3. WWF No Mercy - N64
Featuring an impressively deep create a wrestler option and a stacked roster of the attitude era's finest, there is no way that this game was not going to make the cut. The graphics were great, the fight mechanics still stand up. This game has aged well. The last WWF game released on the N64 and AKI's streak of excellence was not broken. Yes, sometimes the AI could be annoying but apart from that - nothing but joy. We lost countless hours in this game's story mode battling against that AI and did we care? Kinda but not really. The story was that engrossing. And the replay value was through the roof. Branching storylines meant that whether you won or lost in career mode determined what would happen next. A welcome change from the retry cycle of the game's predecessor, Wrestlemania 2000. They found a way to make the game's difficulty not frustrate... until the final 100% push. That deserves kudos. Kudos.
