Rumble Roses is definitely a must
Terryfan1 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
If you ever wanted to play a wrestling video game with the whole roster is only women then Rumble Roses is the game you are looking for.

Konami and Yuke's join forces to create this unique game.

Like all wrestling games the object is to win by pin fall or submission by performing various moves to help you in your quest to victory.

The game graphics are amazing as the women in the game look like they motion capture wrestlers to make them lifelike and they make the entire effort worth while as each wrestler looks amazing. The arenas look great as well especially with the crowd looking like actual fans instead of the normal look we are use to.

The music in the game play definitely fits the feel along with each wrestler's theme song. Also it is worth mentioning that each wrestler has a Babyface or Heel persona that gives them different themes along with different appearances to match their heel and babyface.

The Story mode allows each wrestler to be apart of the game as we learn more about the tournament each wrestler was invited to. However this is where some of the game hurts as the voice acting most characters feel lazy while some get better dialogue. It just feels like they just took whatever work the voice actors could give and run with it. Due to that it feels half baked.

Also the controls in the game take some time to learn as things are not exactly what you would expect in a wrestling game it was again like they were running with what they had as you have to press a button code to get the game to play.

The gameplay allows for unique wrestling moves that make WWE games look soft.

Overall Rumble Roses while has it flaws can't not be missed and would be a interesting game to have to play

I give Rumble Roses an 7 out of 10.

The Wrestling Version Of Dead Or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball ........
Honesticedragon6910 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The Cons= First and foremost I feel that this game's Biggest Sin above all else is that it Extremely Sexualizes Women in a really Hug way and I mean that in both the Figurative and Literal way. Mostly in the Breasts area I mean seriously every women in this game has a Size C-Breasts or Higher Breast Size. The animators even animated those things Bouncing in every Single Cut Scene, and in During Every Single Match if memory serves that they get.

Moving on it would be Nice to Get Not Only More Modes but also more Match Styles as the only Game Modes that I could Remember Getting, are your standard Story, Singel Player, Two Player (Not Too Sure about that one) and of course some kind of Bio Mode where the Main Purpose of that is Watching Your Selected Character that you want to 'Read Bio' on Being Sexualized Up Close. As your Chosen Character would Move and Pose in a Extremely Suggestive and Sexual way while you are in that Mode and Hopefully Reading the character's Bio.

All of the women are also always looked as though they are covered in Permeant unwastable Babay Oil, no matter what. I think the characters of Mistress Spencer who as the name suggest is a Dominatrix and Evil whose 'Outfit' and I use that term very loosely is just constates of a Skimpy Red Body Suit with Devil Horns. In addition, the only part of her Hot Air Balloon Sized Breasts that is Covered are her Nipples. I swear her Breasts are at least a 38-K Sized. And Yasha who's Outfit is Basically a Stocken Clade One Piece See-Through Bathing Suit even though she is supposed to be a Ninja. I think the most Constrictive one is Makoto Aihara who just has a Full on Normal Marital Arts Outfit, and I would say that Stasa A's Outfit are all Pretty High Up there as well. Even she can't escape the Sexualization, of course all of these women that I have just mentioned applies to the Bio Menu as well (Duh.)

It was like this game was made for Certain Kind of Men By a Certain Kind of Men I just wished they made some kind of effort to also try to attract the women gamers as well. Some of us women are also in to Wrestling as well you know? If You Smell what The Rock Cooking?

And playing Video Games which makes this a sort of a missed opportunity in My Book. It's like making all of the Female Characters in your Comic Book Not Only Hug Breasted Types but also they are nothing more then just Eye Candy, by not having any of them being Neither Heroes or Villains which is what this Game Feels like. It's funny Konami who was one of the Developers that made this game also made Yu Gi Oh Literally my Favorite Card Game By The Way, the reason they are Smart enough to Tune Down on the Sexuality on all of their Female Yu Gi Oh Card Artworks and not just Artworks but also all of the Female Characters on Every Yu Gi Oh Anime as well Smart Job on those Parts Konami not so much with this game I'm afraid. Why? Konami Why? Again A Missed Opportunity Konami A Missed Opportunity.

That's about all of the Game Modes that I could Remember, and sore Match Modes the only ones that I could Remember having are your Standard Normal Match, Mud Match and maybe Tag (If memory serves) and that's about all for both. Speaking of Mud Matches I just feel the Mud in the Mud matches where always way Too Slick and too smooth looking. It doesn't even close to Mud not even in colour as to me it looked to Light for the Colour of Mud, and Not Rough at all. And that's not the only thing I feel the at the Mud just Comes off the Women Way Too Easly and Way Too Often. It's like all these Women needs to do is just get up just after being knocked down, and any and all mud that was stuck on them would just slide off like some kind of a Silk Beach Towel. You know what this game reminds me of? Well just like my Subject Title this game really reminds of the Wrestling Version of DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball as they both Extremely Sexualize Women under the Disguise of a Sports Game. But the only Deference is it's in a Wrestling Form instead of a Beach Volleyball Form.

Now we get to the gameplay itself oh where to start? I guess I'll start with the In Game Character Desings, although Fine in Desing Wise. But when it comes to the movements there's something about it feels Stiff and almost Barbie Doll Like, but with bendable elbows and knees especially when it comes to the Kicking and Stomping which in a way it makes it not Fun to Play. Then there are the Grunts, Groins and Screams for each women as they all feels the same no matter who you chose, and not only that but also they always recycle from 'Oh's' and 'Ah's' randomly and in random intervals, such as "Oh, oh, ah, oh" or "Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, ah," with the rare occasion of "Ouch" pending of course. But one thing that always remains the same are the 'Oh's' and Ah's'. With the rare occasion of "Ouch's" as I have just said. Even with 30 Playable Characters to Play around with it just doesn't feel enough as I Personally got Bord rather Easily after Beating Story Mode with all of them. Unless I'm missing anything else that should do it for the Cons.

The Pros= Now you maybe asking if it is this Bad why didn't I give it a 1 Star? Well quit simply Believe it or not this Game does have a few not much just a Few Pros. Starting with the Story Mode was so Out of this World that it not only Feels Like An Anime but I also want some kind of an Anime Based on this Game Despite my Opinions in the Cons especially with the Sexualization of women in this Game. But that's not the only reason another is that all of the Cut Scenes Both Look and Feel like it could be an Anime. Then Next is that I just Loved the Idea of Having the Choice of playing Either The Face (Good) or The Heel (Good) Version of each character, excluding Lady X who just has one Personality. And that's not all I also like how every Character Alternate Names to go along with their Alternate Personalities. Such as Miss Spencer's Alternate Personality is of course Mistress Spencer, and Lady X's Alternate Personality is Lady X Substance, and finally Bloody Shadow's Personality is Judgement and so on and so fourth.

The last reason why I Pro that I could think of is I think that all of their Entrances are so Phenomenal and Flashy and Unique. And we also can't forget about all of the Entrance Songs for each Wrestler they are great, combined together I think they Fit Really well and Perfectly with each Wrestler's Personality and Gimmick. And it's all because of these Pros that I have chosen to Ignore all of the Cons and just play it for what it is, and besides I already Bought the Game so I mind as well play it every once and while. As Platforms like YouTube and Twitch and what have you didn't Exist Back Then or at least I wasn't aware of them, we are so lucky these days having platforms those to make our judgment before buying the game. And unless I'm forgetting anything else that should do it.

Final Thoughts= Now I haven't played Rumble Roses XX for the X Box 360 but from what I could tell from Screen Shoots and Video Clips it's about the same, as this Rumble Roses Game. But with the Addition Half Naked and Slightly Sexualized Men only two from what I saw from the Screen Shoots on Google Images. And Finally this is the Only Game that I know of that Came with Not Only The English Version of the Instruction Book But also the French Version of the Instruction Book.
