Although the past few SmackDown Vs. Raw titles have featured special unlockable 'superstar' wrestlers from the WWE's past, there has never been a title that focused directly on legendary wrestlers from the WWE's past. That is, until now.

Legends of WrestleMania is the first WWE-based wrestling game to give you WrestleMania-focused gameplay involving classic wrestlers like Rowdy Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes, and Bret Hart, letting you relieve their classic WrestleMania fights.

The game's main mode, WrestleMania Tour Mode is pretty much this game's selling point, allowing you to relive classic WrestleMania bouts. When you enter the mode, you are invited to either Relive, Rematch, or Redefine classic matches from WrestleMania events past. Before you start each match, a highlight reel detailing the events prior to the WrestleMania match is displayed, and you are treated to about five minutes of classic footage.

If you have chosen to Relive a WrestleMania bout, you will play as the match victor, and your goal will be not only to win the match, but to fulfill a set of objectives to make the match more like it was during the real event. For instance, if you are playing the WrestleMania II steel cage mach between 'Hulk' Hogan and King Kong Bundy, you will get extra points if you are able to prevent Bundy from attempting to leave the steel cage mid-match. If you fulfill enough of these extra objectives, you will win a 'medal,' which will allow you to unlock the next WrestleMania event.

But, as much fun as it is reliving the past WrestleMania events, you can also play through old grudge matches from the point of view of the loser in the Rematch mode. This mode is almost identical to the Relive functionality, as you will still have a set of objectives for your wrestler to complete before they are able to move on to the next WrestleMania bout. Of course, if you want to throw out the rules completely, you can check out the Redefine functionality, but I have to say that this was the shallowest mode of the three, and I much preferred the guided experience of the Relive and Rematch functionality.

The only qualm I had with the WrestleMania Tour mode is that it is far too short. Although Wrestling games have never really been known for their long single-player modes, this one clocks in under ten hours for an average player, and probably around the five hour mark for those who are experienced with this type of game. While there have been only so many WrestleMania events, there are plenty of non-main events that could have been included in the game to lengthen the experience.

In addition to the WrestleMania Tour mode, Legends of WrestleMania also includes a Legend Killer mode, which allows you to pit your own created character through the Legends of WrestleMania gamut and make them into their own WWE legend. This mode is a little bit longer than the WrestleMania tour mode, and you can level up your created character RPG-style as you go through the different matches. Although I wasn't as excited to play with my own character as I was when going through the historic WrestleMania matches, I did enjoy leveling my character up; it was a nice alternative to the main mode.

Legends of WrestleMania is a retro game in more ways than one. Most obviously, it's a wrestling game that diverts from the shiny new SmackDown path and instead wallows in cheesy nostalgia, offering a line up of WWE's biggest stars from the 1980s onwards in one big ol' rumble. Less obviously, it's a game that abandons the increasingly complex and impenetrable SmackDown gameplay in favour of button-mashing and simple combos, a modern day riff on the old Royal Rumble cartridge games of yesteryear.

In some ways it's a refreshing and long overdue change in perspective. SmackDown has become an increasingly bloated and stagnant affair, catering to a core group of fans who no longer seem to care if the actual gameplay is evolving in any meaningful way. By harking back to a less cynical time, Legends of WrestleMania brings back the fun. The wrestlers are fun, with icons like Hulk Hogan and camp horrors like the tassel-covered Ultimate Warrior making a welcome return to gaming, and the gameplay is fun.

Well, maybe fun is the wrong word. It's accessible. And by accessible, I mean incredibly easy. The finger-mangling grapple system that has taken root in SmackDown like a tenacious vine has been ruthlessly hacked away. What you're left with is the sort of control layout that could fit on a SNES pad. One button is for melee attacks, one for grapples, one for blocks and reversals, and one for pins, turnbuckle and rope moves. The move can be modified by the environmental context, triggering different attacks on the ropes than you'd get in the middle of the ring, and also by the directional stick and the length of the time the button is pressed. Hold it down and you pull off a stronger attack.

The action is augmented by 'chains', essentially a stealth term for quick-time events, and a hefty helping of button-mashing. That's not quite as bad as it sounds, however, since the button prompts work for all players. If your opponent has you in a headlock, you can reverse the move by hitting the prompts before them. Conversely, miss the prompts for an attack you triggered and you'll muff it up and get slapped down.

While this welcoming approach bears fruit to begin with, it doesn't do much for the game's long-term appeal. It's far too easy to bludgeon your way through any single-player match with constant melee attacks and submission moves, and while there are a surprising number of unique animations and grapple chains to discover, you soon see the same moves repeated over and over simply because they work too damn well.

In terms of game modes, the retro approach means there are a brace of interesting features for people who can remember when it was WWF. All tucked away under the WrestleMania Tour banner, Relive puts you in a classic WrestleMania match and gives you a series of specific moves or events to pull off in order to recreate the original confrontation. Rewrite Mode, on the other hand, lets you alter the outcome of famous wrestling moments. Redefine mixes up the settings and rules, offering a sort of alternate universe WrestleMania.

There's also Legends, in which you battle through tiers of the best wrestlers, ten at a time. You can import the latest SmackDown vs. Raw roster, and the game also tracks the wrestlers you use most, using them to create a custom Favourite Legends tier to fight through. Of course, there's the usual spread of exhibition bout options, with the expected gamut of match styles to choose from. Cage match, Ladder match, Hell in a Cell, Iron Man, 30 Man Royal Rumble - they're all here, and most are available in the online multiplayer mode as well.

So why does it all feel so flimsy? I suspect that by this point developer Yuke's is damned if they do, damned if they don't. Smackdown is too flabby with complex controls and daunting structure, but when they strip it all down to basics and have some dumb fun, the result feels slight and forgettable. Once you've beaten all the single-player modes, which you can easily do in an evening, racking up overly generous Trophies or Achievements as you go, there's only the diminishing returns of multiplayer to keep you playing, and it's there that simplicity starts to feel like shallowness. The fun of the corny bombastic nostalgia fades away quickly once you have a joypad in your hand.

The ropey game engine certainly doesn't help, with the sort of herky-jerky animation you'd expect from a 1999 wrestling game, plus plenty of wonky collision detection and clipping. Character models, meanwhile, vary from decent to horrible, often in the same match, and some wrestlers look positively deformed. Poor old Ric Flair looks like something out of The Dark Crystal.

Legends of WrestleMania is probably worth a rental for wrestling fans old enough to remember the era of face paint and comedy costumes, and its none-more-simple controls will also appeal to younger fans who won't know who half these guys are, but will still relish being able to make them do impressive things with minimal effort. There's just not enough to it, however. Unlike its glistening, preening stars, Legends of WrestleMania is weak and insubstantial.
