WWE Velocity features the superstars of the "SmackDown!" brand, including Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Triple H, Kurt Angle, The Hurricane, Billy & Chuck, and Rikishi. It features typically 4 matches, and gives a recap of "SmackDown!". Worth watching, especially if you're one of those unlucky few (such as myself) who don't get UPN, and thus can't see the superstars of the SmackDown! brand. If you watch, catch "WWE Confidential" afterwards, another typically good World Wrestling Entertainment show.

ECW Hardcore Revolution is basically just WWF Attitude, but with altered textures, and different commentary. It does have more match options than Attitude, but other than that the game has little to sell. It's still not a bad game, tho. Worth a rent, don't buy unless you're a huge wrestling mark {like me..}

Surprisingly, ECW Anarchy Rulz {ECW HR's sequel} is a LOT better than Hardcore Revolution, with enhanced graphics and controls. If you can, just get Anarchy Rulz instead.

Before there were the "next gen" wrestling titles such as WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF titles SmackDown! and WrestleMania 2000, there was the greatly entertaining game "Pro Wrestling"! This NES game, which is a generic wrestling title {it has no "pro" license, such as WCW, WWF, or ECW}, features the typical 1980's wrestling fare; a masked Mexican wrestler, a self-loving narcessist, and a half-man/half-piranna grappler known only as "The Amazon". The game is highly entertaining, and features a surprisingly large move-set, with each wrestler having his own style. Starman, for instance, has a Cruiserweight, lucha-libre type moveset, while The Amazon has mainly "brawler" type moves. The producers of the game made it a point to give the game nice little details, such as the in-ring ref, the announcers in the background {who don't actually say anything}, and even a camara man on the outside of the ring that moves to keep up with the wrestlers.

In the game, you wrestle your way through the ranks of VWA {or something}, until you win the World title. You then get to contend for the World title of another federation.

The controls are very nice. The game runs on a "grapple" control system {i.e. you initiate a grapple, then push a button or two to do a move}, and is relatively easy to learn.

The game basically has 2 features: 1 player and 2 players. There are only singles matches, no tag team or anything like that. Still, the game has great replay value, and is best when played with a friend {or enemy} on 2 player mode.

Overall, Pro Wrestling provides a very nostalgic look at wrestling games and video games in general. It's poor translation also provided for the absolute best line ever in a video game: "A winner is you!" Buy this game if you can, it's a real gem as far as Old Skool NES games are concerned.
