"WWE WrestleMania X8" is a professional wrestling video game released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2002. It is based on the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) promotion and is part of the WWE video game series developed by THQ.
The game allows players to take control of various WWE Superstars and compete in wrestling matches, attempting to recreate the excitement of the annual WrestleMania event. Players can choose from a roster of popular WWE Superstars from that era, including The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Triple H, and many more.
"WWE WrestleMania X8" features different game modes, including Exhibition matches, King of the Ring tournaments, and a story-driven "WrestleMania" mode where players can play through WrestleMania events, aiming to win the main event and become the WWE Champion.
The gameplay includes a mix of arcade-style action and simulation elements, allowing players to perform various wrestling moves, signature moves, and finishers. The GameCube's controller layout was well-suited for the game, making it easy to execute moves and strikes.
Visually, the game aimed to capture the likeness and moves of the real WWE Superstars, and it featured detailed character models and arenas that closely resembled the ones seen in actual WWE events.
While "WWE WrestleMania X8" received praise for its roster, presentation, and gameplay, it was not without criticism. Some players found the gameplay to be somewhat repetitive, and the game lacked certain features that were present in other wrestling titles of that time. Nevertheless, it remains a notable addition to the WWE video game library on the GameCube and is remembered fondly by fans of wrestling and retro gaming.
