5 Reasons Why Booking Revolution Is The Best Wrestling Game Of All Time

Lets face it. Pro wrestling games are weird. Primarily because they€™re fighting games, when in reality wrestling is more akin to figure skating or couples dancing- it€™s two people working together in a rhythm to wow an audience via feats of strength and grace while wearing colorful and sometimes frilly costumes. Thus you€™d think a pro wrestling simulation for hardcore fans would be a co-op experience instead of a competitive one. But perhaps because that breaks the fourth wall just a tad too much for the WWE bigwigs and TNA medium-to-small-sized wigs, we€™ve never had a pro wrestling game strive to re-create the art and importance of having a good match and popping the crowd. To fill that void, many wrestling fans turned toward text-based simulators like Extreme Warfare Revenge and games that had you manage the feuds, book the matches with chemistry in mind, and make enough money to continue operating. While intoxicating, these sim games lacked actual wrestling gameplay. There was no way to get in there and have a good match yourself. It's the equivalent of playing Fifa 2014€™s career in watch-only mode. Enter Mdickie€™s Booking Revolution. It's currently available on iOS, Android, PC, Ouya, and Mac for five dollars US, and is the first and only wrestling game to truly capture (and reward) the importance of putting on an entertaining match. Thus, submitted for your approval are five reasons why Booking Revolution puts you behind the book, and in the ring in a way no other wrestling game has ever done.
