WWE Legends of Wrestlemania was released in 2009 by THQ. Just like the SmackDown games, Legends of WrestleMania was developed by Yukes however the game played VERY differently.
Promising to celebrate the rich history of WrestleMania by allowing players to relive, rewrite and redefine classic 'Mania matches such as Andre The Giant vs Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels and The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin, Legends of WrestleMania had a lot of promise. The Smack Down games had become a little stale around this point and adding a new spin-off game was seen as welcome idea. The problem, however, was that Legends of WrestleMania just wasn't a very good game.
This video takes a look at Legends of WrestleMania and everything that's wrong with the game.

@BitestheStuff 10 месяцев назад

WWE 2K14 is a much better version of this game. Basically, since it was the 30th Wrestlemania, they had a "30 Years of Wrestlemania" mode and each bout would be about either the main event or a major match on the card. Then you got a mode dedicated to the Undertaker's streak where you could defend or defeat the streak. Highly recommend it. I'm not usually too into WWE games. The yearly releases and style of gameplay often put me off the series, but this was a unique entry and a stand-out one at that. Plus, you get an alternate cover, instead of the Rock, you can turn the cover around and have Daniel Bryan be your cover.

@thisisnotachannel 10 месяцев назад

If you like 2k14, I recommend you try WWF '13... it does a similar thing to the "30 Years of WrestleMania" mode, but it focuses on the "Attitude Era"... which itself does cover a few WrestleManias. One of the last truly great wrestling games!

I only ever played this because it was an easy platinum trophy at the time and I still felt cheated. It just feels like a load of ideas that were half baked.

I remember seeing them in PWI back in the day where you’d send off money in the post, fill in a slip with your wrestlers name and moveset but never tried it as it was always in the USA and I was in the UK, so had no idea how it worked…also I was about 12/13 and google wasn’t a thing!
