I used to love the old WWF/E smackdown games for the ps one and ps2 so i thought i would love this, sadly i was wrong. For me the controls are too complex with too much to remember, and the tutorial mode at the beggining is awful.
The game itself isnt too hard, and it is much more realistic than the previous games (10 powerbombs in a row, i doubt it) but i dunno, for me it just isnt good enough and could have been a whole lot better. The older games were successful because they were simple yet effective, now they've taken the simplicity away and lost their key features.
There are some really good modes, and you can customise and create just about anything as far as wrestling goes so for WWE fans you will probably love this game, for me though, it has lost a lot of its fun factor.
The graphics are slightly above average but dont expect anything too spectacular.
Conclusion: WWE fans a must have, previous game fans... rent this first then decide for yourself.
