The object
The object
Legends II contains 25 wrestlers that were not in the first game, though also excludes Rob Van Dam, presumably because he had recently been signed to a WWE contract. The game does contain Eddie Guerrero who, although unemployed at the time, re-signed with WWE by the time the game was released. A Game Boy Advance version of the game was released on November 25, 2002. It was the last game developed by Acclaim's Salt Lake City studio before its closure in December 2002. The PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions included video interviews with many of the legends featured in the game while the European version of the game includes four exclusive additional legends from the United Kingdom: Kendo Nagasaki, Big Daddy, Mick McManus, and Giant Haystacks. Whilst the console version received generally mixed reviews, the Game Boy Advance version of the game received universally negative reviews, being noted as one of the worst games to release on the system.

Gameplay
Gameplay
Within Career Mode, a wrestler will be working for a specific promoter in each area. By winning the belt for that division and successfully defending it, said promoter will become available for purchase in Shop Mode. Note that the world region is only available after completion of all the American territories. Each territory has 8–12 storylines chosen at random. Certain storylines may not be available based on the wrestler used by the player. For example, if the player uses Jerry Lawler, the only storyline he can play in the Southeast region is based on the famous feud Lawler had with comedian Andy Kaufman. The game also features a Create-a-Legend mode (CAL). Players can create their own custom made characters which can be used for storyline mode as well as exhibition play.
