"WCW Backstage Assault would make a good compliment to a regular wrestling title, and together the two might form a decent overall wrestling game. The state that its in now, however, does not even earn it a stamp of approval as a rental."
"...lackluster gameplay, horrendous graphics, and feeble controls... a modest list of gameplay modes... The fatal flaw of Backstage Assault is that it doesn't have any ring matches whatsoever... The only redeeming quality in Backstage Assault is its audio..."
"The game focuses on the grudge match, which means only two players can go head-to-head. However, the game contains a host of two-player games, such as First Blood and Human Torch."
