WWE Day of Reckoning

[Colorado Cajun]

this thread is to talk about the new WWE game for the cube. I don't have a PS2 so I can't get SD vs Raw

I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this game and if it's going to be good or not

[spiderman_2k]

IGN gave it 8.3/10

this is from amazon.com of what wrestlers will be in it

In this game, there are a total of 35 normal superstars, and five legends. Copying off of SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain, there are five unlockable legends in the game: Andre The Giant, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and amazingly enough, Bret "The Hitman" Hart. The characters for the main roster are listed below

RAW[b]

The Rock, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Kane, Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Edge, Christian, Val Venis, Lance Storm, Garrison Cade, Matt Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, Trish Stratus, Molly, Victoria, Stacy

[b]SMACKDOWN!
Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, Booker T, RVD, Chavo Guerrero, John Cena, Undertaker, Big Show, Rey Mysterio, Charlie Haas, Hardcore Holly, Rhyno, Doug Basham, Danny Basham, Mark Jindrak

As you may have noticed, there are a few inconsistencies within the roster, like Rhyno on SmackDown! and the current WWE Champion, John Bradshaw Layfield, completely missing. Also, highly requested people like La Résistance and Eugene are not available to play. Also requested, but not implemented, is backstage interaction.

The reason that some wrestlers are not listed like the article says is because WWE provided a roster from back in March when developing the game. That is one reason why Rhyno is on SD!. They have to turn in thier roster early so that the game is on time. Eugene and JBL as a Champ did not happen until this summer.

I have been looking at clips of this game at work the last couple weeks and next to PS2's SmackDown series this game is the best Wrestling game out there.

yeah but no Lita is not going to make for a happy Cajun lol

[Inval1d]

just create her Cajun.


you know they will probably have her move sets. WWE games always have hidden move sets for other wrestlers non wwe or wwe

[Colorado Cajun]

ok I just picked it up this morning so I'll give you all my review once I play it a bit

Ok I've played it and must say it's damn good. The controls and moves are way improved as are the graphics and overall gameplay. The create a wrestler is very complex and has great depth. I even gave my girl pierced nips and a belly ring lol

For those who don't have a PS2 it's a must buy wrestling game

[jbailey84]

how are the intros on the game?

[Colorado Cajun]

not bad at all. They have real music and the people's real entrances, then the clips for the start up screen and intro are pretty damn good

[jbailey84]

sweet. the only intro's i've seen are Kurts, RVD, Cenas, and Takers. just one more question, about the CAW. on the music, does it have any that resembles Stone Cold, Goldberg, & Brock? im gonna wait till i go on leave to TX on the 10th to buy it :D
