Finally, The Rock has come back to Nintendo! Wrestlemania X8 delivers all of the high-risk manoeuvres, top rope antics, and main event madness of the biggest WWE event of the year, and is EXCLUSIVE to Nintendo GameCube.

More than 35 Superstars – an updated 2002 roster features a complete list of the top Superstars including newcomers Rob Van Dam™, Booker T™ and The Hurricane.

For the first time ever in a World Wrestling video game, the members of the New World Order will be featured, including Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and ex member Hollywood Hulk Hogan! Master each Superstar’s unique wrestling style and turn the tide of the match through a combination of counters, reversals and bone-shattering finishing moves.

Take it to the ring against Wrestling’s finest in the battle to become champion. Risk life and limb in high impact TLC matches, fight for your life in Hardcore match-ups and prove you skills in the infamous Hell in a Cell. If wrestling is not your style then beat your opponent into submission with chairs, sledgehammers, stop signs, baseball bats, planks of wood and other unruly weapons.

Players can create their own wrestlers in the Create-a-Superstar mode and even create their own belts to face off against family and friends in the title match to end all title matches.
Wrestlemania X8 is the king of the ring, with incredibly realistic graphics. Players will feel like they are taking part in the greatest sports entertainment event of a lifetime. Now can you dig that, Sucka..?
