Rumble Roses
■ Developer: yuke’s ■ platform: playstation 2 ■ Year: 2004
This PS2 game features a variety of fictional female wrestlers, and trades very heavily on sex appeal – the camera is always close up so you can get a good view of the detailed character models grappling. The game is actually rather well constructed, but offers little long-term appeal beyond the story mode. That said, we like the fact that the wrestlers all have different gimmicks depending on whether they’re face or heel.
