'''''Rumble Roses XX''''' (pronounced '''''Rumble Roses Double X''''') is a [[female]] [[Versus fighting game|fighting]] [[video game]] that was [[video game developer|developed]] by [[YUKE's Future Media Creators]] and [[Konami]] for the [[Xbox 360]] and is the sequel to the [[Playstation 2]] game, ''[[Rumble Roses]]''. The game was released by Konami in [[North America]] on [[March 28]] [[2006]] and in [[Japan]] on [[March 30]].
==Characters==
The game features a "[[Face (professional wrestling)|face]]/[[Heel (professional wrestling)|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 bold/highlighted name is the default form for that character):
*'''[[List of Rumble Roses characters#Aigle|Aigle (Nomad)]]''' / Great Khan (The Conqueror)
*'''[[List of Rumble Roses characters#Aisha|Aisha (Dancin' Sista No. 1)]]''' / Sista A (Harlem Nightmare)
*'''[[List of Rumble Roses characters#Anesthesia|Anesthesia (Dark Nightingale)]]''' / Dr. Anesthesia (The Operator)
*Becky (Rumble Bunny) / '''[[List of Rumble Roses characters#Candy Cane (Rebecca Welsh)|Candy Cane (No Future)]]'''
*'''[[List of Rumble Roses characters#Dixie Clements|Dixie Clemets (Tex-Ax)]]''' / Sgt. Clemets (The Law Rider)
*Yasha (Immortal Revenger) / '''[[List of Rumble Roses characters#Benikage|Benikage (Kunoichi)]]'''
*'''[[List of Rumble Roses characters#Lady X|Lady X Substance(Mech-Mother)]]''' / Lady X Subsistence (The Metal Gear)
*'''[[List of Rumble Roses characters#Makoto Aihara|Makoto Aihara (Innocent Tornado)]]''' / The Black Belt Demon (Death Judo)
*'''[[List of Rumble Roses characters#Miss Spencer|Miss Spencer (The Task Master)]]''' / Mistress (The Dominatrix)
*Noble Rose (Thorn Of Justice) / '''[[List of Rumble Roses characters#Evil Rose (Fujiko Hinomoto)|Evil Rose (Beast from the Underground)]]'''
*'''[[List of Rumble Roses characters#Reiko Hinomoto|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.
===Superstars===
*'''Aigle (Mama Nature)''' / Great Khan (Princess of Wolves)
*'''Aisha (Goddess of Dance)''' / Sista A (Arabian Nightmare)
*'''Anesthesia (Dark Attendant)''' / Dr. Anesthesia (Space Oddity)
*Becky (Trick Star) / '''Candy Cane (Anarchy in the RR)'''
*'''Dixie Clemets (Wild Horse)''' / Sgt. Clemets (The Marshall)
*Yasha (The Silver Gale) / '''Benikage (The Master Ninja)'''
*'''Lady X Substance (???)''' / Lady X Subsistence (???)
*'''Makoto Aihara (Judo Idol)''' / The Black Belt Demon (Black Geisha Girl)
*'''Miss Spencer (X-Teacher)''' / Mistress (Bride of Insanity)
*Noble Rose (Crimson Phantasma) / '''Evil Rose (Dragoness)'''
*'''Reiko Hinomoto (Gene of Kamikaze)''' / Rowdy Reiko (Poisoness)
===Hidden characters===
Two hidden characters are available in Exhibition and Online modes. Sebastian (Mistress's "slave") and Non-Non (Black Belt Demon's bear). Both can be picked by holding down the LT while selecting their respective girls. Non-Non also has a "panda" version (renamed, Panda) available in the alternate costumes.
==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 wrestlers, between tag teams of two wrestlers each, or between a wrestler and a team (a more difficult [[Professional wrestling match types#Handicap match|handicap match]]).
Matches are won either through [[Pin (professional wrestling)|pinning]] an opponent or forcing the opponent to [[submission (combat sport term)|tap out]] with 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.
==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 (P. T. A.)
*Makoto Aihara & Aigle: The Great Beautiful Strong Pair (G. B. S. P.)
*Reiko Hinomoto & Dixie Clemets: Tequila Sunrise
*Dixie Clemets & Aisha: Rodeo Drive
*Anesthesia & Benikage: The Balance Of Terror
*Sista A & Mistress: The Vanity Twins
*The Black Belt Demon & Great Khan: The Naughty Empire
*Sgt. Clemets & Rowdy Reiko: Original Sin
*Dr. Anesthesia & Lady X Subsistence: Anesthesia's Experiment
==Trivia and notes==
{{Trivia|date=April 2008}}
*Lady X Substance's alter ego is Lady X: Subsistence (and nicknamed "The Metal Gear"). This is a reference to [[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater|Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence]]. (Which featured Reiko & Rowdy Reiko in its online mode.)
*Also, one of the unlockable costumes is Olga's outfit in [[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]], from the tanker story.
*Candy Cane's band, The Killer Bambies, is based on (and uses music by) [[The Killer Barbies]], a real punk band.
*The games developers planned a costume entitled 'love' for each character, which was an entirely naked costume. This idea was abandoned shortly before release, but has been hinted at in a sequel.
