I played this game consistently for at least two years. I would consider myself an aficionado of wrestling games, having played everyone for nintendo 64 and many for other systems, and I can say with no doubt that No Mercy is the best. I think the N64 controller is the perfect controller, especially for wrestling games. This game had amazing graphics for its time. As well as almost limitless options. I remember being stunned when I realized the scope of the game. They have hundreds of wrestlers, all real and unique. They were the first to also include a Legends section. Wrestlers such as Andre the Giant were featured. If you desired, you could modify them in many ways. The game includes a HUGE selection of clothes and accessories for the players to utilize. In addition to that you could create a player. In my opinion, no game even today has come close to matching No Mercy's create a wrestler option. I could write a book on all the options you could mess around with such as: clothes, skin tone, facial hair, regular hair, tattoos, accessories, protective gear, entrance moves, music, fireworks, lighting, etc............
You could also edit all of the players moves to your liking. They have an ENORMOUS move database built into this game, for every possible kind of move. Running into the ropes, standing, running, on the ground in various positions, on a turnbuckle, outside of the ring, wounded, or in a special mode. The options are limitless.
One of my other favorite aspects was a secret part built into the creation mode. They included many items of wrestlers they did not build so that you could do it. For example, my favorite wrestler, Vader, wore a distinctive red and black mask. They had that mask in the game so that you could create Vader if you want. Also, Dude Love wore a tie die shirt with a smiley face on it. They had that programmed in as well. I created many new characters, each of which you could have four preset clothing and appearance options available at any time.
I also loved the story mode. You had to fight your way to win the belts. Different things would happen depending not only on the result of your matches, but your relationships with other wrestlers backstage. You could compete for heavyweight, light-heavy, intercontinental, tag-team, hardcore, or womens belt.
This game was the first of the wrestling games to include so many options and make it so realistic. After this game, there were many terribly pathetic attempts to make a better game, but I'm afraid it's not possible. Before No Mercy, games like WCW Nitro were accepted, even though it really is a piece of shit. After No Mercy, games like Backlash were made. They have somewhat better graphics, but the controls are absolutely terrible. Also, SOOO many of the options were left out. This game is soooo much fun to play. There are many different game types- 1v1, 2v2, handicap (2v1), royal rumble (WITH UP TO 100 PEOPLE), and cage matches! Whether you just wanna kick some butt or became the champion of the world (womens and mens) this game has it ALL.
This game is AWESOME!!! I really recommend it to anyone who has an N64 or who even has a slight interest in wrestling, fighting, action, or any kind of game. Basically, I think everyone should play this game.
