WCW Nitro
It's a shame that you can only find a good version of a WCW game on the N64 (i.e, WCW/NWO Revenge). And out of all the WCW titles I've played, this is the absolute worst one. Even 'WCW vs the World' is better! The major problem here is the gameplay mechanics. Reaction time between the pad & what's on-screen is far off. By the time you time you make a punch the opponent has already grabbed you & pile drived your butt. Then you have all the wrestling moves, which require a bunch of goofy button combos to pull off. It's hard enough getting the time down & now you have to remember all the moves. What else can I say? It just isn't fun to play at all. At least the characters look a little more realistic, too bad they animate horribly. Forget this title ever existed.
