Advantages: more wrestlers, more match types, good multiplayer games

Disadvantages: wrestlers still not life like, slow loading at times

i bought this game on the strength of the original and was pleased to see that it had lost none of the fun the original had.

the sequel packs more wrestlers, many more matches including hell in a cell, tlc, royal rumble and more. the wrestlers that can be created by the player are more varied and much more sophisticated.

the main drawback of the first game: the lack of likeness to the real wrestlers have been much improved but there is stiil room for improvement. the gameplay has improved and with the controls the same as the original they are easy to pick up. each wrestler also has a greater variety of moves.

the hardcore matches are great as the wrestlers can explore behind the scenes and fight with bone-crunching weapons. the scenes are well designed with good graphics.

a drawback of this game is that at times it can be slow to load especially in a royal rumble when play stops to load a new wrestler.

despite this the new features have improved an already good game and reinforced its reputation as the best wrestling game. the multiplayer mode is improved by the additional match types.
