ECW Hardcore Revolution (2000) was the first ECW-licensed video game, built on Acclaim’s Attitude engine. It introduced fans to a roster of ECW stars like Tommy Dreamer, Raven, and Sandman, while featuring hardcore stipulations that highlighted the promotion’s violent identity.

Gameplay centered on strikes, grapples, and weapon use, with blood and brutal animations adding to the spectacle. While mechanically similar to WWF Attitude, the presentation carried ECW’s grit—dark arenas, raunchy commentary, and chaotic brawls. Match types like barbed-wire bouts gave it a distinct flavor compared to mainstream WWF titles.

Though gameplay was criticized as dated, Hardcore Revolution’s significance lies in its representation of ECW during its cult peak. It remains a nostalgic favorite for fans of the hardcore brand.
