The graphics kind of blow, but the music rocks. It's better than most handheld wrestling games I've played, but it jobs out to GBA's "Fire Pro Wrestling" in a heartbeat.

There were times when I considered slapping this game with a 2 out of 5 just because its graphics are $#^% poor and its gameplay is fairly mindless, but WWE Aftershock has an addictive quality to it that slowly worked its way to my heart (awwww).

Even as a mindless button-masher, WWE Aftershock isn't particularly successful.

The absolutely unattractive graphics are really off-putting, because I know (as well as any N-Gage fan) the machine can do much better. If you are a wrestling fan, I still advise you to steer clear.

Poor graphics, shallow gameplay and a limited replay value amount to nothing more than a mind-numbing experience.

I think this one could be dropkicked into the bottom of the bin after you finish playing it.

Just an unforgivably bad excuse for a wrestling game. It doesn’t push the N-Gage to its limits, the core element of the game is shrunk to just a couple different button presses, and there is almost no way to get real satisfaction out of playing this game.
