Imagine playing a new wrestling video game in which you can play as many of your favorite stars, both past and present, from multiple wrestling companies at the same time. Superstars such as  Hulk Hogan, Big Papa Pump, & Kurt Angle from TNA while also playing as Daniel Bryan ,Sheamus & CM Punk from the WWE. Now, imagine paying less than a dollar to own the game.  Sound “way too good to be true”? Well, that’s because it IS way too good to be true. However, for under a dollar, that’s “sort of” what you are getting when you download and buy the fun little title named Wrestling Revolution PPV.

You see the stars that I mentioned likeness are in the game, however the developer cleverly does not use the actual names or wrestling companies in this title. Make no mistake,  the likenesses of HIS wrestlers are blatantly and unmistakably evident as to who they are intended to be. You might call it a rip-off and you may even be right, but I am calling it a tribute to wrestling video games by a Indy developer that is obviously a big fan of wrestling himself. And as a gamer and a casual wrestling fan, I am more than happy to put down such a small amount of money for a cool little game that features so many ” homages” to  wrestling stars. The game play is fun, the matches are good and the variety of matches is more than suffice for such a low price tag. Visuals , music and sound are all decent here and most importantly, it controls well with the touch screen. It is not perfect, but considering how many moves, punches, special moves and items you can use in the game, the touch screen works well. I can see this game being much better on the iPad as the iphone has a small screen, but I still am having a fun time with this game. And fun is what it is all about.  I guess, if I held stock in TNA or WWE I may be a little upset about this game, homage or not. Or, if I actually WAS one of the wrestlers being emulated in this title, I might be a little pissed about the copyright infringement. However I am just a gamer looking for a fun and cheap game on IOS,  its not really any of my business if this title is more of a” rip off” or more of a” tribute”.  Who cares, I am having some fun with it for what it is and it hits both my videogamer and wrestling fans needs at the same time. The game is not perfect, but its more than fun enough if your a wrestling fan. Go find those 99 cents, lost in the corners of your couch after it fell out of  your pockets when you were watching RAW, and go buy it.
