WWE Aftershock is a professional wrestling video game released exclusively on the N-Gage in 2005.
Development
The game was announced by Nokia in collaboration with THQ and WWE in August 2004.[2][3] It was originally scheduled to release in the fourth quarter of 2004,[3] then February 2005,[1] and then later on March 22.[4]
Gameplay
There are five main events and Survival (multiple enemies at the same time), King of the Ring (ladder tournament), and Tag Team (two versus two) match options.[5] WWE Aftershock includes 12 WWE superstars, such as John Cena. The game features two-player contests through Bluetooth and the N-Gage Arena. Two of the twelve wrestlers are unlockable by winning the King of the Ring and playing in two-player contests. The AI controls two of the wrestlers in multiplayer King of the Ring. Attacks include hits, grapples, and Irish whips. Submission holds are available after a takedown. Each character has four front grapples and ground grapples, and his signature move or hold.[5][6] Every button is assigned one action.[6] The wrestlers grapple in a 3D arena. Wrestlers have entrance music.[7][8][9]
