With all the top 10 lists lately on the site, Wrestlezone has released a top 10 wrestling video games, which should be fun to see peoples opinions about on here.
If you havent seen, the list goes..
10 - Def Jam: Fight For NY
9 - WWF Wrestlefest
8 - Tecmo World Wrestling
7 - Smackdown Vs Raw 2006
6 - WWF Raw
5 - WWF Wrestlemania 2000
4 - WWF Smackdown
3 - Fire Pro Wrestling Returns
2 - WWE Smackdown Here Comes the Pain
1 - WWF No Mercy
With an honourable mention to Fire Pro Wrestling on the GBA
Reading the list, I was suprised, but not dissapointed at the inclustion of Def Jam. Def Jam 2 was a game I remember renting and being suprisingly impressed by, the customisation was great fun, and once you had a few matches, the game engine was really fun to use. To be honest the wrestling wasnt emphasised in that game but it was still there so im glad it was included.
If it was my personal list, I would make two changes, that is to remove WWF Raw and replace it with WCW/NWO World Tour... I know Revenge is better, but World Tour was the first wrestling game I ever played, and I played it alot. So I would include it just for that experience. It was the first time I was introduced to WCW in the first place... though the only wrestler I knew was Hogan.
I would also switch No Mercy and Here Comes the Pain, though they are both fantastic and rightfully should be in the top two positions, I just prefer Here Comes the Pain a little more, what do you guys think of this list? and if you were to compile your own list, how would it differ?
