20 Weirdest Licensed Video Games EVER

16. WWE Crush Hour

You'd assume that a wrestling game would be pretty conventional fare, given that the sport lends itself to the format quite well. 

So what ever possessed with creators of WWE: Crush Hour to take much-loved professional wrestlers and pit them against one another in vehicular combat we'll never know. It's certainly an inspired take on the wrestling formula, with each of the combatants having their own bespoke vehicles that (mostly) reflect their established personalities. 

The gameplay is everything you'd expect from an arena-based vehicle combat game, which is to say, it's Twisted Metal. Let's not make any bones about it, this is a WWE-skinned Twisted Metal clone, and not a particularly good one either. The gameplay is relatively shallow and the novelty of racing around as WWE superstars soon wears thin. 

It's certainly a very novel approach but you can't help shake the feeling that Crush Hour started its life as a bog-standard vehicular combat game that they slapped the WWE licence on to ensure it would actually sell. There's no confirmation as to whether or not that's true but it seems to be the most logical answer as to why such an oddity of a game exists in the first place.
