CNET Editors' review
You can dress this game up, but you can hardly get it into the ring to wrestle. While MDickie's Wrestling Mpire offers plenty of character-customization features, poor controls and miserable graphics barely make it a contender. The action of the game is straightforward: you train your wrestler to take part in matches with the goal of winning the cash prize. You can construct your ultimate wrestling machine with the game's ample character options (even choosing his clothes) but given the poor graphics resolution, the athlete resembles a brick wall more than a svelte wrestling star. The game's biggest problem aside from its poorly drawn world is its game controls. There's little guidance to show you how to take down your opponent, and none of the action is intuitive. While we were impressed with the more than 20 camera angles through which you can observe the action (or lack thereof), the angles don't help you move your character any more effectively. As a final blow, the program's hefty download (85MB) is hardly justified given the game's poor graphics. While wrestling fans might be able to overlook all these shortfalls, we weren't. MDickie's Wrestling Empire has plenty of tricks, but it's just not a whole lot of fun to play.

"Real Games Vs Fake Games"
Version: Wrestling MPire 2004 1.8
Pros
I love it,ON this game you can do whatever you want when you want.Walk to the ring how you want,fight how you want,attack the opponent until he is injured,move to a diffrent organization altogether.game, greatest wrestling game i ever played. period
Cons
It lags if you dont have a good computer.
Summary
I love this product these are how wrestling games are suppose to be made, itz not about mimicking another wrestler its about creating your own character, i was asked by another organization to be there general manager, that was awesome, no story line, no holds barred, this is the greatest and im not joking the greatest wrestling game ever. I played all the WWE games, all the TNA games, i played the ECW game, none of them compared to this one, If the creator had half the budget these major companies had, then its no way in hell that this game wouldnt see the graphix or quality that the other games have, but the other games dont have character, dont have openess. think about this, all the games that are really good, the grphix arent all that great but the quality of the games are sickning, GTA, the early Final Fantasies, Metal Gear Solids, its plenty more i cnat think of them right now, all im saying is this is a game to have, im about to play it right now again

"I loved it!!"
Version: Wrestling MPire 2004 1.8
Pros
Everything about the game, injuries, game play, communication with the owners of the feds and other superstars. Everything is great to me!
Cons
LOL, honestly, the fact that it's now free :) I have been waiting for a few years to see if Mat would do that.
Summary
This is one of the best games ever made in my honest opinion. I think everyone should at least try it and understand what Mat Dickie was attempting to do with these games. He is amazing.

"One of the best wrestling games"
Version: Wrestling MPire 2004 1.8
Pros
It's hard to pinpoint one thing I like the best. It's very playable, can be played over and over with no boredom. Mods can be added to add some real life to it. Mods can also improve the graphics. It's realistic, too.
Cons
If you prefer a game with excellent graphics, you may want to look elsewhere. Also, if you have an older computer, it may have problems. Updating your computer, such as your video card, will help.

"Messed up my computer"
Version: Wrestling MPire 2004 1.8
Pros
It was fun at first - at least during the first 2 or 3 games I played.
Cons
After far too short a trial period I made the mistake of registering this turkey. It messed up my computer. It crashed almost every time I played. It is also very repetitive and I got bored playing after a while. It also seems to be a vanity game for the creator as his name is in almost constant use throughout.
When I complained about the instability of the game I got no response. Buyer beware!

"Few problems are shadowed by the fun and one of the best PC wrestling games"
Version: Wrestling MPire 2004 1.8
Pros
With the fall of WWE Smackdown franchise there are few wrestling games that still have the fun factor. This game being the few that has it.
Cons
If your looking for graphics this may not be the best place to go
