A few weeks ago, my friend and I were going through his N64 games to see what still worked, and WWF War Zone and WCW vs. NWO still worked. Then after that we played SD vs. RAW 08. Then I thought to myself how good the graphics were in SD vs. RAW 08. But do you remember ever fawning over the 'great graphics' and how life-like the guys in WWF War Zone looked back when War Zone came out?

I do. I remember how unhappy I was with Mankind's character model, because it looked so weird. Fortunately, Cactus Jack and Dude Love were in that game, so they made up for it.
On an off-topic note, War Zone was actually the first wrestling game I ever played.

I still have Warzone for the Playstation and yeah, I remember thinking how incredible the graphics were, then a few years later Smackdown came out and I remember thinking "how can they improve on this?!"  |

Oh man, I remember going to Toys R Us to pick up my preorder of WWF Warzone. Even with the lackluster roster, I'll be damned if I didn't play that game for hours at a time.

Dude I remember that, I remember when Smackdown Just Bring it came out, and I had been playing Smackdown 2 nonstop at that time..me and my friend's were following the entrance's online and we'd see them and go "dude, they look so freakin real! It's like life like.." now looking back they're nearly the same style graphics.

I remember thinking No Mercy's graphics were AMAZING when it came out. And, tbh, the graphics, even by today's standards are pretty damn good.

I think every wrestling game had good graphics for its time.. I always thought the next one looked great. But it seems each year they get less fun.

As I am pretty old by a lot of you guys standards I still remember being blown away by the digitized pic of Hulk Hogan when you staretd up Super Wrestlemania on the SNES lol.
For its time Warzone looked great I thought Ahmed in particular looked cool. But nothing in a wrestling game even counting when I was a kid blew me away like Booker T's whole model from SYM.

Yeah, I thought they were amazing. I really dont know how much more they can improve now, since its already nearly lifelike.

Haha I remember sitting there as a kid just staring at all the photos of the superstars in the game. I enjoyed doing that and listening to the themes more so than playing the actual game  . As a kid I remember being so mad at how difficult it is. Last time I played it (few years ago) I still got beat pretty badly. War Zone had great graphics at the time. But for some reason I always thought Bret Hart looked odd. Then again, for some reason he always looks a bit off in video game form. |

I also remember Super Wrestlemania for SNES and marking out at how "realistic" it looked.
Either Raw for SNES or In Your House for Sega Saturn was the game I was most pumped about coming out. I had a hell of a time finding IYH, the only place in the mall that had it was Electronics Boutique, and they only had 2 copies. As bad as the game may be in retrospect, I probably played that more than any other wrestling game ever.

I am pretty ancient by this board's standards... the first wrestling game I played as a kid was actually "Pro Wrestling" for the original Nintendo (I owned an Atari 2600 before the Nintendo, but I never had a wrestling game for it).
It's so hard to imagine, but I remember being impressed with "WrestleMania" for the NES, because hey... I can kinda see how that stack of colored blocks is supposed to look like Hulk Hogan! I actually still have that game on this very laptop.
But yeah... Super WrestleMania and Royal Rumble for the SNES seemed amazing back in the day. Toward the end of the PS1 era, I became impressed with the graphics on a whole other level, since I could now create pretty good likenesses of myself and others in create-a-wrestler.
