same as last year
good: more hardcore aspects, tlc,ladder,money in the bank,extreme rules and hardcore matches are more fun then last year. the roster is ok but isnt that up to date and there couldve been some replacements (replace monty cor von brown with pretty much anyone who still had a contract when this game came out). the game is pretty much based on ecw and the hardcore aspect of wrestling, so what i dont understand is how wrestlers like sabu and tommy dreamer made it to this game but taz and rvd didnt. hall of fame mode is a good new addition to the game, create a superstar aspects have been overhauled but not fully, some caws still can come out looking like the hulk with pale skin. superstar entrances are top notch as well as certain superstar win poses/scenes although certain wrestlers use generic win taunts and poses which is pretty bad considering certain wreslters who are less popular and have pretty lame win taunts...actually have them while superstars like jeff hardy and cm punk who are much more popular, use generic win poses and taunts, it just takes away the atmosphere of a wwe game but its not the big of a deal. Superstars movesets are also up to date but you can notice that alot of old animations for moves have either been reused or cleaned up a bit. it just shows how out of date certain moves can look especially if im using umaga and performing brock lesnar clothesline #2 from "smackdown here comes the pain".
bad:AI.................the artificial intelligence in this game is terrible. for example, when playing a match against a showman, they will continuously climb the turnbuckle and perform a taunt and then drop a top rope move on you.........let me remind you that i said CONTINUOUSLY, as in they will continue to perform this sequence until your superstar either reverses, the com controlled superstar decides to stop, or you reset the game. Com controlled superstars will also for some reason, continue to try and pin you on the outside of the ring, and once again its either until the superstar stops, you reverse or you reset the game. these are just examples of how too many glitches and horrible AI just make this game alot less fun than it couldve been. although most of the fame is up to date you cant shake the feeling that most of the aspects added to the game couldve easily been done in 2007's version.
garbage: 24/7 mode.........
