Okay, okay. I'm not going to try to convince you that you can enjoy this game if you in no way have any interest in the scantilly clad wrestlers. However, the graphics are really polished, and the girls do look good and that kept me interested just long enough to actually get hooked on this game.
Alright, I'll come clean, I love this game and I defend it to everyone so I am biased. But I've also logged about 40 hours into the game and here's the skinny
Pros:
-Looks great
-Gameplay actually is smooth and easy enough to learn.
-There is a much better variety of moves than in the first game
-CUSTOM ENTRANCE MUSIC!!! That's right, Smackdown vs. Raw for the 360 didn't even bother to do it but Rumble Roses does. You can have your wrestler enter to any song on your hard drive (just set the song as its own playlist). It got big points with me for just this feature alone
-Create a wrestler. It's not bad, not great. But at least its there
Cons:
-No story mode AT ALL. Nothing. You just play match after match. There are a few match varieties but it all boils down to the same thing. Play a match, hope for a title match.
-Speaking of title matches. You get one at some point AT RANDOM between around 15-60 (you heard me, 60!!!) matches. In 40 hours of gameplay I've won the singles title maybe 6 or 7 times. Winning these title matches is how you unlock most of the characters so this can be frustrating.
-speaking of unlockable characters, there really aren't any. Instead there are "good guy" and "bad guy" versions of the 11 characters. They all play like different characters so it is over 20 differnt ways to play but it still only feels like 11 characters.
-online...nobody plays online. You'l almost never be able to find a game.
-achievements. 40 hours = 50 points. Until I saw the gamercard of the person who did it I thought it was perfectly reasonable to assume that no one on earth hd gotten the full 1000 points for this game
Overall, I loved this game, but you probably won't.
