rnI highly agree with this realistic take on this game. I believe the comparison between last years game and this years game is parallel, yet, I believe 08′ was better simply because it had more modes of play.rn rnScrew the inferno match! It’s novelty wears off after the first match annnnnd that’s about it folks. Too quick of a match, much of a waste of time.rn rnRoad to Wrestlemania… I give them the benefit of the doubt for trying to replace [insert generic name] here with [insert random storyline] but that seemed to last longer than a quick 13 week mode in which you practically decimate your opponent every match.rn rnFive-stars are not hard to get by the way if anyone was wondering. Just use all of your arsenal of moves which doesn’t entail much (quick/strong grapple, attacks, corner, reversal, signature and finisher) and you’re good. I haven’t gotten a 4-star match yet just by doing these moves.rn rnI am HIGHLY, and I mean, HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED with the deletion of create-a-belt, create-a-stable, and GM Mode. Even though GM Mode was seemingly impossible at times, after a couple plays through, one could get the hang of the style and really own the ratings charts. Create-a-belt was awesome but hard to obtain money to work with. However, the best part about it was putting them up for grabs in-home or online.rn rnThis brings me to another major flaw. WTF! When you create-a-wrestler, if you add a logo, design, or pattern, you cannot take that CAW online?! WTF ARE THEY DOING!!! That was one of the best parts about online mode! Not only displaying your expertise, but showing off your CAWs online at times we all could admit was priceless. Now they had to go and screw that up to… doesn’t surprise me.rn rnAlong with the addition of useless time-consuming modes like the highlight reel, the new RTWM mode, and the deletion of legends challenges or WM memoy matches, create-a-belt, create-a-stable(which is stupid because they supposedly are emphasizing TAG TEAM of group wrestling now which is another unnoticable change), and GM mode, this game blows BIG TIME! There isn’t even a buried alive match anymore which they could’ve greatly improved on, and they give us a crap inferno match, a crap backstage brawl and a crap locker-room brawl, @$$HOLE$!!!rn rnPlease, put me on the creative team at THQ and Jacks Pacific and I’ll bring real players who want to see new and better things along with improvements in gameplay, style, and look and I now we’ll give everyone a hell of a wrestling game. Thank you for reading my post.
