WWF: No Mercy

For starters, there are 65-plus wrestlers, including old and new schoolers, tossed onto carefully copied sets like Wrestlemania and Smackdown. There are also new backstage areas, like the sharply detailed bar, which incorporates a pool table for optimal slammage.

New matches, such as the ladder match and guest referee match, offer numerous possibilities, like using the ladder as a springboard, or ignoring pins when taking control of the official. Weapons also abound, and now these items can be hurled around, even from the floor to the ring, where it's liable to hit a clueless opponent. A story mode adds tremendous replay value to this one, giving players the option of turning good or bad, with a variety of consequences based on that decision.

As stated, the game plays just like Wrestlemania 2000, meaning the same degree of slowdown and questionable artificial intelligence. The slowdown particularly hampers the game when many wrestlers take the ring at once, and it seems that this title pushes the N64 to the limit as far as on-screen action goes.

But the game's good points more than outweigh its bad, and all told, No Mercy will satisfy any wrestling fan looking for a taste of their favourite male melodrama. --Robb Guido

There is an in-depth season mode, while boring at times, has loads of storylines and will keep your in your seat for hours. The McMahons joining forces with you; reliving WrestleMania 2000 (fatal 4-way for WWE Title) and the like make this a great "Championship Mode".

Also, there are quite a lot of match types, all with fully customisable rules. Want a cage match where you can also win by making the opponent bleed? You got it. Want a match that can't be won? On here. The Create A PPV is also quite good, and you can have hours of fun with it.

With the money from Championship Mode, you can buy pretty much anything from the Smackdown Mall: New moves, new wrestlers, a new shirt... anything!

If you get this game prepare for a solid wrestle-em-up.

This game has to be the number one of the year. With new wrestlers like Rikishi, Dudleys and Kurt Angle, and the old classics like stonecold, Rock and HHH. There is an improved Career mode with story lines and TABLES,LADDERS AND CHAIRS, wow that will rok, and dont forget Special geust referee. Smackdown2 on the greystation may have HITC but the graphics are no way near as good and the controls dont come close so BUY NO MERCY NOW!

Ok then about 2 years ago wrestling games were plain old games now with THQ Behind the driving seat they are realy coming good but wwf no mercy will rock your mind there is no doubt about it. With upto 80 wwf superstars over 6 backstage areas and arena's that look so good you could be at wrestlemania 2001 you will not no what has hit you. But with a game that is so cool you think are there any folts well the answer yes where by wwf smackdown 2 has great intro music and vids the N64 Can not handle all of this and the state of the music and vids are very poor but this is small as graphics wise and moves wise this game rocks it olympic slams all games it rock bottoms them to the matt what will THQ Do next!!!!!!!!!!! a good game that may have just been a bit better with HELL IN A CELL but i dont think THQ Could have put anymore on 1 cart if they had tried.....good game.
