    This game has it all. Good graphics, game play, and a better story line then the other wwe games. I would req. this game to anyone who love wrestling games or on tv.

    This game has it all - its ups and its downs. The path of champion was very disappointing with no interacting just doing it to get the extra characters and was very difficult in places. All the matches available are a plus and it has brilliant entrances and graphics!! Overall, this game is great but the controls can be difficult! The audio is also very poor.

    I just really love this game. There are loads of wrestlers to use and a few to unlock. The match types are cool, no matter what people say, the gameplay is great. I really like the Path of a Champion mode.

    WWE Wrestlemania x8 is a very cool game.You can even choose path of a champion and battle for the belts.This game even has the Hardy boys up there. Its the best wwe game there is for Gamecube besides WWE Day of reckoning 2.

    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.

    Ratings have cooled and Stone Cold had some run-ins with John Law. This is irrelevant, as wrestling games always sell. [Feb 2003, p.96]

    As good of a wrestling games as I have seen for any next generation console. In fact it is quite a bit better than most. However if Yuke's would implement their older grappling system, this game would have been unstoppable.

    Almost a wrestling fan's dream come true. But there's one thing that's keeping it from achieving greatness: the incredibly dull Create-A-Superstar mode. [August 2002, p.137]
