While Rumble Roses may seem like a game that's very much of it's time (And it very much is if we're being honest), the very solid gameplay and bonkers story is what keeps me coming back to this game from time to time on my PS2. There's very few other wrestling games out there that really captures the high potential for how absurd and wild pro wrestling stories and characters can be while also being fun and easy to pick up and play for both experienced and new wrestling game players. This game deserves a second wind and I think more people now can appreciate how positively camp this game is and have fun playing all the fun characters that star in it.
Rumble Roses was one of the first PS2 games I bought with my own money. Its visual style, bold and colorful, grabbed me from the start and the game hasn't let go of my heart in over 20 years. With its stellar character designs, wacky storylines, exciting presentation and simple but expansive gameplay, it remains one of the most unique and charming wrestling games ever made.
And unlike most games in that subgenre, which tend to veer towards increasingly complex simulation, Roses keeps things accessible, finding a sweet spot of gameplay where there's tons of moves and things to do, but everything stays intuitive and exciting. There's not a lot of modes, and one of them isn't exactly mind-blowing, but what's there is a joy to play.
What makes Roses so special besides the gameplay is how it also develops the personalities of its cast with far more than entrances and finishers. Voiced lines during matches, eye-catching designs and ludicrous yet endearing story modes fill each character with unforgettable appeal, and the Heel/Face system means you get to see different sides of them.
In short, Rumble Roses a delight of a game, and nothing would make me happier than see it come back and on PC.
Rumble Roses is the best wrestling game i have ever played, the graphics, the female characters, the moves, everything was impeccable about it, makes you wonder why are there so much less games of the same stripe.
Sexiest, most brutal, ommphiest, magnificient wrestling game, and all female at that. No words can describe how much i enjoyed this game. The graphics, the stories, really, the stories. my favourite characters: Reiko Hinomoto, Makoto Aihara, Evil Rose, Dixie Clemets, Lady X, Noble Rose, Judgment
Great ps2 game! Fun wrestling and fun gameplay. Not about story just about very very strong gameplay that requires skill. The game focuses on fun over tedious exposition.
Hot hand-to-hand combat between elegant women like roses.
The first time I saw this game was as a demo at a game shop.
The flashy entrance demo was reminiscent of real professional wrestling.
I was instantly captivated by the sight of strong, beautiful women using their incredible physical abilities to fight as if dancing gracefully like luchadors.
I think it's a truly fantastic professional wrestling game.
I would love to see Rumble Roses be remastered or at least remade. It would be amazing. I remembered I got this game in the 2nd grade. I just had gotten my brother’s ps2 and he finally got a ps3 . So I asked my dad if he could buy me a WWE game since I was so into wrestling. I was shocked when I came back home and Rumble Roses was sitting on the table. I was super happy that it was an all girl wrestling game and the things in the ratings went over my head since I was only young. I didn’t care. I just loved that it was a wrestling game and it was fun.
