WWF in Your House
Reviewed by Jeremy Peeples
WWF In Your House was released in late 1996 for the Sega
Saturn. This game is the sequel to the previous year's game,
WWF Wrestlmania: The Arcade Game.
Midway, the developers of Mortal Kombat, developed it,
Acclaim distributed it. This game features 10 WWF wrestlers.
This game features an updated roster and personalized stages
for the wrestlers.
Graphics-10/10- The large, digitized wrestlers are all very
well animated (almost all of the wrestling moves are
perfect) and the game never slowed down (even with 4 of the
larger wrestlers on-screen at once), truly an amazing feat.
Pros- Large characters. Well animated wrestlers.
Cons- Minor amounts of slowdown.
Sound-9/10- The theme music is decent enough, it's not of
the best quality, but it gets the job done. The in-game
commentary is amazing, the commentators provide witty
comments that rarely repeat. The sound effects are
exceptional, they all fit their actions.
Pros- Great commentary. Sound effects fit.
Cons- Theme music is disappointing.
Control-8/10- The button taps are a lot like Mortal Kombat
(this can be a good or bad thing depending on your
preference), personally I like it and it really suits this
game well,the controls are very crisp and accurate most
moves can be done very easily,however some of the more
complex moves (mostly trademark moves) cannot be.
Pros- Super-responsive controls.
Cons- The game's more complex moves can be a pain to execute.
Gameplay-8/10- This game features a ton of unique and crazy
moves that are good for a laugh. Among them are the
Undertaker's Jumping Chokeslam, and the British Bulldog's
bite attack.
Pros- Crazy moves.
Cons- The gameplay is too shallow.
Challenge-6/10- The difficulty level in the game is
adjustable. The only real difficulty in the game comes from
the cheap AI patterns of some of the wrestlers.
Replay Value-3/10- Once you have seen all of the moves and
won the title there really is not any reason to play, this
is the game's only serious shortcoming.
Overall-6/10- The game has great graphics, sound and
control. The gameplay may seem shallow, but it's very
addictive, at least for a short period of time.
Rent or Buy?-Buy- Buy this game if you see it for a good
price (under $15) it is very unique and is a game purchase
that few will regret.
Final Thought- If you're a wrestling fan looking for a quick
fix, and you don't mind that it's a five year old game, buy it.
