According to ESRB, this game contains: Violence, Suggestive Themes
Parents who are concerned about sexual content should be on high alert for Rumble Roses. While there is no profanity or actual nudity, the ultra slinky costumes and sexually explicit wrestling attacks warrant the mature label. This title is clearly for adults only.
Pro-wrestling purists aren't going to find any serious form of a simulation here and the lack of features and modes don't help. However, some wrestling fans who like the current trend of Bra and Panties matches that are popular in the WWE will probably get a kick out of Rumble Roses.
For any wrestling fan, the actual in ring action, while not superior to most other titles, is still more than competent.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers should have no problems playing since all the cut-scenes have captions and there are plenty of on-screen icons and indicators. The only thing that will be missed is the unessential trash talking during matches.
In the 1980s, Chi grew up in small town on the outskirts of New York City called Jackson Heights. Latino actor, John Leguizamo referred to the town as the "melting pot of the world," and while living there, Chi was exposed to many diverse cultures, as well as a bevy of arcade classics such as Pac-Man, Space Ace, Space Harrier and Double Dragon. Chi's love of videogames only seemed to grow as his parents finally caved and bought him an 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System (after being the only kid in the block without one). In the 1990s, Chi finagled his way into the prestigious Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts.
Somewhere between all the gaming, Chi some how managed to finish high school and get into the New York Institute of Technology. At the same time, Chi also interned at Virtual Frontiers, an Internet software consultancy where he learned the ways of HTML. Soon after acquiring his BFA, Chi went on to become the lead Web designer of the Anti-Defamation League. During his tenure there, Chi was instrumental in redesigning and relaunching the non-profit organization's Web site.
Today, Chi is the webmaster of the American Red Cross in Greater New York and somehow managed to work through the tragic events of September 11th without losing his sanity. Chi considers GameCritics.com his life's work and continues to be amazed that the web site is still standing after the recent dotcom fallout. It is his dream that GameCritics.com will accomplish two things: 1) Redefine the grammar of videogames much the same way French film critic Andre Bazin did for the art of cinema and 2) bring game criticism to the forefront of mainstream culture much the same way Siskel & Ebert did for film criticism.
