Summary: One of the best games out for PSP
Reviewed by zero
89
Whether or not you like wrestling games is irrelevent. This is one of the best games for PSP because it is in its entierty. It has everything that the PS2 version has minus two shoulder buttons and an analog stick. The only problem that arises from this is the lack of a button to change focus, because the PS2 version only uses one analog stick itself.

Gameplay
The gameplay is great, if you are a wrestling fan you'll note that it is the best wrestling game since No Mercy for 64. I keep hearing this but it is true, I loved No Mercy, and I don't think I liked a wrestling game this much since No Mercy. Every once in a while the game slows down, but with all the stuff its trying to do at once, you can hardly blame it.

Graphics
Although the PS2 version has more polygons, not much is sacrificed unless you pay real close attention. The introductions are in their entierty and the character models are accurate.

Sound
It's bad enough that John Cena is WWE Champion, that we can change, however, we are forced to listen to this guy's 'music' in the menus. This drags the score down considerably as the theme music and voice overs aren't really that bad.

Loadtimes
This too brings down the score. Like any other sports simulation, this game takes a while to load up all the things that it requires to go on. Titantron, the ring, the superstars, the audience, and it does it in a bearable time frame.

Overall
If you turn off the entrances and the menu music, this game loads bearably, sounds good, and looks polished for a portable wrestling game. If you need a new game for PSP that will keep you occupied, this is it.
