WWE Crush Hour is a vehicular combatvideo game published by THQ and released in 2003 for the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2. An Xbox version was planned but canceled.
Plot[edit]
WWE Crush Hour. Spin-off series of games licensed by the World Wrestling Entertainment federation. We replace the ring with a huge arena and sit behind the wheel of abstract vehicles armed with rocket launchers, rifles, flame throwers and other deadly equipment. Mar 17, 2003 WWE Crush Hour ships. THQ ships the GameCube and PS2 versions of its WWE-endorsed vehicular combat game to stores in North America.
The plot of the game consists of Vince McMahon ending up having control over all of the television networks, making WWE superstars feature on any TV show or commercial that he wants. His newest project, titled 'Crush Hour', is a demolition derby-style show featuring over 30 of the WWE superstars in their own custom cars with guns on them (Primary Weapon), and foreign objects (Optional Weapon) to enhance the destruction of the opponent's vehicles, and a 'Special Move' which will inflict significantly more damage than the other aforementioned weapons. WWE Crush Hour also features the audio commentary by Jim Ross.
Development[edit]
WWE Crush Hour was officially announced on May 16, 2002 by JAKKS Pacific and THQ. It was released on March 17, 2003 in North America, and on May 15 in Europe. The game was a budget title, and retailed for much less than other licensed games.
