WCW Mayhem 2:

10 Purchase Points

Game Description

Originally announced in February of 2000, WCW Mayhem 2 is the PlayStation 2's first installment of Electronic Art's popular wrestling franchise. Moving in a whole new direction, this Aki-developed grappler features all the biggest stars of the WCW including Ric Flair, Booker T, Big Poppa Pump, and Sting. Additional features for this sequel include a cinematic storyline with branching paths, more than 1000 different wrestling maneuvers and submissions, multiple match types like first blood and gauntlet, and several other fan-oriented surprises.

Unfortunately for fans, WCW Mayhem 2 was never completed as the WWF's purchase of the WCW in March of 2001 negated Electronic Art's licensing deal. The technology and engine, however, were later used in part for EA's future wrestling title, Def Jam Vendetta.
