Regardless of the game's humorous approach, Wrestling MPire 2008: Career Edition can still be enjoyed quite a lot, especially if you adhere to the ironic and sarcastic view on the wrestling world.

An entertaining and clever wrestling simulator Naturally, fights will ensue between the players outside the right as well, since no one actually stops you from doing so. In addition, it is also possible to take part in two-on-two matches, in which two of the players fight in the ring and the other two wait for their turn on the sidelines. Obviously, if you bring the weapons into the ring and you use them on your opponent, you are automatically disqualified from the event. Until then, the fights can get quite disorienting, especially since you are allowed to step out of the ring at any time and take part in vicious brawls, using chairs, knives and whatever else you happen to find laying around. Fights that degenerate into back-alley brawlsĪs far as the actual fighting mechanics, the game is rather simple to learn, although there are a lot of special combinations that come into play once your character gets a bit more experienced. Hence, you are ridiculed by your opponents most of the time, while the spectators usually burst into laughter when you fail to execute a certain technique. Wrestling, on the other hand, is all about being popular with the crowd, which is sometimes more important than being good at the actual sport. Thus, by winning shady events in front of a handful of people, you can throw together a bunch of money and open ways towards bigger gigs, which are more capable of bringing you fame and glory.Īlthough the game is filled with humor and sarcasm, it does represent the conditions of a newcomer quite accurately, regardless of the chosen sport. Such is the case in Wrestling MPire 2008: Career Edition, which allows you to create a character and follow his progress over the course of a hopefully successful career, unless you quickly fall into obscurity. Thus, until you get a good contract, you are liable to remain jobless for quite some time, regardless of how much training you put into honing your skills. Wrestling may have gotten a bad rap on TV, but the sport is not an easy one at all, especially in the beginning when no one knows who you are or what you can do.
