I haven't' played a smack down game since here comes the pain. While this is definitely an improvement, it is a far cry from what wrestling really is. Making the actual gameplay into a 3d fighter was good, but too bad it is too loopsided for some characters/styles like brawler and powerhouse.
What they need to do is actually make a good single player mode since wrestling , now is all about the storyline and when you play the game, you are part of the company. Behind the stage things like how much the company likes you and political games you gotta play should be in the game. It's not all just popularity and how much you train. Because in real life, it's all about how much Vince machman likes you and how much the other wrestlers like you. they should even have a mini game of how to cut a promo.
But no, it's all not there because this series is put out every year with a new gimmick and marginal improvements. I'm glad i rented this, definiately not a buy. But it does pass as a game.
Still things like downloading new charatcers should be in now so that the roster is never out of date. Sure charge money for it, its inevitable, but to have that option would actually make the game's life longer.
