Rumble Roses XX: Женская борьба на Xbox 360

2006 video game

Rumble Roses XX (ランブルローズXX) is a female professional wrestling fighting game developed by Yuke's for the Xbox 360 as the sequel to the 2004 PlayStation 2 game Rumble Roses. The game was released by Konami in 2006.

With the exception of a simple street fighting mode, the bulk of the gameplay focuses on matches which take place in various locales. Matches can be between individual wrestlers, between tag teams of two wrestlers each, or between a wrestler and a team (a more difficult handicap match). Matches are won either through pinning an opponent or forcing the opponent to tap out with a submission move. Players can break free of these through rapid button presses, although as wrestlers suffer more damage (both overall and to specific body parts), this becomes more difficult. The general game mechanics involve striking and grappling with foes to inflict damage upon different body parts. As successful strikes and grapples are performed, players fill a finishing move gauge which can be expended to activate special moves. Attacks can also be countered with the correct timing, resulting in humiliation for the opposing character. When humiliation builds up to a certain level, wrestlers become vulnerable to special "H Moves", which have a high probability of inflicting a knockout. Other special moves activated via the filled gauges include "Killer Moves" and "Lethal Moves", which differ for each wrestler. Rumble Roses XX supports online Xbox Live gameplay for up to four players, playing as a team or against each other. The online content also allowed the player to upload or download images from the game's photo shoot mode. A wide array of character customization options are available from within the Customization Mode. These include various unlockable costumes and swimsuits, as well as adjustable sliders which can be used to increase or decrease body and muscle attributes. The game also includes a Tag Team mode where two players can partake in a tag match. Whenever two specific wrestlers are teamed up, they will have their own special team intro, team name, tag out sequence, Special Double X move and a special victory pose. There are only three characters in the game that don't have a team partner, Yasha, Becky and Evil Rose.

Unlike the previous game in the series, Rumble Roses XX does not have a story mode.

The animations for Rumble Roses XX were created with a mixture of traditional animation and motion capture. Uchida also said that they wanted to develop a game for the original Xbox, but the decision was made to develop for the 360 upon learning of its superior technical abilities. Reiko Hinomoto and her alter ego Rowdy Reiko were included as guest characters in Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence.

Rumble Roses XX received "mixed" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. It was the fifth best selling Xbox 360 title in Japan from the console's launch in December 2005 to June 2006. Unreliable source: date=June 2015 By December 2007, the game had dropped to 18th place in Japanese sales. The character Reiko Hinomoto came in fourth place in a poll that asked 1,500 Japanese gamers to name their favorite Xbox 360 heroine.

In 2006, a pachislot game inspired by the original Rumble Roses game was released. In 2008, a machine based on Rumble Roses XX was released, with a third original machine entitled Rumble Roses 3D being released in 2012. Konami Mobile developed and released Java spin off, Rumble Roses: Sexy Pinball, for mobile devices in the United States in September 2006. In 2018, Rumble Roses XX was made available on Xbox One and via backwards compatibility. These were also playable on the Xbox Series X and Series S upon their release in 2021.
