WCW Nitro

[3.0] "Great roster and the wrestlers cutting promos on why you should pick them was cool as shit. Unfortunately the controls are unresponsive and the gameplay is bad."

[1.0] "Limited controls during gameplay, limited movesets on everyone, limited fun. I will say the rants are highly entertaining and the best part of the game, the weird fantasy characters also have a charm to them.. I guess? Terrible game don't play it."

[8.0] "... Amazed to see so many that like this game, I genuinely thought I was in the minority in liking it. It plays well, the moves are rather limited though, and the commentary is extremely repetitive, but it's so fun to play and keep unlocking all the hidden wrestlers/characters. Biggest issue i had was that many of the controls/moves don't match up with those printed in the manual (didn't bother proofreading I reckon) so just had to press every button instead! ."

[10.0] "I still love how this game had this 'Crazy-Weird Wrestlers Cheat'. I loved to use a T-Rex against the Stinger, or a bear wrestled The Giant. xD The graphics were ultra epic back in 1998. Nothing else came close to WCW Nitro for wrestling games back in day. I just still love the rants, roster and funny cheats in this game. The only downside for me is, that this game had no real title matches. Man that would be damn epic. And that the 'secret' Old-School Hulk Hogan only wrestled in entrance attire is weird. But all in all this game was too sweet! I still remember the moves for most wrestlers. For example: Sting*s Scorpion Death Lock was d-pad down, square, X, square; Giant Chokeslam was UP, X, O, O. Or DDP's Diamond Cutter was: UP, X, X, O! Yeah these were day's! xD Classic!"

[10.0] "I still remember when I played with my friends Nitro on PlayStation and we unlocked the yellow Hulk Hogan, Santa Claus, a bear and so on. Man these were the days. I still remember how could find out to make the scorpion death lock and wrote the move combination on a paper. Man these were glory and funny days. Nitro gives me so beautiful memories. We loved this game back in day. And sometimes I still play this, just today with my strategy guide were all the moves are listed. Brutal underrated this game. It was awesome back in day. Especially the authentic Nitro and nWo Music in the menus and not to forgot the epic rants and very good graphics. And this was also the first game to have the most WCW PPV's in it."

[9.0] "Can't believe most people didn't like and can't handle this game. Nitro was and still (in 2020! ) is a blast to play. Me, my family and friends played this back in 1998 and 1999 on the original PlayStation 1 and we LOVED IT! I played almost all wrestling-games from WWF/E and WCW, and this is not as bad as most people made it. The controls were different from most games we know today, and I know these button combination led people to frustration. But if you understand this control system, this game was easy and damn fun. I can't believe most people prefer these AKI games to this. No other WCW game had more WCW feeling than this game. And even the graphics were for 1998 very detailed and accurate. For example Hollywood Hogan in game of Nitro looked like his real-counterpart in TV. In the AKI wrestlinggames everyone was blocky, cartoony, ugly and unrealistic. Little details like the rants of the wrestlers, authentic Nitro and nWo music in the main menu made this game unique in this genre And these secret wrestlers in form of a santa, bear or ghost was funny trash back than. I still love these through. One thing that keeps me from 10 points is that there are too few match types and no real title matches. The AKI games on the N64 could do better in that respect. Apart from that, a very underrated masterpiece which very few have ever really understood. WCW and nWo4LIFE!"

[4.0] "Didn't really care too much for this game growing up. It was crap compared to War Zone that came out a few months later. Just didn't really play it too much."
