With a rather shallow Road to Wrestlemania and other graphical and gameplay issues, this in need of some work.

From a technical standpoint, the graphics are at a glance, amazing in this game as they should be. The player models are for the most part, accurate. There are a few visual glitches every now and then, including a rather annoying one where if a person has the champion belt over their shoulders it appears about three feet above it and not resting on the shoulder itself, and the same goes for most superstars' hair when the hair goes beyond the neck.

It is a disappointment that GM mode has been taken out instead of improved, as well as the lack of a story mode for the other characters. The story for Road to Wrestlemania will always be the same unless you make the extremely limited choice, in which case you will only be fighting a slightly different character.

The gameplay itself is rather interesting. I certainly prefer to play wrestling games on a PS2 controller, and THQ doesn't make me feel like they did a great job. There are times where I feel like the controls are extremely awkward.

Overall, this is a game that I am glad I played and it shall be sent back to Gamefly in a matter of one or two days.
