Summary

WWE Aftershock for the N-Gage challenges players to get into the ring, muscle it up and battle against ten WWE Superstars (including Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Edge and Undertaker) for the coveted WWE Championship. WWE Aftershock offers all the pageantry and flamboyance of today's top WWE Superstars. Set in a real-time 3D environment, WWE Aftershock uses various camera angles for an eye-popping visual experience. Each WWE Superstars' persona is captured in the same over-the-top presentation that makes the WWE the ultimate in live entertainment. Virtual superstars can duke it out in quick exhibition matches, grueling survival modes, tempting tournaments and over the top Main Event matches. WWE Aftershock offers a wide variety of single player and multi-player modes to provide endless competition. The N-Gage Arena enhances the competitive and community aspects through ranking systems and unlockable superstars. [Nokia]

The graphics kind of blow, but the music rocks. It's better than most handheld wrestling games I've played, but it jobs out to GBA's "Fire Pro Wrestling" in a heartbeat.

There were times when I considered slapping this game with a 2 out of 5 just because its graphics are $#^% poor and its gameplay is fairly mindless, but WWE Aftershock has an addictive quality to it that slowly worked its way to my heart (awwww).

GameSpot

Even as a mindless button-masher, WWE Aftershock isn't particularly successful.

The absolutely unattractive graphics are really off-putting, because I know (as well as any N-Gage fan) the machine can do much better. If you are a wrestling fan, I still advise you to steer clear.

Gaming Target

Poor graphics, shallow gameplay and a limited replay value amount to nothing more than a mind-numbing experience.

I think this one could be dropkicked into the bottom of the bin after you finish playing it.

Console Gameworld

Just an unforgivably bad excuse for a wrestling game. It doesn’t push the N-Gage to its limits, the core element of the game is shrunk to just a couple different button presses, and there is almost no way to get real satisfaction out of playing this game.
