The foundation for Survivor Series is definitely a sound one, as Natsume reused that nifty little engine from Road to Wrestlemania X8 that pieces together body parts together to form a wrestler's entire form. There are 16 wrestlers to choose from, including John Cena, The Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Randy Orton, and Shawn Michaels, as well as Rob Van Dam, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Kane, Chavo Guerrero, Christian, John Cena, Edge, and Booker T, and like the last THQ wrestler there's a huge assortment of venues and options to play. Link cable support for four players (multiple cartridges)įor THQ's third wrestling go-round on the Game Boy Advance, the company offers up a "rivalry" of sorts between Raw and Smackdown, giving players the ability to assume the role of a character in either league and work their way through the rankings by fighting and becoming more popular, with the popularity ranking simply coming from the player's ability to utilize every single move in that wrestler's arsenal.and winning the match.
The overall production is still a better than average wrestler, but Survivor just drops a ranking for simply being recycled product. It wouldn't have been so bad had the game at least been updated even just a little, but even the weird little design quirks of the original game have remained intact, including some overlooked issues that make it possible to beat certain matches in mere seconds. “The character graphics aren’t nearly as realistic or as colorful as the introductory portraits, so the inclusion of any famous names is pretty much meaningless.” (Frank Provo, 2002) With this stated, the structure and the ideology on the imagery of the game didn’t match on the GameBoy as it did on Playstation which therefore focuses my lens on the structuralism of the games imagery and setting to deem it a bad game.So, after wrestling took a two year break on the Game Boy Advance, all THQ managed to do was take its existing (and admittedly solid) GBA title Road to Wrestlemania X8, switch out its roster for a more updated line-up of wrestlers, shift in a new game structure, and call it Survivor. Due to the game being illustrated on PlayStation first, the introduction on the cover was deemed false advertising which caused a stir when viewers would purchase the game and expected a realistic setting. By achieving this I’ve collected data about the game and structured them to help understand why this was deemed the worst out of WWE games published. So I have researched about Legends of WWE ll as if I am playing the game and what meaning I take of it through textual analysis. What is textual analysis? – Textual Analysis, Digital Games, Zombies Diane Carr I have structured my analytical framework around structuralism and textual analysis to depict the Legends of Wrestling ll” on the technology piece GameBoy and creating an analysis about the game as played. “Legends of Wrestling ll” on GameBoy Advance was deemed the worst WWE game of all time due to its picturing and lag on the game. So when thinking of analysing a ‘bad’ game I tend to think about GameBoy due experiences on the device and reviews on it. Described as ugly, clunky, and just plain awful, the game proved to be a train wreck.”. “The Game Boy Advance version was by far the lowest-rated WWE game of all time.
