If you walked into a shop and you had the choice of either a Beat 'em up game or a Wrestling game which one would you choose?
Beat 'em ups and Wrestling games both involve kicking the hell into your opponent but when you look back at the games they look and play totally different.
Beat 'em ups offer:
* A huge selection of moves
* Many arena's that completely differ to one another
* Fast paced fighting
* A vast selection of characters
* Now 3D levels (as seen in Tekken 4)
* A short 1 player adventure mode
* And a few mini-games that add in a good laugh
Where as,
Wrestling Games offer:
* A vast ammount of realistic moves unlike beat 'em ups, for instance when you kick someone they fly about 5 foot in the air.
* A huge selection of real life characters (about 45 - 50)
* Different arena's and backstage areas that interact with the wrestlers. (However this is beginning to happen with beat 'em ups as seen in Dead or Alive 3)
* Season mode or other variations of one player modes
* Create-a-wrestler
* Loads of different match types rather than just the odd few seen on beat 'em up games.
* Amazing video entrances and other fmv's
My point to all this is that wrestling games are usually marked down to scores of around 7 or 8 whereas Beat 'em games usually get top scores of 9's and 10's. However, when you take both game genre's and compare them with one another you can clearly see that wrestling games offer more than beat 'em ups but yet achieve a lower score.
I've played both WWE Wrestlemania X8 for the gamecube and WWE Raw for the x-box and to be honest I had more fun on these two wrestling games than on top scoring games such as Tekken Tag Team and Dead or Alive 3.
What do you think?
P.S For all of you wrestling fans this will be an exiciting few days as both Wrestlemania X8 and Raw are both released this Friday.
Who do you think will succide. Gamecube or X-box???

If you liked No Mercy, go play Fire Pro Wrestling.
It rules.
It rules.
Heh, I just whipped you at Tekken 4 Elliz :P
The only wrestling game I ever need is WWF No Mercy. That and Soul Calibur.
I usully button bash when I don't know what I'm doing and always seem to find some special move!
Wrestling though, is it the biggest pile of crap in the world?
Yes!
It's just so bad, it's boring and stupid!

Stress, Stress, Stress and by the way there is more skill to it than bashing random buttons. That's probably why you loose everytime you play a beat 'em up or wrestling game.
Well Nath, we all have our own opinions dont we.
Well Sam, I much prefer my Tekkens Over my Smackdowns but then again I aint all that keen about beat 'em ups. It's just Wrestlers seems OTT lacking...
Hey, I had to include that console war touch somewhere. Dont you just find it a coincidence that they are both releasing on the same day. Rather strange if you ask me.
