OUTSTANDING
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
where the previous game in this series faltered, this game shines.
i picked this up at ebgames at the cape cod mall for $8, and i'm sooooo glad i did.
this game is amazing. the graphics are excellent, the control is tight, the sound is dead on. i just like to get that crap out of the way and get down to the nitty-gritty.
the season mode lasts for two years on this game. at an average of 5 matches per month, you're gonna be playing this game for a looooong time. there are many different plot twists depending on what you do/say. soooooo much to do.
the customization is OFF THE WALL! you can alter every single little thing about your wrestler. nose width/length, mouth depth, eye width/height.. this can make for some interesting/fugly looking characters. :D it's just so much fun! tattoos, accessories, masks, skin color, body parts, etc. if you can imagine it, you can probably make it in this game (granted it must have two arms, one head & two legs)
it takes about an hour or two to fully customize your character, but it's worth it. the first time you step into the ring with them, you feel like you're really there.
the entrances are also noteworthy. this time around, you can decide what name the announcer calls when your character enters, music, moves, movie...
total customization. i'll leave it at that.
the MATCHES! ohhhhhhhhhhh baby. instead of listing all there are (which would take up the remaining 2000 characters) i'll say what's missing. inferno, texas strap (or whatever) basically, the quirky once-in-a-decade matches. everything else is here.
there are innumerable ways to beat your opponent senseless. weapons are hidden under the ring, foam hands in the corridor, put them through the announce tables, etc. the counter/reversal system has taken on a life of it's own, almost as if it's become an art form. you know how the lighter-weights will grapple, throw, duck, reverse, without one gaining advantage over the other? that happens here. these games just keep getting more and more realistic.
an extremely worthy addition to the wrestling fans library.
there's not much else to say, except:
