[edit] Characters
The game features a "face/heel" system, the "face" characters being "good girls" and the "heel" characters being "bad girls." Each character has both a "face" and a "heel" version. The game re-casts all the wrestlers from the original Rumble Roses, although some of the names have changed since then (the bolded/highlighted name is the default form for that character):
- Aigle (Nomad) / Great Khan (The Conqueror)
- Aisha (Dancin' Sista No. 1) / Sista A. (Harlem Nightmare)
- Anesthesia (Dark Nightingale) / Dr. Anesthesia (The Operator)
- Becky (Rumble Bunny) / Candy Cane (No Future)
- Dixie Clemets (Tex-Ax) / Sgt. Clemets (The Law Rider)
- Yasha (Immortal Revenger) / Benikage (Kunoichi)
- Lady X (Mech-Mother) / Lady X Subsistence (The Metal Gear)
- Makoto Aihara (Innocent Tornado) / The Black Belt Demon (Death Judo)
- Miss Spencer (The Task Master) / Mistress (The Dominatrix)
- Noble Rose (Thorn Of Justice) / Evil Rose (Beast From Underground)
- Reiko Hinomoto (The Zero Fighter) / Rowdy Reiko (Queen Cobra)
In addition to the two opposing versions of each character, a "superstar" version is also available, featuring different attributes and moves.

[edit] Gameplay
With the exception of a simple street fighting mode, the bulk of the gameplay focuses on matches which take place in various locales. Matches can be between individual female fighters, between tag teams of two fighters each, or between a fighter and a team (a more difficult "handicap match").
Matches are won either through pinning an opponent until the count of three (a "pinfall"), or through forcing the opponent to "tap out" in pain during a submission move. Players can break free of these through rapid button presses, although as wrestlers suffer more damage (both overall and to specific body parts), this becomes more difficult.
The general game mechanics involve striking and grappling with foes to inflict damage upon different body parts. As successful strikes and grapples are performed, players fill a finishing move gauge which can be expended to activate special moves. Attacks can also be countered with the correct timing, resulting in humiliation for the opposing character. When humiliation builds up to a certain level, wrestlers become vulnerable to special "H-Moves", which have a high probability of inflicting a knockout. Other special moves activated via the filled gauges include "Killer Moves" and "Lethal Moves", which differ for each wrestler.
[edit] Features
Rumble Roses XX supports online Xbox Live gameplay for up to four players, playing as a team or against each other. The online content also allows the player to upload or download images from the game's photo shoot mode.
A wide array of character customization options are available from within the Career Mode. These include various unlockable costumes and swimsuits, as well as adjustable sliders which can be used to increase or decrease body and muscle attributes.
The game also includes a Tag Team mode were two players can partake in a tag match. Whenever two specific wrestlers are teamed up, they will have their own special team intro, team name, tag-out sequence, Special Double X move and a special victory pose.
The special teams and their names are:
- Reiko Hinomoto & Noble Rose: The Kamikaze Typhoon
- Candy Cane & Miss Spencer: The Punk & Teacher Alliance (PTA)
- Makoto Aihara & Aigle: The Great Beautiful Strong Pairs (G. B. S. P.)
- Reiko Hinomoto & Dixie Clemets: Tequilla Sunrise
- Dixie Clemets & Aisha: Rodeo Drive
- Anesthesia & Benikage: The Balance of Terror
- Sista A & Mistress: The Vanity Twins
- Black Belt Demon & Great Kahn: The Naughty Empire
- Sgt. Clemets & Rowdy Reiko: The Original Sin
- Dr. Anesthesia & Lady X Subsistence: Anesthesia's Experiment
Note: Yasha & Becky have a Special Double X move and victory pose, but they don't have a team name, special intro or tag-out sequence. The Naughty Empire doesn't have a special team intro.
[edit] Trivia and notes
Because the name Rumble Rose is already trademarked in South Korea, Konami is planning to release the game there under the name Rock n' Roses XX.
