I didn't know it's out on 11/9.
I went to Gamestop last night and saw this game on the shelf.

It looks great from the screenshots I've seen but not sure about gameplay.

I'm not a wrestling fan but Rumble Roses reminds me of DOA version wrestling.......

From what I read (I haven't bought it yet) the gameplay as decent. Not as bad as you might imagine it, however it's not supurb.

This game is fun, entertaining, not great.

It is full of unlockables, and amazingly, each character has a "story" which end up being the most funny and stupid stories ever seen in videogames. The voice acting is so terrible, it will make you laugh.

Graphically, it looks good, the models are pretty detailed, with (obvious) bouncing breasts, and with something really weird... bouncing butts... too bizarre, really.

The music is below average... the tracks are not really bad, and since it is a Konami game, it has some well-known Bemani music tracks here and there... but while fighting, I believe the game has 3 different tracks that get looped one after the other.

Gameplay-wise, it is entertaining, simple, but entertaining. I have never played any other wrestling game in my life, so I cannot comment on how it compares to other systems/mechanics. It is fun, and each girl has a pretty unique set of moves.

Overall, it is just that, simple fun, with stupid laughable stories and nice graphics.

the gameplay seems like it has potential but ive only put about an hour or so in.

the graphics are nice though the character selection is terrible imo, the ninja is about the only one that appeals to me. you might dig the characters if you like hentai or something though :)

the one thing that pisses me off is you cant change the camera angle. its too close, i want something out a tad further so i can see the characters whole bodies...

The character selection IS terrible. Evil Rose is something incredibly awful... she looks like something that came from Ogenki Clinic... same goes for Anesthesia. The ninja girl is pretty good, kind of like Taki, or the kunoichi from CoolGirl. Asuka... I mean.. "Candy" is pretty nice as well.

Sometimes the camera becomes a pain, especially when your opponent falls to the ground behind the ring, you simply cannot see where she is.

Oh, a fun feature is that when you are out of the ring, you can get different items from the crowd, like baseball bats, whips, sticks, etc.

The game also has "DMs" which are called "Killer Moves". These you perform by filling the power gauge and just pressing L1. There are also "Lethal Moves" that are performed in special occations (cornered opponent, dizzy opponent, etc.) and also a "Humiliation Move", which you can perform when you have dealt a lot of damage to your opponent.

I've had my copy since this monday and I'm luvin' it! *It isn't great, but it's the best playing all female wrestling game I've ever played. Usually this kind of thing is pure cheesecake. I've been waiting for something like this since Cutey Suzuki's Ringside Angel on the MEGADRIVE. I always just have a problem remembering the control scheme of it all in games like this since it's not like a 3-D fighter. Good times though, and bitchez wrestling never looked so good.

I could've done without the female sung rendition of "Yankee Rose" though. Though Dixie Clements is easily one of the hottest bitchez in the game.

I'm liking the game. I usually hate wrestling games, that's why I haven't touched one in ages, but this one is quite playable and fun, and of course the bitches are super-hot :drool_2: . The Mad Mud Matches are the funnay too.
This is a game for playing during a week and then get tired, then show it only when friends come over. And be sure to hide it from females without humor sense too :p

I'm not suprised either. Actually the only thing that suprised me is that he made a post about the game that didn't include the words "fap" and "fapage."

Yup, this is possibly the perfect game for fapping, too bad you can't play it with only one hand... Wait, there's the COM Match option :kekeke:

I like this game too, even if I hate wrestling games or wrestling overall (well for me it's more Lesring :drool_2: ).

But hey, I like DOA X too! :kekeke:

This game looks like a fun time. I might pick it up with it drops to $20, and it will hopefully.

I read in another forum that somebody was auctioning off a promo make up kit from the game on ebay. Shheesh!

Pretty cool, good graphics but not too complex move wise compared to other wrestling gamrs. Has some cool finishing moves.

Basically, all Rumble Roses is Smackdown! with female wrestlers. It's plays EXACTLY like SD! HCTP. All in all, it's not all that bad.

Bumping old threads with nothing to add but you have this game is going to have a lot of people rip on you.

Not giving you a hard time, just a little advice.

Might as well make the most of a necro bump...

This game kicked fucking ass...I bought it at full retail the week or so it came out.

To be a cheapass all you really have to do is go to the upper right and grab a tickle stick or whatever out of the crowd...you can endlessly tickle your opponent (since their reaction animation ends later than your tickling one) and build up their Humiliation all the way.

XX sucked fucking balls, especially the DLC.
