WWE WrestleMania X8

About

WWE WrestleMania X8 brings the chaos of professional wrestling to the GameCube with a roster featuring Rob Van Dam, Booker T, and nWo alumni like Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. Play as established stars or build your own wrestler from scratch using a career mode that lets you climb the ranks toward the Heavyweight Championship. Matches emphasize timing and strategy with counters, reversals, and signature moves that define each fighter's style. Split-screen mode adds a local co-op option for face-to-face brawls. The game stands out for its 2002-era roster accuracy and straightforward controls that balance accessibility with depth. While the career path offers a clear progression system, the focus remains on fast-paced action over simulation. Fans of the time might appreciate the inclusion of Hogan and Nash's nWo faction, though the single-player story lacks modern polish. A relic of early 2000s wrestling games, it delivers basic mechanics wrapped in recognizable WWE spectacle.
