It's unbelievable that this game is outclassed by a decade old N64 game.
I've been out of the wrestling game market for a couple generations at this point. Back on the N64 I put some significant time into both WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF WrestleMania 2000 from AKI and THQ. I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I booted up Lucha Libre: AAA Heroes del Ring and found gameplay that was absolutely no better than what was available back on the N64. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay isn't terrible, but it has seen no advancement, and as a matter of fact, when compared to WrestleMania 2000, which was even suceeded by yet another title, WWF No Mercy, the gameplay is clearly not as advanced. Given that Lucha Libre doesn't even match up to a series of games from the N64, it's tough to cut it any slack.
