A Queens Match takes place on an island where you're fighting in bathing suits, and the winner has to do crazy things like take a sexy pose on the beach while you move the camera around, or get down on all fours and act like a cat. Hey, it's guilty pleasure at its finest!

The street fights take a bit of the wrestling factor out of RRXX and turn it into a pseudo-fighting game. The winner is no longer determined by who gets pinned first. Instead, you play by fighting game rules where the winner is the person who still has health left at the end of the round. Both characters have a health bar at the top of the screen, and you can even juggle your opponent by launching them into the air and following up with an air combo.

With every match you win in Rumble Roses, you'll earn points and popularity. As your popularity increases you'll gain access to the superstar version of your character with new attacks and an altered intro. You can use your points to buy outfits for your created wrestler, or buy a digital camera for the photo mode. With the digital camera you can set your preferred wrestler up in a sexy pose (you can buy more poses as well) and snap away from any angle. You can even share these pictures over Xbox Live.

Speaking of Xbox Live, you can play singles or tag team online, and from the limited experience we had playing online (no one else was playing so the servers weren't really being pushed) things run smoothly with very little lag. However, the online mode is very unfriendly. If you want to play against your friend, you have to invite them into a game. After a single match has ended, you're kicked back out to the main online menu and your friend will have to invite you back in if you want to play again. Why can't these companies learn from what Tecmo has done with Dead or Alive and create a nice lobby system so you don't have to be troubled with inviting the same person over and over again?

The other issue with playing online is that you can't play two player tag battles on the same team. If you have four players you can jam out in a two on two tag match, but if it's just you and a friend, you can't team up and take down the computer in a tag match. If you're going to offer online play in a wrestling game you need to go all out. This is especially true when we're talking about Konami's first Xbox 360 title where online play is a big deal. Konami really did a half-assed job with the online section of Rumbles Roses XX.

The hardcore fighting game fan in me wants to bash on Rumble Roses XX for its shallow wrestling engine, but that's not what this game is all about. If you're looking for a super deep wrestling title, you've already got that with Smackdown. RRXX is for the people that just want to have fun and look at some sexy polygonal females. Take some pictures in provocative positions and send them to your friends. Put your lady friend on the beach in a bikini, buy an umbrella from the store, and move the camera around until you hit that perfect angle. Or just have a friend over and mash away at each other in the wrestling or street fighting modes. You've got counters and stuff for a bit of depth, but you can have just as much fun mashing away and watching all the sexy grappling moves. Casual gamers, this is your wrestling title... hardcore fans (of wrestling, minds out of the gutter!), look elsewhere.
