While Rumble Roses may seem like a game that's very much of it's time (And it very much is if we're being honest), the very solid gameplay and bonkers story is what keeps me coming back to this game from time to time on my PS2. There's very few other wrestling games out there that really captures the high potential for how absurd and wild pro wrestling stories and characters can be while also being fun and easy to pick up and play for both experienced and new wrestling game players. This game deserves a second wind and I think more people now can appreciate how positively camp this game is and have fun playing all the fun characters that star in it.
Rumble Roses was one of the first PS2 games I bought with my own money. Its visual style, bold and colorful, grabbed me from the start and the game hasn't let go of my heart in over 20 years. With its stellar character designs, wacky storylines, exciting presentation and simple but expansive gameplay, it remains one of the most unique and charming wrestling games ever made.
And unlike most games in that subgenre, which tend to veer towards increasingly complex simulation, Roses keeps things accessible, finding a sweet spot of gameplay where there's tons of moves and things to do, but everything stays intuitive and exciting. There's not a lot of modes, and one of them isn't exactly mind-blowing, but what's there is a joy to play.
What makes Roses so special besides the gameplay is how it also develops the personalities of its cast with far more than entrances and finishers. Voiced lines during matches, eye-catching designs and ludicrous yet endearing story modes fill each character with unforgettable appeal, and the Heel/Face system means you get to see different sides of them.
In short, Rumble Roses a delight of a game, and nothing would make me happier than see it come back and on PC.
Rumble Roses is the best wrestling game i have ever played, the graphics, the female characters, the moves, everything was impeccable about it, makes you wonder why are there so much less games of the same stripe.
Sexiest, most brutal, ommphiest, magnificient wrestling game, and all female at that. No words can describe how much i enjoyed this game. The graphics, the stories, really, the stories. my favourite characters: Reiko Hinomoto, Makoto Aihara, Evil Rose, Dixie Clemets, Lady X, Noble Rose, Judgment
Great ps2 game! Fun wrestling and fun gameplay. Not about story just about very very strong gameplay that requires skill. The game focuses on fun over tedious exposition.
Hot hand-to-hand combat between elegant women like roses.
The first time I saw this game was as a demo at a game shop.
The flashy entrance demo was reminiscent of real professional wrestling.
I was instantly captivated by the sight of strong, beautiful women using their incredible physical abilities to fight as if dancing gracefully like luchadors.
I think it's a truly fantastic professional wrestling game.
I would love to see Rumble Roses be remastered or at least remade. It would be amazing. I remembered I got this game in the 2nd grade. I just had gotten my brother’s ps2 and he finally got a ps3 . So I asked my dad if he could buy me a WWE game since I was so into wrestling. I was shocked when I came back home and Rumble Roses was sitting on the table. I was super happy that it was an all girl wrestling game and the things in the ratings went over my head since I was only young. I didn’t care. I just loved that it was a wrestling game and it was fun.

Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 31: Cyber Troopers Virtual OnAction Science fiction
Fighters MegamixFighters Megamix is a 1996 fighting game developed by AM2 for the Sega Saturn and Game.com. It combines several characters from various Sega games, from the complete cast of Virtua Fighter 2 and Fighting Vipers to Janet from Virtua Cop 2 and the Hornet car from Daytona USA, while allowing to play the bosses of both games without codes.
Highly advertised, it followed Virtua Fighter 2 as a high-profile 3D fighting game for the Sega Saturn. Intended as an introduction to Virtua Fighter 3 (which was never released for the Saturn), Fighters Megamix utilized the concept originally used by The King of Fighters, whereby characters and styles from different games were mixed together. Not only the open ended rings from VF are present (but now, with no ring-out), but also the closed cages from Fighting Vipers. VF characters have new moves taken from VF3, but the most impressive feature was the dodge move, which allowed characters to sidestep, avoiding a dangerous blow and opening at the same time room for a counter. Sega capitalized on this, calling Fighters Megamix the first "real 3D" fighting game in the market.
Unlike most of AM2's games of the era, Fighters Megamix did not have an arcade release. In 1998 a Game.com port was released by Tiger Electronics.Action
Fighting Vipers 2The sequel to the innovative Fighting Vipers has arrived and is set to ignite the world of beat 'em ups once again.

Fighting Vipers 2 is sure to put your pulse into overload!
Fighting VipersFighting Vipers is a 3D fighting video game created by Sega AM2. While it shares the game engine with AM2's Virtua Fighter 2, it distinguishes itself with enclosed arenas and an armour mechanic. The game is primarily designed for Western audiences, incorporating a U.S. setting and embracing more freeform styles of martial arts.Action
Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 16: Virtua Fighter 2In Virtua Fighter 2, the intrepid fighters return to the World Fighting Tournament. Take to the stage to see who will claim the championship title.

Immerse yourself in this technically challenging game and see if you have what it takes to be the champion of the second World Fighting Tournament!
On paper, the PlayStation 2 version of Virtua Fighter II mirrors its arcade counterpart exactly. The people who worked on this port were clearly aiming for an arcade perfect title. The game apparently reads the controller at the same frequency as the arcade, 57.5 times per second. Purists who demand perfect timing for their combos should be in heaven. The resolution of the arcade has also been replicated, with VF2 running on the PS2 in 496x384 resolution. This leaves black bars around the game, but you can select to zoom up to full screen in the options menu of you want. The game offers up arcade, versus and ranking modes of play, all playable using either version 2.0 or 2.1 settings (selectable in the options menu).
Virtua Fighter 4 EvolutionEvolution was an updated version of Virtua Fighter 4. The game introduced two new characters and adjusted every other character as well. The two new characters were the Judoka-assassin, Goh Hinogami and the Muay Thai boxer Brad Burns. With the addition of Brad Burns, Vanessa Lewis's alternate Muay Thai style from Virtua Fighter 4 was removed and replaced with a Vale Tudo "Offensive" style; making her a solely Vale Tudo brawler.
All of the stages were adjusted. For example, Lei-Fei's stage in Virtua Fighter 4 previously took place during sunset, in Evolution it takes place during the morning.Action
