The game has many match types, and instead of just a season mode where you play as a wrestler, there is a GM mode where you manage the show of your choice. There are some new match types, like bar brawl, buried alive, and fufill youre fantasy. The roster is pretty big with some legends to unlock, which you have to buy during the season mode. There is create a wrestler, create a title, create a move set, and create a stable which is like an alliance.
New Feautures
There are a few features such as Stamina, where as the match goes on and as you get hit/or attack you lose stamina. To regain stamine just hold select. Momentum is another feature, wherein the more attacks you do and the less you get hit you will gain momentum. When the momentum bar is full you receive a special move.
Load Times
The load times are ok. They are really only bad when you have entrances on cause it takes time to load each entrance and then the match. In the middle of the match sometimes there is a brief pause for like one or two seconds. The menus take very long to get to the next menu. When creating something it takes forever to load all the styles of clothes, hair, face, etc.
Graphics
The graphics are great for a wrestling game, and even better for a wrestling game on the PSP. There are some glitches, like missing the attack or getting hit from across the ring. Sometimes the computer gets stuck in corners or on top of a table.
Controls
The controls are pretty easy, and easy to get used to. There is one problem though, the lack of an R2 button, usually it switches focus to which wrestler you are attacking, but since the PSP has no R2 you might find yourself hitting the wrong guy.
Sound and Music
Almost all the tracks are by John Cena in this game and there are also some really good rock songs. The sound effects are pretty descent.
Mini Games
They're really boring and have no point such as Texas Hold' Em, Eugenes Airplane Race in which you have to balance Eugene (mentally slow wrestler) to the ring. There is also a game show which is trivia.
Overall Value
The game is long, fun and never gets boring, at least it hasn't for me. The mini-games are horrible but it's just an add on, so I can't really take off for that. It would have got a 100 if the loading wasn't as bad. Overall, great game! Great for wrestling fans and if you aren't into wrestling games then this will get you into it!
Hey, about the price on this game.... I just got it at Best Buy this week. It was on sale for $34.99. You can also buy one of their "video game" gift cards that have the coupon for five dollars off on the back. I ended up only paying $29.99 and it is totally worth that. I used to be a huge wrestling fan, but I'm not anymore. This game will not disappoint whether you are a fan or not. Not sure if Best Buy is still having the sale or not, or if it was just the one here in Birmingham, AL but it is certainly worth $29.99 and honestly might even be worth the $49.99 (you can still use the gift card coupon and make it $45.99)
