======================================================================
Hello everyone, and yet again, welcome to another of Beautiful Affair
Ryan Harrison's great FAQs. As you may have noticed, I have used a
totally new style for writing my FAQs, because it makes it much more
neat and it's easier for me to write it. This FAQ is for one of my
newest game I bought, WCW Backstage Assault. I really like this game,
and have had some good experience of playing it before. I am also
going to try to write a FAQ for WWF Smackdown! Just Bring It later
on - keep an eye out for it - as some of you should know how much I
love wrestling!
This FAQ has only really gotten started and is nowhere near complete,
but it is gradually beginning to build. I am quite busy with running
my website, contributing to others and updating my other walkthroughs
which may mean updates may not be as constant.
I chose to write a walkthrough for this game because there were no
general FAQs up on GameFAQs and I found it on the request system, so
I thought I would oblige by writing this. So enjoy this FAQ folks,
hope it's useful.
Bye. :)

2.0 Game Review
======================================================================
Okay, so maybe WCW Backstage Assault maybe isn't the best wrestling
game in the world, and the graphics look rather cardboardish for a
PlayStation game released in the same year as WWF Smackdown! (another
one of my wrestling favourites), but there are many WCW superstars to
play as, to unlock, and there is a great challenge in the game,
depending on which WCW Championship you are competing for. It's
good because of its 3-D control & wrestling environment.
The game was released in 2000 on the PlayStaion and on the Nintendo
64. I haven't played the N64 version of the game yet, so I have no
idea what it'll be like playing it with a N64 controller. This game
certainly is fun, but I still prefer WCW Mayhem for PlayStation over
this game, but I enjoy pretty much any WCW game for the PlayStation.
In the game you can only compete in 3 match varieties: your regular
hardcore match, a first-blood type match and a torch match. Plus
you're doing it all backstage without any referees, so your
environment is pretty much how any wrestling fan likes it!! With so
many moves and wrestlers to unlock and three different WCW titles to
compete for, you certainly won't get bored from this game too easily.
Now, here's my actual review for WCW Backstage Assault:
O==============O
|GAMEPLAY: 7/10|
O==============O
Overall Gameplay ain't too bad for this game. Maybe the
moves look a little blunt but still recognisable. The
controls maybe look difficult from playing in a 3-D environment,
but it only took me about 5 minutes to get used to them, so
they're not really that bad actually. You have a good
challenge from playing the Hardcore Challenge, and for all
those experts have the Hardcore Gauntlet! Competing for the
World Championship is _really_ difficult, but practise,
practise, practise, and you'll eventually get used to it!
The controls are quite good and unique in this game. It's
like one of those WCW/nWo Revenge style controls, where you
have to grapple your opponent and hit a move. Moves are
also quite easy to pull off, which is another good thing
about gameplay. The Hardcore Challenge mode is great, too.
The Create-A-Wrestler system is pretty basic though, here
is an area where improvement could have been made.
O==========O
|STORY: N/A|
O==========O
Exactly the same as about every other wrestling game: there
is no story! You're a normal, average everyday WCW Superstar
and you're sacrifising yourself just to get your hands on the
World Championship. Basic, simple, yet it's a wrestling game.
O=================O
|AUDIO/VIDEO: 6/10|
O=================O
Compared to other games released in the same year, or even
earlier than this one, the graphics do look flat and could
have been improved. However the TitanTron videos are very
high quality, and look fantastic! As for sound, there's not
many soundtracks in the game, but the commentating does sound
great, and possibly much more realistic than WWF Smackdown! Just
Bring It.
O================O
|BUY OR RENT: BUY|
O================O
If you're a wrestling fan, you really should own the game. If
not, I'd recommend renting it first. Even if you're not a
wrestling fan you may possibly like this game. I paid 8 pounds
for the game, so don't spend any more than say $20 for it.
O===========================O
|GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS GAME|
O===========================O
Challenge.
Realistic TitanTrons videos.
Great commentary system.
Lots to unlock, making it fun!
Wide variety of WCW superstars.
Addictive.
Easy to learn controls.
O==========================O
|BAD THINGS ABOUT THIS GAME|
O==========================O
Rather blunt graphics.
CAW system is rather basic.
Animation is a bit iffy.
O=============O
|OVERALL: 7/10|
O=============O
Overall a great wrestling game I am sure any wrestling fan will
enjoy. Great modes to play, three great match types, a wide
variety of WCW superstars to choose from, easy controls and so
much stuff to unlock, you are going to enjoy this game for a
long time. Anyways, peace out...

======================================================================
4.0 Basics
======================================================================
What can I say? Here are the basics for the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1 Game Basics
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In WCW Backstage Assault, there are many different modes to choose
from and to play. You have the simple and plain exhibition, which
you'll find in just about any wrestling game you come across, the
Hardcore Challenge, where your WCW superstar will comepte for a title
with a set difficulty, no-holds-barred style. If you're a real expert
at the game, you can try yourself out with the Hardcore Gauntlet.
Create your own WCW superstar - that sounds simple, doesn't it?
There's the Hall of Champions where you can relive past championship
glory and the options. Here is a quick rundown of each of these
menus:
EXHIBITION
==========
In exhibition mode, you can have a friendly match against the
computer or a friend, set the rules, and the stipulations. When you
select exhibition, you will be brought to the SETTINGS screen with
settings for the match you are going to create:
PLAYERS
-------
Choose whether you're going to play as yourself or with a friend.
DIFFICULTY
----------
If you're playing in a One Player mode, you can set the CPU
difficulty with this setting.
SPECIAL RULES
-------------
With regular rules, you'll fight a regualar no-holds-barred,
hardcore, falls-count-anywhere match. In a First Blood match, you
must make your opponent bleed to claim the victory. In a Human
Torch match you have to set your opponent alight to get the win.
BRAWL LENGTH
------------
If you're playing with regualar rules, you can choose how long you
want your fight to last.
SUBMISSION
----------
If you want to get the submission victory, you must enable this
first!
KNOCK OUTS
----------
You can clobber your opponent until he can fight no more if you
enable this setting.
HARDCORE CHALLENGE
==================
In this mode you can unlock WCW superstars, arenas, moves, and have
a shot at a particular WCW title. If you're going for the Hardcore
title the difficulty will be set on EASY, the U.S. title is MEDIUM,
and the World title is on the HARD difficulty. You will have to
go through a number of superstars before you can get your hands on
the gold.
HARDCORE GAUNTLET
=================
If you're a real expert at WCW Backstage Assault, you'll definitely
be destined for this! Fight 7 matches one after the other with NO
RECOVERY TIME!
CREATE A SUPERSTAR
==================
(More on this explained later on in the FAQ)
Create your own WCW superstar and give him any kind of looks or moves
you want.
HALL OF CHAMPIONS
=================
Relive the past WCW championship glories and high scores.
GLOBAL OPTIONS
==============
Your basic options menu. Here, you can adjust Music Volume, Speech
Volume, Sound FX, Crowd Volume, enable realism (blood), and
controller vibration.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2 Match Types
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three match types you can play in WCW Backstage Assault.
Each is a great match type to play, especially Human Torch mode!!
Here is a detailed rundown of the three match types you can play.
REGULAR
=======
Two WCW superstars go head to head backstage with no referees to call
anything. You must use moves, weapons, and skill to put your opponent
down for the pinfall after you have dismantled them.
FIRST BLOOD
===========
In this match, you must make your opponent bleed to get the win. Use
weapons often, and you should be done in no time. Whipping your
opponent into things will also give you a distinct advantage.
HUMAN TORCH
===========
One of my personal favourite types of match, you have to set your
opponent on fire to get the win! An easy way to do this is by whipping
them into a flaming barrel, or use a 2x4, that's flammable!

5.0 Wrestlers & Move Lists
======================================================================
OK here's the real nitty gritty - the MOVE lists!! I will be updating
this FAQ often to get the Move List finished in the near future, and
I might also add updates, statistics and highlights about superstars
in future updates. For now, it's pretty basic and I've only got a
few superstars' move lists up, but I'm going to try to add 2 or 3 for
each working day I get to update this FAQ.

6.0 Create A Wrestler
======================================================================
What is really enjoyable about wrestling games is that you can create
your own wrestlers for the organization, and here is no exception! If
you want to create your own wrestler or modify one you have already
made, select 'Create A Wrestler' from the main menu and you will be
brought up to a 'Select Wrestler' screen. Press right several times
until you are in the 'WCW 8' section. Beneath Major Gunns are custom
wrestlers with their default nicknames. Selct one of them so you can
modify it. There are 6 Customs, each of which have the following
names:
Custom A - Punker
Custom B - Biker Grrrrl
Custom C - Shoot Fighter
Custom D - Femme Fatale
Custom E - Southern Thunder
Custom F - Warlock
You can modify these customs to create your own wrestler, or even
modify the existing ones. You can give the customs names,
appearances, abilities and moves. Here is a rundown (still incomplete
currently) of setting you can give for your CAW.
