Great game, but needs some fine tuning.

Graphics 7/10
Player models look fantastic. Fans look cut and pasted on. Also, characters start to move all glitchy when attempting moves at times.
Gameplay 4/10
I know when people see 4, they think bad. Not so much in this case. The game is fun, but there is a huge frustration factor. Especially when you beat an opponent down for 10 minutes straight and have them in the red; yet they keep finding away to get back up in two seconds flat. Then they pull off a reverse and than proceed to knock you down with a sissy grapple move, in which case it takes you close to 20 seconds to a minute to recover from; while pressing a random repeatly to get up. That's a great way to develope carpal tunnel syndrome. The creat-a-belt was an awesome idea. Too bad online play is lags too much, otherwise I could have could have boosted this score significantly. Difficulty needs to be tweaked, because everything favors the computer. With a maxed out character, it takes me about 3 times the moves that it takes a computer opponent to deal out the same damage. They are also next impossible to grapple with on anything harder than Easy. I didn't notice a real change in stamina with increases in levels.
Sound 7/10
All around good job. I felt like I was in an arena. Need to expand the commentary though.
Value 8/10
If they fix online play, this could easily be a 10. There are so many match types, that there is always something to do in this game. It does have a great replay value aside from the unexcusable.
Tilt 6/10
I'm not a big WWE fan, but the games are usually pretty fun. This game is extrememly fun, but they need to improve online multiplayer. Making a deeper general manager mode would have helped as well. Also some realistic physics. No way does Triple H get his butt whooped by the Women's Champ. That's in a computer simulation. The character ratings don't mean anything, and they should. It needs a lot of work, but it's still a fun game.
