Video Gaming News - August 2005
Redwood City, CA (August 17, 2005) - Konami today announced it will
release Rumble Roses XX in North America for the Xbox 360.
From Konami:
The follow-up to last year’s smash hit female wrestling video game, Rumble
Roses XX will feature a full lineup of incredible looking wrestlers along with
all-new moves, gameplay modes, tag team action and online play.
“We’re delivering the features that fans expect from a quality wrestling game,”
said Matt Knoles, Product Manager at Konami Digital Entertainment - America.
“With even better looking models, more gameplay modes, tag team action, and
online play, Rumble Roses XX will be the only game on the market to deliver both
beauty and brawn.”
Set to be the “best-looking” game for the new console, Rumble Roses XX features
more than 20 playable characters, including all the popular ladies from the
original Rumble Roses such as Reiko and Dixie. Additionally, just like in the
original, each character’s “alternate” persona will be included, allowing for
players to play the hero, or the heel. Modeled in revealing outfits, the look of
the wrestlers in Rumble Roses XX will defy the imagination as the polygon count
for each of these models has increased substantially from the original. Each
wrestler will also have a variety of costume changes, new moves, different crowd
reactions and attitudes depending on their persona.
New gameplay modes – bolstering a number of solo modes where players can pummel
their way through the game’s many characters and unlock additional foes – turn
up the heat on the action. Foremost is the new Tag Team option, which allows two
women to team up to fight two other women. The Tag Team mode allows for special
team combo moves, mistaken attacks and the drama of team breakups. A Battle
Royal mode and an Elimination Match mode also increase the game’s depth and
replay value. Additionally, Rumble Roses XX will include online play so
competition from around the country can team up with one another or go
toe-to-toe. No matter which mode, the number of moves at the players’ disposal
has been expanded greatly, providing a more realistic wrestling experience.
The game will also feature many of the same tactics that made the original
version a hit, including a wide variety of moves such as traditional suplexes,
kicks and elbows. Additionally, each wrestler has specific attacks linked to
their overt personalities and can also string together a number of moves to
create formidable combinations. In keeping with the glitzy showcase nature of
the game, the girls also have taunt moves to rile their opponents and to get the
crowd excited. The individual fighting style chosen for the characters will
influence each wrestler’s “good” or “bad” persona when players choose to fight
dirty or fair. With the game’s Superstar system, the more popular a character
becomes with the virtual audience, the greater the benefits the player will
receive, giving her an advantage in the match.
Rumble Roses XX has not yet been rated by the ESRB.
