Features
After ECW Hardcore Revolution was disappointingly received due to, among other reasons, the lack of an ECW feel, Acclaim tried to compensate for this by adding many new match types. Among these are the Street Fight, Table Match, Inferno Match, Dumpster Match, Lion's Den, Hate Match, and the Team Rumble.
The game featured new control mechanics as well, but these felt very similar to the controls that had been with the series since WWF War Zone. Rounding out the additions is the revamped career mode. There was a Nintendo 64 version of this game but it was cancelled as the console was approaching the end of its life.
This was the last game that was made for ECW before its bankruptcy, the members' participation in The Invasion and ECW's purchase by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), but Acclaim went on to produce the Legends of Wrestling series. The more recent incarnation of ECW would appear in four games in the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw series (2008–2011).

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
