If you got tired of playing
wrestling simulation games or watching the fights (who would do that, though?), maybe it is
time to try a new thing, but remain in the wrestling industry. A management game might do the trick. It's not everything about the main stage, you know? Somebody must pull the strings, sign deals and promote the dudes, too!
Total Extreme Wrestling 2008 is developed and published by Grey Dog Software and it is available exclusively as a direct download from the official website (
click here to check it out). With a price of $34.95, it proves to be about serious wrestling and not a casual type of game.
As I've said, Total Extreme Wrestling 2008 allows you to take on the role of a wrestling promoter, strive to steer your company to the top of the industry and deal with superstars, start wars or alliances against/with other wrestling companies and so on. Everything a real life promoter does will be available in the game.
You should expect Total Extreme Wrestling 2008 to be a complex title and not at all easy to master. You have no less than forty regions in the game world, and tons of wrestlers to choose from, with each of them having his own personality, consisting of ten traits including Humble to Egotistical, Generous to Selfish, Dependable to Flaky and many more. Also, you will get a clear overview of how harmonious your locker room is and you will be able to balance the backstage environment in a number of ways. You will really have to strive to keep the mood high, since good chemistry improves performance while bad chemistry degrades it.
Atop of everything, a demo has been released on the official website, so you can give it a try and see for yourself if wrestling management games are for you or you have to stick with
button smashing.
