WWE Day of Reckoning is kinda disappointing...
by Troy-M on Comments
I beat the RAW storyline less than an hour ago, and I must say that the game's storyline is still pretty bad: unlike Here Comes the Pain, which is arguably the best 3D wrestling game to date, its storyline is 99% linear. I say 99% because you have one choice throughout the entire Story mode: the choice to go to RAW or Smackdown! I won't spoil anything, but when I thought I had a choice for once, the Story mode did it for me. What the hell? Also, the game isn't that faithful to the real-life storyline, with Bischoff treating the real-life heels like the good guys and vice versa. There are no voices at all, either. These two things, altogether, form a lack of a genuine WWE atmosphere, and feels more like some kind of parallel universe. WWE fanatics will be very disappointed. I'll post a full review on PGNx (www.pgnx.net) either on Labor Day or the day after--which is the first day of school--and I'll write one up later that week for Gamespot. Not like any of you care, though...>_> For now, here are my ratings: Gameplay - 5 (Mediocre) Graphics - 7 (Good) Sound - 6 (Fair) Value - 6 (Fair) Tilt - 6 (Fair) Overall - 5.9 (Mediocre) Anyways, why do Saturdays, the second-best day of the week--next to Friday--have to be so boring during summer break? :'(
