Essentially a successor to WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game, In Your House is not a wrestling game in the normal sense, as it is heavily influenced by Mortal Kombat. It features digitized sprites of the wrestlers, and many over the top, unrealistic, and magical moves and taunts by the wrestlers[1]. The game also featured finishing moves which are performed before the final pin.
Instead of typical wrestling arenas, WWF In Your House featured personalised stages for each individual wrestler, such Shawn Michaels' Club, Stu Hart's Dungeon and Undertaker's Crypt.
The game features 10 total wrestlers: The British Bulldog, Goldust, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Ahmed Johnson, Shawn Michaels, The Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, and Vader. In-game commentary is supplied by Vince McMahon and Mr. Perfect.
The game was not well received by critics; it scores of 5.6 (DOS) and 4.6 (PlayStation) on GameSpot[2]. While GameFAQs reviews are more mixed, most agree that the game is a poor sequel to WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game[3]. Some strong points are the enhanced graphics, the addition of a 4 player mode and the wrestler selection.
