The Story Behind ECW Hardcore Revolution

ECW Hardcore Revolution is a professional wrestling video game released by Acclaim Entertainment, based on the professional wrestling promotion Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). The game was released for the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Game Boy Color, and Dreamcast in 2000. It was the first wrestling game to be based on ECW, as well as the first professional wrestling video game to receive a Mature rating from the ESRB, although the Game Boy Color version was rated Everyone.

Acclaim followed this title with the release of a sequel, ECW Anarchy Rulz, in August 2000. This game has up to 55 wrestlers: 51 males and 4 females.

How ECW Hardcore Revolution Plays

Nearly all of the main characters were performers and staff members involved with ECW during the game's production. For example, Danny Doring's finisher "Whambam Thankyou Maam" is identical to the "Double Arm DDT". The additional "jobber" characters are loosely based on other ECW or Acclaim staff, or are completely fictional.

However, many of the added moves are just duplicates of moves that are already in the game. The player(s) must win matches to move up the rankings before they can challenge for championship titles at pay-per-view events. The tag team career only allows players to compete for the ECW World Tag Team Championships.

However, The D-Pad Destroyer said of the same console version in another review, "Attitude fans who dig the ECW might want to give this one a look, but if you really want to play ECW wrestlers, then try to create them in Wrestlemania 2000 or Mayhem. It was rated as one of the two worst GBC games of all time by MobyGames. Players complained about sluggish controls, poor sound effects and graphics and glitches.

6 on NPD Group's weekly Nintendo 64 sales chart. It has a different name, but it's pretty much the same game." In another review, Lou Gubrious said of the same console version, "For all of you who liked WWF Attitude and wanted to see an ECW game, this was designed for you. In an age where both wrestling games and wrestling itself are centering on the show behind the sport, Acclaim's difficult and bland engine is showing its age." Later on, Lamchop said that the Dreamcast version "isn't an improvement over Attitude.
