WWF War Zone was released in 1998 for Playstation, N64 and Gameboy. With a roster including superstars such as Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Mankind and Kane; War Zone brought the WWF up to date with a full 3D wrestling game, the first in WWF video game history.
War Zone was developed during the dawn of the Attitude Era in 1997 but it was released when the Attitude Era was in full swing. Players could take on the challenge mode to try and become WWF champion, they could set up cage matches and hardcore matches, and for the first time ever fans could create a wrestler and play matches as their creation. Thanks to the data storage capabilities of compact disc, the PS1 version of War Zone featured superstars cutting promos during the challenge mode. Nintendo 64 players got a few bonuses of their own however, an exclusive Royal Rumble mode along with Gauntlet matches.
This video looks at WWF War Zone on PS1, N64 and there's also a very brief look at the GameBoy release.

Glad Acclaim dropped the button bashing grapples from the previous gen WWF games, but changing it to Mortal Kombat type moves was a pain in the arse, having to constantly pause the game to recall how to do even the most basic of stuff. Also, if you hack into the game, you can play as Turok Dinosaur Hunter (though he's really just a reskin of The Rock). he was originally meant to be a unlockable character, but the WWF rejected him. Can't have someone that battles dinosaurs in a wrestling game, that would be far too silly with this roster :D The motion capture always felt like the wrestlers had no weight to them either, like they were just balloon versions of them, you can't un-notice it now >:D

At least to me Attitude didn’t feel quite a clunky as the original while also expanding upon CAC, especially the move list if I remember right. The roster was increased by a lot going from Warzone to Attitude and the season mode personally was done quite a bit better than what was in Warzone. Also had some unlockable characters, which is something. I do not remember, but I think this might be from the ECW reskin of Attitude, but custom arenas was pretty fun for what is was and the somewhat improvement to the settings.

Another interesting thing about the combat system is damage depends on the time limit. Set a match to 30 minutes, and the match can easily push the 10 minute mark before the opponent goes red. In 5 minute matches, the match is over in 3 minutes or less before the opponent is red.

I have extremely fond memories of War Zone on the N64 and it was amazing to have my stepdad create a character and join in made it special. It certainly does not have replay value now-a-days and now that I have an N64 again, I'm introducing my young son to WWF No Mercy and WCW Revenge as it was more or less pick up and play. Wrestling Bios, how did you not show the Ahmed Johnson video? It's unreal!

Warzone was groundbreaking from other past games. The roster could have been bigger like attitude did, I kinda wish it was harder to beat the game though.

Blame the developers. WWF wants new guys to the roster yet the developers fought to keep guys like Bret Hart, British Bulldog and Ahmed Johnson.

@jkat5768 2 года назад

I had the N64 version and the thing I hated most about this version was that it didn't let you select your opponents. Your opponents were chosen for you. That would have made a huge difference as far as long term play value went. I had dreams about matching my creations with each other but thankfully this was possible with Attitude since it let you select your opponents.

@CharlesP2009 Год назад

I feel like 40% of the time the game would match you up against yourself. It was obnoxious. 🤣

My dad bought this when it was released at Christmas on PS1 it was great, I still couldn't understand Ahmed Johnson during his promos even in this game. I used to make a custom character and I used A.J finisher the pearl river plunge I loved that move, loved going up the TV tower and watching the video promos of Owen Hart and HBK etc

I remember first seeing this in Xtravision years ago and rented it immediately. It was great, but World Tour and Revenge were much more fun wrestling games and after you played them it was harder to enjoy Warzone.

@johnt.campbell316 2 года назад

I had this game on PlayStation and LOVED it. I remember it being SO hard, but luckily, playing Mortal Kombat previously prepared me for the button combos. When I played it on N64, I remember being confused by the music being "worse" and how it had the Rumble mode.

20:52 Odd how Kane is listed as smaller than Undertaker in this game. I had the N64 version as a kid, and for some reason I really liked the MIDI rendition of Stone Cold's theme. Listening to it now, it sounds like country music, of all things. lol

@the757general2 Год назад

That's because in real life Kane was only 6'9. War Zone was the only wrestling game that got his correct height.

I was never a huge fan of actually playing War Zone, but it gets full credit for making me fall in love with create-a-wrestler modes. I had never experienced anything like it before and it's been the main draw for me in wrestling games ever since.

@BrolyChan 2 года назад

@reinersoliven2719 2 года назад

Me and my friends absolutely loved this back on high school. DX was incredibly hot at this time, and I would only either choose HHH or HBK, good times. One easter egg that I found funny is at the character bios screen, if you spin the wrestler (R1 or L1 if I remember), he'll eventually get a dizzy animation. Great looking back at this game, cheers!

@rh8560 2 года назад

@jerryancel6944 2 года назад

I think Bulldog was trying to read off of a cue card. He recovers when he gets to the end of it. Also, Bret can cut some good promos! I don't know why he gets so much hate cutting promos, I always thought he did well.

The first thing we did back then was building Vader in the creator. "We all did back in '98" pretty much sums it up. I still get ptsd when I think back on the controls of Warzone and Attitude. I played only the N64 versions

@cyrus2546 2 года назад

I remember being so excited for this game to the point where I cut out pictures of the screenshots from gaming magazines, take them to school and look at them during the day so that I would stop clock watching. Then when it finally came out and my folks got it for me I was so disappointed. I still believe if I hadn’t already played WCW World Tour I would’ve enjoyed this game but that AKI gameplay spoiled me and I couldn’t tolerate Warzone. I traded it in to Funcoland (now called Gamestop) and got WCW Revenge later in the year.

I was in Kindergarten in 97. My dad bought a ps1 and our first game was Crash Bandicoot. I got bored and played the demo disc that came with our playstation and warzone was one of the demo games. You got to be Stone Cold or Shawn Michaels. I loved Stone Cold’s audio while playing and we started watching wrestling. That summer my parents bought me the actual game and I played the hell out of it. This game made me a wrestling fan.

@donovanbradford8231 2 года назад

A cool breakdown and nice history for the wrestling gaming. Recently I tried to get back into War Zone on N64 but didn't have the save pack so sold it for a PS1 and just couldn't finish it, not a great game. Had War Zone on N64, PS1, and WCW World Tour, yet I still wish I had Revenge on the N64 so enough said.

I unironically and unashamedly love this game. It's clunky and awkward, but it was just too much of a treat for someone that was just getting back into wrestling at the time. Also becoming world champion as Freddie Mercury showed what a great feature create-a-wrestler truly is.
