Its a great wrestling game with a simple style of gameplay with light and heavy attacks and then all the other types (eg doing a move behind your oppeonent like a german suplex), You can stop any move by reversing or a move to be done on someone else thanks to a "rag-doll" like physics gameplay. Theres a fair bit of "A" bashing when submissions are applied. Also there is a "weight restriction" gameplay included meaning someone like Rey Mysterio can't lift some Heavy like the Big Show. Graphically it looks quite real with the arena details almost matching the sets from real PPV's and the charatcers themselves look realistic with the most noticable Kane face like it was scanned in. The lighting effects are quite real as well. About 90% of what the wrestlers music were around March (Wrestlemania 20) is in the game. Sadly a very limited roster of 40 superstars which includes 31 Raw and Smackdown superstars,4 divas???, and the rest,legends. The story mode provides some good fun but is no real season mode. Also there is only 4 people plus the referee in the ring max at one time. Match modes are in basic form 1on1,tag,3way,4way,handicap (2on1)ladder, TLC,cage, Hell in the cell, Iron man and royal rumble but you can customise it in any way you want, (eg a 4way no pin,sumbit,dq match and only win by having the other superstars counted out, outside of the ring), Create a Wrestler mode is good as ever and now you can take a photo of he/she and when your on the wrestler select screen there will be a picture of your created character. Overall i reckon its good if you like wrestling or beat-em ups but the game sort of moves slugish in a way. Is it worth the money? hmm maybe wait for a price drop if not sure.
