ECW Anarchy Rulz: The Video Game

[Deleted]

The latest episode of Joe Gagne's Funtime Pro Wrestling Arcade is up, and he ends up talking about the sequel that is as much fun as a lobotomy using a cement drill.

Also, HATE MATCH!

[Deleted]

These arcade things are the most fun in the world.

This was the first wrestling game I bought. It seemed like a great game at the time. I still don't dislike it that much, but I may be clouded by nostalgia.

Was it this one, or the other one, that was basically the same engine as WWF warzone/Attitude but with ECW drafted in?

It featured the lamest inferno match ever.

Both of the ECW games ran off that Warzone engine, but Anarchy Rulz was the game with the "the floor is lava" match

What was the Hate match?

I loved thus game, but I loved anything vaguely wrestling related when I was that age.

This game also had an octagon-esque cage match...y'know, cuz ECW had matches like that all the time.

Rob Feinstein and Gabe Sapolsky were in a video game?

From what it sounds like in the video, basically a 3 on 1 handicap gauntlet match.

I used to own this game when I was younger, I wasn't even a fan of ECW (I tried watching it once or twice but it usually overlapped with the last hour of RAW and I found the production values too crappy) but I got it because it was wrestling.

It was very crummy compared to Smackdown 2

[Dean-o]

Man, this game looks horrible.

Then again, WWF Warzone & Attitude have aged very poorly as well.

[Deleted]

I rented this game and it was horrible.

[celticjobber]

I never had this game, even though I enjoyed the other Acclaim wrestling games. I guess I was too occupied by WWE Wrestlemania 2000 and Smackdown at the time.

[thetower52]

i i have both the ecw games
they suck but i can still have fun with them

[Deleted]

I remember playing Attitude one time when my brother rented it, just because I could play as Dr. Death Steve Williams.

I swore to myself I would never get that game, it was terrible and complicated.

ECW comes out with Hardcore Revolution and I just had to have it. And I put it in and...

Ugh.

[Totorob101]

It was awful, the barbed wire matches were unplayable from what i rememeber, and the inferno match was pathetic, as a kid i thought there was something wrong with my game when i threw a guy out into the lava and he didnt burst into flames or something.

2 video games 6 months from each other, the tnn deal, a full color magazine.
It definitely was too much for ecw, no wonder paul couldnt pay the wrestlers their paychecks, all that money getting drained.

Didn't have Taz or Sabu in this one. Did have Sandman. Wasn't as charming as the original I feel.
