E3 2003: Wrestlemania XIX

More wrestling action? Bring it on! WWE WrestleMania XIX is coming to the GameCube!

Even after all these years, WrestleMania remains the premier, large-scale event where grappling grudges play out and new champions arise. WWE WrestleMania XIX for the GameCube hopes to capture all the intrigue, action, and glamour that keeps fans addicted year after year.

The wrestlers are infamous for their dramatic story lines, so XIX has an updated story mode that is fleshed out through scripted cut-scenes. A new tutorial mode helps get you ready to participate in competitions like Sweet Revenge, Challenge, and ShopZone. After choosing a mode, you can select from the complete 2003 roster, which includes stars like Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the Rock. The wrestlers are re-modeled for greater physical detail and they now get damaged in specific body regions allowing players to mimic real-life tactics. If you?re not happy with the 40 selectable superstars for competition, the game lets you create one from scratch.

Technical improvements round out the remainder of the features, addressing less-than-stellar points in previous versions. The presentation, in particular, gets a huge make-over to simulate camera angles, special effects, and booming audio, which fans have become accustomed to from watching WrestleMania in-person and on television.
