 28, 2006

When I got this game I thought I was purchasing a wrestling game all this game basically feels like is like all your doing is fighting exhibition matches it has no story and the character customization is just pitiful with very little options to truly create any kind of original wrestler as like the smackdown series the graphics are pretty well done but with so little arenas and just 10 wrestlers to chose from this just dosent warrent the 60$ price unless you have to get a wrestling game and the fighting system is very easy to pick up and play in about 10 minutes or little you might master this game decent game just not worth the steep price tag
