Guest Banky Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Is this any good? Is it worth a damn? Can someone fill me in with the pros and cons. Explain the CAW system, and who can easily be created in it. Thank you.
Guest the 1inch punch Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Simple Answer No But it is fun to have Tom Billington/Eddy Guerrero vs Bret and Owen Matches
Guest razazteca Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 its a rental and not a must buy type of game.
Guest MillenniumMan831 Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Give it an hour and it WILL grow on you. The highlight is the true, blue 8-Man Survivor Series Tag mode with all guys on the screen. Good stuff! Plus, the extra interviews are nothing to sneeze at either.
Guest Karnage Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 I played the first LOW and beat it in like 4 days with Bret Hart. Does LOW2 have more replay value and does the camera still go really far away from the ring when there are more than 2 wrestlers in the match?
Guest Banky Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 How is the create-a-wrestler? Does it have a lot of moves? Does it have a lot of extra stuff to create people like Mr. perfect, Rick Rude, Jake Roberts? How many CAW slots are there?
Guest Banky Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 Honestly! Can anyone give me some tidbits about the game. Is the CAW any good? Is it easy to make other old time stars? How many CAW slots are we given?
Guest Banky Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 Buy it! How about you give me some info on it.
Guest dc_tapes Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 Its been a while since I last played it, but heres what I remember: Pros: Grapply system is pretty fun Nice selection of moves in CAW Lots of Tights, Shirts etc to choose from lots of interviews with the wrestlers (PS2/Xbox only I think) Cons: Limited amount of faces to choose from, and they all look the same You have to earn coins and then "gamble" for other coins to unlock stuff The gambling system might not sound too bad, but I find it frustrating as hell. I'm not sure about the amount of CAW slots since I've only made two guys. It might also depend on which system you have. As far being able to create the guys you mentioned, you might be able to make an accurate body, but the face and hair selection is extremely small so alot of them look the same. Still though, the game is pretty fun.

Guest MillenniumMan831 Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 Half the roster is currently in the WWE The other half has passed away.

Guest El Psycho Diablo Posted April 28, 2003 Report Posted April 28, 2003 I'm still pissed at LOW2. Bastards had the music rip (Xbox ver) in the first one. Then they took it OUT for the second. Probably people complaining that it wasn't "fair" for other consoles.
Guest Zero_Cool Posted April 28, 2003 Report Posted April 28, 2003 Well, one thing I liked about LOW2 was the blood, as sad as it sounds. After beating the shit out of your opponent for a while, you can get them down on the mat and drive weapons into them. The cool thing is that you can make them gig like Muta, and turn the ring red in some places. Cuts actually get worse as you work on them in this game. Yup, that's about it...
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 28, 2003 Report Posted April 28, 2003 Andy Kaufman is cool for like..3 seconds until the crappy voice acting shows up. I haven't played it as much as I thought I would..
Guest Pigsy Posted April 28, 2003 Report Posted April 28, 2003 Personally, I like the game and play it more than the Smackdown games. However, it is flawed and I can understand why some people don't like LoW II. The grapple system is good, IMO. If you've played LoW I you'll know what to expect. The CAW system is limited. You have a limited number of faces (basically one face with different expressions) to choose from. The types of hair are limited (and there's no ponytail which is annoying), but you can change hair colour, shade and brightness. There's a variety of clothes, kneepads, elbowpads, etc. The create-a-stencil feature means you can make your own tattoos, t-shirt logos, face paint, etc. (I don't think this is in all versions, though). You can find some pictures of CAWs here to get an idea of what you can do with the CAW system (it's not my site BTW). There's a decent selection of moves, with some trademark moves, such as the stunner, rock bottom, and pedigree, albeit with different names. Lots of taunts to choose from (if you care). You can get the announcer to announce various names of wrestlers not in the game, such as Rick Rude, Ric Flair, Lex Luger, Cactus Jack and lots of others. I'm not sure how many CAWs you can save, I think it depends on your memory card. At the moment I have seven CAWs, so it's atleast seven. The gambling system for unlocking stuff is annoying, as mentioned previously. The interviews are generally good, although Hacksaw Jim Duggan comes across as a sad man out of touch with reality (but that's just my opinion). There's a more in depth review here.

Thank you for helping me out. I'm gonna try and find it used somewhere...hopefully.
Guest mach7 Posted April 28, 2003 Report Posted April 28, 2003 Buy it! How about you give me some info on it. Dude, I'd rent it first. Honestly. Opinions about video games are different for everyone. You might like this, you might not. If anything, rent it. Because it really depends on the kind of gamer you are. Personall I thought it was a pretty good game. At first it's awkward, but after a while it does grow on you. That said, I haven't touched it since Def Jam Vendetta came out...
thuganomics Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 Legends of Wrestling II is DEFINITELY a rent before you buy it kind of thing. Some people love it, some people hate it. My best friend despises the games control system, but I think its good, albeit a wee bit clunky. If Def Jam Vendetta had a CAW I'd so recommend that instead *SIGH*
Guest IllustriousOne Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 If Def Jam Vendetta had a CAW I'd so recommend that instead That's practically a no brainer. DJV kicks the ass of every wrestling game out for the PS2 at this given moment. Fact is, it's No Mercy on speed minus a CAW feature. And honestly, because it had no CAW feature, I didn't buy it.
