All N64 Games #241: WWF Attitude
Posted 28 Aug 2024 at 15:21 by Dean Jones
In terms of creating an atmosphere, WWF Attitude absolutely nails it. There are a lot of wrestlers in the game, each with their own intros and intro music – recreated in the game’s engine – and each wrestler even features voiced lines. The presentation is let down slightly by the visuals, particularly the character models, with some of the wrestlers (such at The Rock) difficult to identify on looks alone.
There are an immense amount of options, though, with lots of match settings, a good create-a-wrestler, and a career mode where you move up the ranks from untelevised matches to being the wrestler for big events.
I personally didn’t get on with the fighting itself (which, similar to War Zone, is more oriented on remembering button combinations), but it seems like a pretty solid game for fans of wrestling, and the first one on the N64 to completely nail the “attitude” of WWF itself.
Fine
Despite the obvious improvements, WWF Attitude is fundamentally WWF Warzone sporting a shiny new wrestling gown. That might initially put you off if you preferred WCW/NWO Revenge’s way of doing things, but Attitude provides such feature-packed wrestling, with so many enticing extras, that it’d be a shame to miss it. For now, WWF Attitude is the closest you’ll get to real wrestling on your N64.
