WCW Backstage Assault
SCORE: 58
We played WCW Backstage Assault in one of our retro video game live
streams recently. That piece of the live stream was transformed into a
video for our video sites. By the time this review is online the video
for WCW Backstage Assault should be on our website. We were not
impressed with WCW Backstage Assault on the Nintendo 64. WCW Backstage
Assault can also be found on the original Playstation.
I understand that WCW Backstage Assault is an older game on the Nintendo
64 and Playstation. This game still looks really bad. The character
models are plain ugly. I know there are better looking games from this
era. The issues families will have with WCW Backstage Assault are lack
of attire, enticement to lust, bad language, violence, and more. The
focus on WCW Backstage Assault is to fight in different areas and to use
some of the weapons.
The controls in WCW Backstage Assault are a bit confusing to figure out
at first. We had a variety of issues within WCW Backstage Assault like
learning how to pin. The collision detection within WCW Backstage
Assault is extremely suspect. Who would hit when both are swinging a
weapon seemed entirely random. Or one animation would start and then
skip into the other one. WCW Backstage Assault is a complete mess in so
many regards.
WCW Backstage Assault is light on wrestlers and light on modes. There
are numerous characters that can be unlocked within WCW Backstage
Assault. If you are not familiar with WCW from that era then you may not
know many of the unlockable characters within WCW Backstage Assault. I
felt like WCW Backstage Assault received the fingerpoke of doom in the
development stages. I am not too sure what they were going for.
If you thought only new wrestling video games were bad then you need to
check out WCW Backstage Assault. This game will show you that doing the
Monday Night Wars there were bad wrestling games too. For me WCW
Backstage Assault is a piece of history. There have been bad video games
released in the physical copy format. Sure it is easier for bad games to
make it to market as digital downloads. Bad video games have been with
us for some time now.
