Gameplay

The game features both singleplayer and multiplayer game modes, with multiplayer being available through the Game Boy Advance Gamelink cable. The singleplayer game modes have a variety of match types including Exhibition, Gauntlet, Season, King of the Ring, Royal Rumble, Iron Man, and Pay Per View. Due to memory and roster limit restrictions, the Royal Rumble game mode is limited only to a maximum of 24 participants, compared to the average of 30 in its real-life variant. The season mode is incredibly similar to career modes found in other sports and wrestling games alike, which involves the player choosing a wrestler and building their career with the end goal of reaching WrestleMania, WWE's premier event of the year. Every week the player is subjected to various matches against the other competing wrestlers on the roster.

The game received "mixed" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[1]

gollark: The idea is that if my server failed, skynet clients could just swap over to another one.
gollark: Log syncing would break things.
gollark: Huh, I have no idea what just happened but it seems like my WiFi connection fixed itself: I'm getting a sensible TX/RX bitrate, latency is sensible and my bandwidth jumped by a factor of 10?
gollark: It's not about load balancing, the Rust version is waaay faster so that isn't an issue, it's for if (when...) my server goes down.
gollark: Trees don't leave very much room for redundancy, that's the thing.
