I know the graphics is not good, the sounds was bad, and lawd knows Nintendo itself kept blinking to play this game, but thats life in the late 80s early 90s with video games. After playing Pro Wrestling you needed an upgrade So Saturday Night Fever came out, but thats the Arcades. AT home Wrestlemania was just okay/ BUT THE FUN FACTOR is when you have all of your friends picking a wrestlers and going through a tournament. MAD FUN. FUN AS HELL. Some of my best time hanging out with the boys....life at 10 years old. Damn fun.
Unworthy of the name...

The Good - There are some decent graphics, with pretty detailed caricatures of the Superstars (but where's the crowd?). Each wrestler has his own completely unique moveset, strength, and speed, so it actually does matter which Superstar you choose as your own. You won't see The Honky Tonk Man slamming Andre the Giant on this game.
The Bad - The gameplay itself is slow and the controls aren't very responsive. The sound (including theme music) is just okay. There aren't any wrestling moves on this game (other than the "bodyslam", which is simply an ugly-looking pick-up and throw-down). The computer is also quite difficult (read: cheap), especially when you face off with stronger characters. In addition, there are only six wrestlers here: Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase, The Honky Tonk Man, and Bam Bam Bigelow.
The Ugly - The "bodyslam", as mentioned. With its emphasis on brawling tactics, power-ups, and the fact that a wrestler only stays down when he is completely out, WrestleMania resembles a second-rate fighting game more than a wrestling game. It's also frustrating to play and probably wouldn't have been a hit if not for the novelty of finally having WWF/E wrestlers on the NES.
Recommendation to avoid.
