Let the guilty pleasures roll. That's right, I thought Konami's first Xbox 360 title, Rumble Roses XX, was a decent amount of fun. Now let's back it up a bit so I can tell you why. I'm a big fighting game fan, I play Tekken and Dead or Alive at higher levels than you (that means I'm the guy who you yell at for having no life when he beats you to a pulp -- sore losers). However, I have never liked wrestling games, aside from the arcade style wrestler, WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game, back in arcades and on the original PlayStation. So when I got the call to review Rumble Roses XX, I didn't exactly jump for joy.

Nevertheless, I popped the game into the Xbox 360 debug, watched the scantily clad females dance around in the intro, and started playing. This game is all about guilty pleasure and fun. It's a wrestling title, so the depth isn't really there if you're looking for a ton of different options in the ring, but outside of the ring is where a lot of the fun can be found. But again, I'm getting ahead of myself, let me back up and take this review one step at a time.

If you're looking for a super deep wrestling engine, you need to hit up the Smackdown series from THQ. Rumble Roses XX features over twenty wrestlers, and while some are no more than evil sides of an existing character, it doesn't really matter. All of these lovely ladies fight exactly the same. Sure, when I press Up and Y to perform a grapple technique, it will look different than the same button combination with another wrestler, but the effect is the same. The only variety you'll see in the standard wrestling mode is in the animations for each of the various attacks and grapples.

This actually brings me to the first guilty pleasure bit. During certain grappling techniques you'll be able to move the camera around to get a better view of the two females going at it in the ring. Yes, my mind drifted into the gutter a few times during these moments, but that's okay, I was playing Rumble Roses people... in high definition no less. And while the babes aren't as detailed as the Dead or Alive 4 characters, the skin looks considerably better. One of the main complaints of the DOA series is that the characters always look like dolls. That's certainly not the case with RRXX, but one problem with the graphics is that some of the ladies look a bit too muscular for my tastes.

That said, one of the biggest features of RRXX is the ability to edit your wrestler, or even create a custom wrestler. If you like an existing lady, you can edit their muscle tone, change what they're wearing (the less clothing the better, right?), change the color of each piece of clothing, customize their intro music when they enter the ring and a slew of other options. Creating your own wrestler allows you to get down to the details of their make-up and every else. While the create-a-lady mode isn't quite as deep as create-a-character modes in the Smackdown series, it's still quite a bit of fun.

Aside from the wrestling and customizing, you can play in several different gameplay modes, each offering a slightly different experience. The standard matches are you basic wrestling affairs; pin your opponent and the match is over. This is the same for tag and singles play. However, you can also play in a Queens Match, or take it to the streets in a street fight.
