Overview
Description

Barbarian is a four-player fighting game that pits warriors against each other in chaotic arena battles. Developed by Saffire and published by Titus Interactive, it was released in 2002 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. The gameplay draws comparisons to Power Stone, offering weapon-based combat and split-screen multiplayer, though it received mixed reviews for its execution.

WWF Attitude brings the excitement of 1990s professional wrestling to your screen, featuring a roster of more than 40 iconic superstars like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and The Undertaker. Customize move sets and costumes to craft a unique competitor and dominate the squared circle. The game supports both single‑player and split‑screen multiplayer, with two‑man commentary from Shane McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler adding authentic broadcast flavor. Perfect for fans of classic wrestling action and competitive couch co‑op.
