7. WWF European Rampage Tour
As implied by the name, European Rampage Tour was a game targeted mainly at the WWF's European audience. Released on home computers, Rampage Tour was entirely focused on tag team wrestling, making you choose from a whopping FOUR possible superstars. Creating a team from Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior and Bret Hart, you were tasked with making your way through a tag team tournament, beating some actual existing WWF tag teams until you won the Tag Team Titles. Oddly, it was aimed at the European market but didn't even feature the British Bulldog who was under contract at the time. A tag team tournament might sound good, but problem is there are only 3 other teams in the game besides the team you meet in the final. This means you have to face each of these preliminary teams THREE times each before getting your Tag Team Title shot from the Legion of Doom. What's odd is all the preliminary matches take place on the European Tour in made up arenas around Europe, but the Title match is back in good old Madison Square Garden. The repetitive nature of the tournament wouldn't be so bad if the game were at least decent to play but as you may have guessed by it being on this list, WWF European Rampage Tour is a dud. The only smooth thing about the game is character movement; everything else is an exercise in frustration. It may be a wrestling game, but executing a basic wrestling grapple seems too much for this game to handle. The move is there as an option, but just doesn't work like it's supposed to. Instead, what the game turns into is a boring slugfest, leaving you with only the strike buttons to work with for the most part. If you struggle your way through the ten career matches, you win the Tag Titles and get a nice screenshot of Jimmy Hart begging to be your manager. Rampage Tour would be the last wrestling game released for home computers until 2001 and rightly so. It was so frustratingly broken it probably put people off computer based wrestling games for life.
