  1. If you don't have the facility to gather at least two other people to your GameCube, then you will not find much fun in Wrestlemania X8.
  2. 40
    It's one of the better wrestling games available on any platform - except for the one unfortunate flaw that it gets sort of old after only a few hours of gametime.
  3. 40
    The gameplay is just devoid of fun.
  4. Lacks any great game modes, the controls are wacky at times, the AI needs some major work and the name just doesn’t fit.

    I love this game sure it not as good future games on the gamecube .
    The graphics are pretty good.
    The physics are not to good but in my opinion thats what makes the game fun.
    The cage matches are so fun to play.
    You play up to four players local and its really fun.
    You should give this game a try.

    A very poor wrestling game for the Nintendo Gamecube. At least the games that came after this were massive improvements.

    Here are all the major flaws: The graphics were unimpressive, the BGMs did not fit the game at all, the sound was very low quality, the animations were very dodgy, the roster was really disappointing and lacking severely, the create a wrestler was very limited, the AI was awful and the collision detection was terrible.

    The only good things I enjoyed were the decent gameplay, entrances and the persue the belt mode.

    Only get this if you are a hardcore wrestling fan.

But the Path of a Champion is short and there is no need to go through it again when you unlock all of the arenas and the superstars. The Royal Rumble in the exhibition mode is hard to beat.
