Anyone ever get into the Legend of Wrestling series?
When those games came out I got really behind them since I thought they would create healthy competition for the Smackdown games. However, they just never..really knew what the hell they were doing. All of the games felt rushed and incomplete. The second game had an amazing season mode that I felt really allowed new comers to legends wrestling to learn about territories, famous rivalries and tag teams, etc. When the last installment of the game came out, they scratched that shit out for some crappy career mode. The only thing this games ever got right was the roster. The roster for the last game Showdown was amazing..From Harley Race to Sting. The create a wrestler sucked ass but had some highlights that fans have been begging for from SVR for a while..the ability to edit and create new attires, name recognition for entrances, etc.
Anyone else ever get into those games?

I loved the season mode in LOW 2, as well as all the different attires for each wrestler. Too bad the game was practicaly unplayable.

It was also a huge pain to unlock any wrestler in that game.

I wish a better developer got their hands on the LoW 2 engine. The concept is great, since you can chain assloads of moves together and reverse pretty much anything with a single button press. The problem comes from it being developed by Acclaim. They couldn't make a good game if their lives depended on it, back in their dying days.

I mean, you could chain a powerbomb into a liontamer, for fuck's sake.

Yeah LOW had some good eliments too it but the overall product was somewhat of a let down. The chain reversals were amazing and the cage matches were so much better than anything the Smackdown series had.

Yeah, that was the other thing. The ring announcer system was fucking awesome. there were like 300 first and last names each that the guy would say individually and like 150 nicknames, so you could get just about any name called out during your intro. I made a Johnny Bravo CAW (pretty accurate too) and the guy actually called out "weighing in at 250 lbs, JOHNNYYYYYYYY BRAVOOOOOO". So awesome.

Does that happen in all the LOW games or just 1 or 2 of them? I've seriously never tinkered with CAW in any of the 3 games.

Also, that is a pretty nifty CAW feature. I'm still astonished that SmackDown!: Shut Your Mouth featured this for CAW's (create a wrestler, say, Dreamer for instance, and they have this option called "Call Name" or something, and there's a HUGE shit ton of names of actual guys you can choose from that apparently Fink will call out), but it got dropped after that game. It was an awesome added touch for CAW's that should definitely be brought back to SvR. I mean, to a certain extent, it was for a while, except it was just wacky nicknames and first names only. If they'd fix how it is in SvR '10 for the upcoming SvR '11 game where the ring announcers can actually call your CAW by a preset actual wrestlers' name, that would be awesome. But I digress. *SIGH*

Well, they have 3 parts to the call name. Lots of generic real first and last names, more well known names and some random obscure names in there for good measure. Like if you wanted to make a triple H caw, Triple is a first name and H is a last name.

I think I'll buy LoW II when I go to EB today to get a new WoW card, as that was without a doubt the best one though the gameplay kinda sucked for all of them for the most part, any games in perticular I should get for PS3/360?

OK, that seems sensible enough. I always worry that having it implemented like that would possibly lead to an awkward pause in the ring announcer's introduction when he got to the name. Not that it matters in the LoW games, as no matter how high-quality audio equipment you might run the sound through, you can't really make out what he's saying all that well.

Mine to. I've been waiting for the SmackDown series to do it ever since. SvR seems to be doing the exact opposite and giving us less and less names each year.

I agree, that shit needs to be back to the way it used to be. And as I said before, ideally I'd like to see it implemented in a similar, albeit improved way as SD!: SYM did. You went under the profile info and there was a thing called the call name, which was how Howard Finkel would introduce your CAW. You'd pick a name from a set list, and they'd all be actual current and/or recent past WWE (and maybe a couple of other promotions, don't remember for sure...) wrestlers.

There's a reason for it this year tho. The announcers have specific dialog pertaining to each name (eg "Angel's gonna fly"!) and the audience chants are also specific.
