I was lukewarm about this game over all, it's like smelling a delicious home cooked meal from a mile away but there's only bite size portions on your plate that leaves you hungry. That's what this game did to me. I was very disappointed but I enjoyed what I could so I didn't trash it completely. Let me tell you what I liked about the game before I get to the meat and potatoes of why i feel like i wasted money. The New Royal Rumble elimination style match: Now this feature wasn't as bad,as much as I loved fast play game action from the past, it was easy for me to get eliminated but this new feature gave us control over how to diminish those chances. I could never learn the gorilla press over the top of the ropes but I enjoyed this feature for the most part. This feature didn't disappoint me at all. The Graphics were Awesome and better than HCTP: Now it's expected for a game sequel to surpass the previous game's standards and the graphics didn't disappoint. I saw a few reviews of complaints for them but I thought they were fantastic, The Announcing and Commentary was back: Don't know why they ranked this in HCTP? Here comes the bull if you know what i mean, this is what I hated about the game......EVERYTHING ELSE! Season mode was very limited and lacked creative freedom that we had in previous games. 2) Very limited attires in the games and the unlock able attires were cheesy and undesirable 3) Challenge mode was dumb! 4) No Tag Team Titles in season mode 5) Where is Brock Lesnar? Lita? and Rikishi?
Overall this game wasn't terrible but it didn't surpass HCTP and this is where wrestling games have taken a step backwards.
