Its hard to believe that its been 25 years since the WWF Attitude game was released PS1, N64 and Dreamcast back in 1999. WWF Attitude was a creation by the now defunct Acclaim Entertainment who also produced ECW Hardcore Revolution and the ECW Anarchy Rulz video games. The WWF Attitude game was the direct sequel to the WWF Warzone title which came out in 1998 and a larger roster of superstars. The WWF Challenge Mode in the Warzone game was replaced by brand new Career Mode where players had to work there way up through the rankings on house shows to make it to the main roster to compete for championships. The three main championships players got to compete for in Career Mode including European, Intercontinental and the WWF title. The game featured cool new additions that was not present in WWF Warzone including the First Blood and I Quit match. Players also had the ability to create their own stable along with custom PPV’s.

The Create-a-Wrestler mode in WWF Attitude was an improvement from what we got in WWF Warzone; since it provided players with more options in relation to entrances, move-sets, etc. The voice-over acting for the superstars before and during matches was a nice touch especially since it was a feature that was absent in some of the earlier Smackdown games on PS1.The WWF Attitude game from ’99 has often received criticism for not being as good as other pro wrestling titles like the WCW games on the N64. However, WWF Attitude in some ways was ahead of its time because it had features that Yuke’s and THQ did not include in pro wrestling titles until later in the 2000’s. WWF Attitude allowed players to be more creative than just about any other pro wrestling game from 90’s even though the gameplay was not as good as what THQ was producing exclusively for the N64. The Career Mode felt boring compared to what we got in WWF Warzone with the WWF Challenge Mode. The cutscenes and rants from pro wrestlers that was present in WWF Warzone’s “Challenge Mode” could have really of made WWF Attitude two times better than it was. Either way, WWF Warzone was actually one of the better pro wrestling games from the 90’s that was not a THQ creation.
