LPW All-Stars (video game)

LPW: The Video Game is the first e-wrestling video game released by Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW). The game was developed by Public Enemy Multimedia, LLC and published by THQ.

The game is based on the e-wrestling promotion Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW). Similar to previous wrestling games, LPW: The Video Game involves players competing in various different professional wrestling matches, either as one of the in-game characters based on LPW's roster or as a character created in the Create-a-Superstar mode. LPW: The Video Game adds several new features with the main theme based around customization, such as a Story Designer allowing players to create their own playable LPW storylines, an expansion on the Create-a-Finisher mode to include aerial techniques and for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, the customization of attire colors in a mode called Superstar Threads, a revamped Create-a-Superstar mode and a Paint Tool for creating logos to use on their created characters.

Features
LPW: The Video Game is geared towards a quick-paced, high-impact style of play, with less emphasis on submission maneuvers. It supports up to four players at once on a console. Finishers are accessed by building up the "Insanity meter" displayed on the screen. In the same area a color-coded damage indicator shows the condition of characters. The game also features mini-games for escaping pin attempts and submission holds.

LPW's signature match, the DeathCube Match, is a playable match type, alongside the more standard singles, tag team and other multi-competitor matches. Submission and Hardcore matches are also included. 12 different venues are available, ranging from the arenas of Insanity, Inferno and pay-per-views to all 4 Altered Reality arenas and Insanity's X-Mas Special venue.

A feature called Countdown to AR IV gives the player the chance to play as their favourite wrestler and compete in storylines that lead up to either a LPW World Heavyweight Championship or LPW International Heavyweight Championship match.


 * There are 14 pre-built in storylines which include: cYnical, Krimson Mask, Hatchet Ryda, X, Phantom Lord, SoL, Drew Michaels, White Falcon, Mass Chaos, NPD, Styxx, Tromboner Man, Jude Maxwell & a storyline named "Brand Warfare" where you can take the side of Insanity ( Andy Savana & Blackwell ) or Inferno ( Eddie B. & Al ).

Over 40 LPW Superstars are featured on the game, along with unlockable Legends, tag teams, stables and alumni.

Roster
LPW: The Video Game features 65 in-game superstars on each console. The roster was revealed on November 21 during a live webcast hosted by GameSpot, featuring MC Steel, TJ Tilli & World Heavyweight Champion Hatchet Ryda as guests. The roster in the 2010 edition is split into four classifications: Insanity, Inferno, Legends & Alumni. Like previous wrestling games, players can choose to change the character's classification in a roster editor called Superstar Management.
