Graphics - Pretty good! Each wrestler has their trademark look from Hulk Hogan's yellow trunks and receding hairline, to Papa Shango (aka The Godfather/Goodfather/Kama/Kama Mustafa) and his painted face. The ring is big and vibrant. There are also animated announcers behind the ring (probably Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan as they were the WWF announcing team when this game was released [1993]). There is also a ref in his trademark blue shirt and black slacks (this was the WWF ref uniform back then). And when you win, WWF ring announcer Howard Finkel enters the ring and raises your arm in victory.Sound - There are the trademark grunts and a very active crowd. The music in this game is surprisingly great for a Sega Genesis game The SNES version has much better music (the SNES has a better sound chip and more sound channels than the Genesis), but this is a remarkable effort.
Control - You really need the Genesis 6-button controller for this game. It's much easier with the 6-button controller than the 3-button controller. It controls great!
Playability - You have several modes of play : one-on-one, tag, 6-man tag, and the Royal Rumble. In one-on-one, you can have a one-fall exhibition match wither either 1 or 2 players (in 1 player mode, you can pick the opponent or have the computer pick the opponent), a brawl (match ends when somebody's health meter reaches zero), and tournament (if you beat all 11 opponents, you win the World Wrestling Federation Championship). In tag team mode, you can have 1 player, 2 players competitive, or 2 players cooperative. In 1 player and 2 players "cooperative" modes, you can play in the tournament, and if you beat all 5 opposing teams, you win the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championship! In 6-man tag mode, you can have one player, 2 player competive, or 2 player cooperative...there is no tournament mode in 6-man. Finally, the Royal Rumble match where you must throw your opponents over the top rope without being thrown over the top rope yourself (stay off the turnbuckles because you risk being knocked off the turnbuckle onto the floor, which would eliminate you). There are 12 wrestlers in this game : Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Crush (the babyface "Kona" Crush version), Hacksaw Jim Duggan, "IRS" Irwin R. Shyster (aka Mike Rotundo), "The Model" Rick Martel, "The Narcissist" Lex Luger, The Undertaker, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, Bret "Hitman" Hart, Razor Ramon (aka "Last Call" Scott Hall), and Papa Shango (aka Godfather/Goodfather/Kama/Kama Mustafa).
Overall - A great wrestling game!
