Review

 

Starring the foxiest female wrestlers to grace the ring, Konami's over-the-top grappler has been designed to offer wrestling fans all the moves and pin-downs expected of the genre, while the intense girl-on-girl action is enhanced by an incredible level of aesthetic detail. Players select their chosen wrestler from a roster of would-be champions. Each character is endowed with a series of unique moves, with Country Girl Dixie Clemets famed for her Wild West-style costumes and 'Dixie Buster' attack, while Japan's Reiko Hinomoto is a more traditional wrestler who is an expert at drop-kicks and German suplex pins.
WWX: Rumble Rose also enjoys an incredibly intuitive control system that encourages the player to string together moves to create unique attacks. In addition to the basic moves associated with the sport, the player can add taunts to moves to create combinations designed to humiliate their opponents. This, in turn, affects the personality of the wrestlers, with extensive use of taunts manifesting in changes to their costume, general attitude and the way they wrestle. Additional moves are also unlocked as the wrestlers adapt to the style they are given.
