Item Description

Most wrestling games of 1999 kept the fight inside the arena. WCW Mayhem walked it straight up the entrance ramp and out the back. Electronic Arts' first WCW game, built by Kodiak Interactive, lets you drag a match backstage without a count-out and keep brawling through more than a dozen back rooms, from the parking lot and ticket office to the restrooms, with weapons lying around and the occasional ambush waiting behind a door.

The roster is a snapshot of WCW deep in the Monday Night Wars, split into WCW, nWo Hollywood, nWo Wolfpac, the Four Horsemen, the Cruiserweights and the Hardcore division. More than 50 wrestlers are on the card, Goldberg, Sting, Bret Hart, Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page among them, along with unlockable hidden characters and a create-a-wrestler mode. Quest for the Best is the main road to the belts and the place where most of the hidden characters are earned, and only cruiserweights are allowed to chase the Cruiserweight title, a nice touch of authenticity.

Mayhem also had a clever gimmick tied to the real show: a Pay-Per-View mode that used codes revealed on Monday Nitro the week before each event to unlock that night's actual match card. It only ran for a few months before the roster outpaced it, which makes it a great piece of wrestling-game trivia today. On the Nintendo 64, Tony Schiavone handles commentary on his own, even when a few of his lines are still addressed to an absent Bobby Heenan, and IGN scored the N64 version higher than its PlayStation counterpart.

Its fast, arcade-style feel plays nothing like the AKI grappling engine behind THQ's earlier WCW games, so it brings something different to an N64 wrestling shelf: quicker matches, wilder backstage chaos and a roster frozen at the moment the black-and-white and red-and-black nWo still ruled Nitro.
