    Played it years ago and rebought it on my Xbox One. Admittedly, it has aged well, but with sloppy controls, borderline endless grinding, and clipping issues, it’s not a game I would recommend unless you love scantily clad women (and who doesn’t?). The gameplay is decent, but I would wanna see a lot more effort if Konami plans to revive this series.

    The computer cheats; it can reverse your attacks the second you press the button to make them. Attacks and grapple attempts consistently visibly pass through the opponent without connecting.

Attacks and grapple attempts consistently visibly pass through the opponent without connecting. The computer can and will stunlock you for several minutes at a time. In tag team matches, the AI's partner will routinely run into the ring to break pins and holds but your partner will just stand in their corner and watch you lose if you're being held, and if the AI's partner decides to hang around in the ring afterwards don't expect your partner to do anything whatsoever. Considering these are basic issues that occur very consistently, and since this is the same developer and even the same engine as the SVR series which does not suffer from these issues, I can only conclude that this game was not playtested at all. This lack of effort from the developer means the game receives a zero, which is sad because the game is actually fairly entertaining despite being unfair, but I'm not about to reward a lack of effort from a developer. (And speaking of the SVR series, anyone complaining about the clothing in this game has clearly never seen any of the WWE games. The Rumble Roses characters wear, on average, several times more clothing than the characters in the WWE games.)… Expand

    Shallow, with very poor controls. Save your money for a SmackDown! game, where you can make your own hottie and enjoy a quality wrestling engine.

    Just a horrible game. The controls are really bad. The graphics look like xbox. I would not buy this game if someone gave me the money! If you want a fighting game get DOA4!

    I'm reading the reviews after playing Rumble Roses and thinking what? This game is absolutely horrible. If you played any other type of fighting game, DOA4, Fight Night3 and then put this in you will be extremely disappointed. This is sooo slow and you never feel in control of the character. If you want T&A for $60 bucks then buy a magazine instead. This game is trash.

    Rumble Roses on the PS2 is a game that if given a chance could satisfy both those after a decent wrestling game and those who just want a game to get reactions out of there friends. Whilst being bizarre and overly sexual the game still had some depth and solid mechanics that made it perfect.

    Dropping the well established developer for this 360 sequel really put the death sentence on this game. It looks better has a few added modes to have a laugh about with your friends, but gone is the core gameplay that made Rumble Roses more than your cheap wrestling knock off.

    Not only has the legitimate move set been stripped down, but the controls are horrible. Even if you could forgive that the actual wrestling moves are gone, you would have no chance to fully comprehend how to actual play the game.

    It's a case of instead of adding nice visuals and few more features, for what ever reason any playability from the original was stripped down (no pun intended) to leave a game that couldn't possibly appeal to anyone looking for a playable wrestling or even fighting game.    … Expand

    Le jeu japoniais… non, j’exagère là : ce n’est pas niais, c’est un vrai jeu de pervers pour otaculs ! très bien réalisé et avec de belles animations (!…) même si les menus et leur présentation perfectible sont d’une rare laideur. C’est quand même une espèce de « vrai » jeu par rapport aux DOA Extreme Beach Volley de Tecmo, les combats de catch étant bien plus « techniques » que de simplesLe jeu japoniais… non, j’exagère là : ce n’est pas niais, c’est un vrai jeu de pervers pour otaculs ! très bien réalisé et avec de belles animations (!…) même si les menus et leur présentation perfectible sont d’une rare laideur. C’est quand même une espèce de « vrai » jeu par rapport aux DOA Extreme Beach Volley de Tecmo, les combats de catch étant bien plus « techniques » que de simples parties de volley ou autres mini-jeux plus ou moins idiots.

    Cela étant, on est loin du jeu de baston traditionnel qui procure au moins un amusement immédiat. La prise en main… est lourde, les commandes inutilement compliquées (traduction pour les fans : c’est technique lolilol) et le jeu est lent, très lent. Et pour se rincer l’oeil avec le mode photo puisque c’est là le but premier, il faut enchaîner les combats comme un stakhanoviste ou un salary man japonais.

    Bref, c’est rigolo un temps mais forcément très répétitif et disons-le, carrément… parfois vulgaire… il manque peut-être un dernier x à ce jeu pour qu’il atteigne euh… des sommets ! mais en l’état, c’est trop lourdingue en fait.    … Expand

    Que juego tan nefasto es este, Una excusa mala solo para ver nenas digitales simulando que luchan entre si, graficos apestosos, música horrible, plantilla de luchadores olvidable, una decepcion para todo aquel fan real de los juegos de lucha, quieres un juego donde ver tetas o culos y a la vez ser un excelente juego de lucha prueba Dead or Alive

    It's thorny, to be sure, and the caveat remains: handle these roses with care. [Apr 2006, p.59]

    If you're looking for some quick and easy fun, it's here. However, if you're looking for some depth in the wrestling engine, you'll need to wait for a next generation "Smackdown."

    Rumble Roses XX introduces a few positives into the original game's formula, but too much of the content feels recycled, and the game's sense of sexuality is still rather unseemly.
