Description
"ECW Hardcore Revolution" is a professional wrestling video game released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000, among other platforms. Developed by Acclaim Studios Salt Lake and published by Acclaim Entertainment, the game is based on the professional wrestling promotion Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). Its introduction into the gaming world marked a significant step as it was the first video game specifically based on the ECW franchise. The game features many of ECW's popular wrestlers at the time, including Rob Van Dam, Tommy Dreamer, and the Dudley Boyz, each rendered with their signature moves and taunts, creating an authentic ECW atmosphere.
The gameplay of "ECW Hardcore Revolution" mirrors that of Acclaim’s earlier releases in the wrestling genre, most notably "WWF Attitude." Players can engage in various match types including deathmatch, barbed wire ropes match, and the infamous "House of Hardcore" match, emphasizing the brutal, hardcore style associated with ECW. The game includes a career mode, enabling players to fight through the ranks to win championship belts, and a pay-per-view mode where players can set up their own wrestling event complete with multiple matches. Despite its innovative licensing and theming around ECW, the game received mixed to negative reviews, often criticized for its similarity to previous wrestling games and lack of substantial innovation in gameplay mechanics. Nonetheless, it holds a spot in wrestling game history as ECW's initial foray into the video game industry.
