- Great fun but could have been much better
THQ have produced without out a shadow of a doubt created the greatest wrestling games of all time from WCW Revenge to the WWF Smack down series, so when I heard that they where to produce yet another grappling I jumped for, especially since it was for the Dreamcast. With the WWF license and offering up to 9 players on the screen at once WWF Royal Rumble, had me watering at the mouth, with the its smooth 128bit graphics not even with a hint graphical slow down or even pop up. So how could this game fail to deliver... well let me tell you.
Royal Rumble has lushes graphics, some of the best the Dreamcast has ever seen and a great pick up and play sense about it, as there is not many menus or options to fiddle with before you start playing, this is unfortunate because of the lack of time and effort put into this game. There is only two modes of play challenge and the Royal Rumble itself.
Challenge has you battling against ten computer characters with difficulty rising as you progress, before you start grappling you must choose your character and a ringside partner. You are then giving a choice of three move sets to choose from, these are either double team moves for you and your partner to pull off or just a single move for your partner to do by himself, these are activated by pressing a button combination, which will take time to get used to at first to be able to quickly press A+B while beating your opponent into the ground. The Royal Rumble option has you grappling against one hundred wrestlers in succession, which isn't an easy task, especially since this time you have no one to watch your back as its all for one as nine beefy men attempt to chuck each other out of the ring. Aldo at first this is a great laugh and a great way to save money on barber bills as many a times you find yourself almost beating your record but then tragedy strikes and your hit from behind with a flying clothesline and knock out of the ring, very dramatic. But this sort of mayhem has limited lifetime and will get tiresome.
WWF Royal Rumble features eighteen of the WWF's finest, with two secret characters to be unlocked. This can be done in a matter of hours let alone days, so this game doesn't have you continually bashing the buttons to receive dos ever so important rewards of hours of play.
The control system is much like the one used in Smackdown, which makes for fast and furious grappling fun. The all-important finishers are easy to pull off, with a touch of the L button; so that there is none of the stupid Street Fighter seventeen button combination to be learned.
WWF Royal Rumble could have been great but it just doesn't make the mark for it's sheer limited lifetime, but because a lot of people will miss out on the great fun to be had even if it is for a week or two, so buy it if you have got money to burn, but you could do a lot worse with your money.

- Even WWF fans will hate this game
This game has to be the worst WWF game ever made. Not just because of the really limited number of wrestlers available but the actual game modes available. Just 2 (TWO) match types to choose from.
The first choice is the Royal Rumble itself, where you have to eliminate 30 other wrestlers (not 30 in total, YOU have to eliminate 30). Bearing in mind there are only about a dozen wrestlers to choose from this means you are chucking out the same wrestlers 3 or 4 times each (while being attacked by 3 or 4 at once and not being about to attack the one you want to).
The other match type is even worse. First off it isn't even a match that has ever actually taken place in the WWF. A match where each person has someone on the outside - fair enough. But being allowed to attack the opponent when called has never happened. And what method of changing location does it use ? Throwing through a door like SmackDown? No. Alien Abductions. The match goes as normal, until for no apparent reason some lights start flashing, the wrestlers look around in confusion and the screen goes white, and the next thing you know they are fighting backstage or somewhere!
Don't waste your money on this game - either a PlayStation 1 or 2 and get SmackDown 2, or rent this game and then you will get SmackDown 2.

- Different!!!!!!!
This game cannot be reviwed after a quick play and cannot fairly be compared to wrestling games on any other platforms. I personnaly own smackdown and have played wrestlemainia on the N64 and they of course are better. However, this is a good game. If you like wrestling and especially if you like the royal rumble then this is a must title. The only annoying thing is the fact you cannot always face the wrestler you wamnt to fight so you might end up fighting vince Mcmahon when you really want to be laying the smackdown on the rock. Also be warned if you are not a hardened wrestling fan then the royal rumble mode in single player will become annoying (it's not just that 30 wrestlers have to be eliminated it's the fact that 30 wrestlers have to be eliminated by you), this proves a stumbling block as a royal rumble can take a long time.
HOWEVER i may not rave that this is the best wrestling game ever but find yourself a second hand copy... and you have yourself a bargain. Get some friends round and you have yourself a party.
whatever you do compare it to WWF Attitude and not smackdown, this is the only way to do the game justice.
Play it, have fun, trade it and let someone else have a go.
Rating: - DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON THIS!
My brother bought this game pretty much as soon as it came out and it has to be the smallest game I have ever played. It's pathetic, you have the wide choice of about 12 characters, you suddenly get flashed outside the arena for no apparent reason, the nine player inteference is totally useless, you get wide choice of roughly 6 moves (give or take 6) therefore all you do is punch, there is no story line mode, and there is no special matches just 1on1 with your chum outside but every 10 or so matches you may get a cage match! Sound good?! The graphics are good...ish but it is not smooth. Buy MS-R or sumink don't buy this. But if you do buy it......buy it from amazon.(don't though)A truly pathetic game. If I could put no stars I would Thankyou for your time.
