Graphics, gameplay, animation, fighting styles, and even menus: everything feels taken from Midway's most tremendous success, which was releasedthree3 years earlier. If you played Mortal Kombat, WWF would be very familiar, basically because the word "copy" is too small for it. Also, although it was only intended as a promotion for the wrestling franchise, the game received good reviews from critics and is well remembered by the public. Originally an arcade, the entry has been distributed on Mega Drive, SNES, PlayStation, Saturn, DOS, and Sega 32X. Midway - the same company that created the Mortal Kombat franchise - developed and published the game in 1995.


Thus, WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game (not to be confused with the 1991 title by Ocean) was born. With this in mind, a company very used to success decided to join their experience in fighting games with this sensation that had been going on for many years. But when they took a break from consoles and decided to watch TV, very few people could deny that they were attracted to WWE (at that time WWF) fights and defended to the death the idea that they were real. It is impossible to deny that many of today's adults grew up with games like Super Mario Bros or Sonic. WWF fans will flock to this house, but most gamers will room with Power Move.WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game is a coin-op created by Midway in 1995. Some maneuvers appear sloppily animated and unpolished, especially when compared to the dynamically detailed holds performed in Activision's Power Move Pro Wrestling (see ProReview this issue). The action is fast and furious, but it usually takes only 20 seconds to defeat an opponent, with moves looking more like Mortal Kombat than the WWF. Disappointingly, some features that were once promised by Acclaim, like the inclusion of that were once promised by Acclaim, like the inclusion of super-model manager Sunny and the ghost of Andre the Giant, are not in the game. The most mat-tastic new option is the four-player free-for-all, where players rumble in a last-man-standing-wins grudge match. You can wrestle a complete WWF season, or go straight for the gold of the World or Intercontinental title belt. In Your House offers a fistful of features, including 10 of the fiercest World Wrestling Federation superstars from Shawn Michaels to Vader, each with a unique background. The WWF series tumbles off the top rope with WWF: In Your House, a title full of promise and potential that ultimately gets pinned in its quest for the championship.
