An okay game with some minor problems

The game itself is easy, the loading time is quick and it has some classical wrestlers. With the Create a Wrestler Feature, you can make anything you desire, from a maid to a mistress. The one downside of it, is the quality, the matches are fun, the women are available in all types of matches unlike the later games. I got this game in 2005, it was fun, while I played in TLC matches and Steel Cage and even Hell in a Cell. The game was really fun to me. I made 31 female wrestlers and 1 male wrestler, I even found a code to use female caws in Hardcore and Backstage, while in the later games those types of matches are getting worse, in 2007 for example, the raw sewage truck is a part of the Parkinglot Brawl, in this game it is rather fun. The game has some of the moves that are not seen in other games. So in summary, this game may be old but it is fun, it isnt up to quality standards of the later games, but it gives me a chance to make characters that I couldnt do in other games. Create a Wrestler is rather quick in this game, you dont bother making the eyes and such for your fighter, you have normal sized body unlike the balloon size female caws of the later games. I liked it but it isnt for everyone.
Fun game

I bought this game and really loved playing it,it has a pretty good create a charecter,nice animation and graphics,and alot of pretty real looking wrestlers,my 4 year old daughter picked up on this game very fast,and with a multi tap and some friends it is alot of fun.The only thing I didnt like about it is the online mode,everyone uses turbo controllers and you cant do any moves to them.Otherwise,a decent game.
Boo, this game stinks along with Here Comes The Pain, 2006, & 2007!

If anybody considers this game good, then somthings up with that head of you people, there ain't nothing great about games like this. The earlier 4 WWE games are classics & frankly the best of them all. Heres why this game right here stinks for.
The season mode of course is like a 10-12 year storyline style that has terrible cutscenes along with the entire thing. It also doesn't have 4 player season in it.
While matches like Elimination Chamber are fun to go with, the matches like I Quit, Lumberjack, Casket, etc aren't no longer presented in WWE games.
Gameplay is awful, you can't reverse, can't grapple, & can't strike your foe when he touches you first.
The starting minigames like test of strength, chop battle from turnbuckle is so corny & stupid, you can't even get the job done right when the meter fails you. Thats I had it turned off in the first place.
Your opponents keep taunting you after you're beating down so much & runs in, out of the damn ring so much as if he's trying to avoid you or such which I found to be really dull.
Create a championship here is pointless, only playable for ppv mode & can't defend title after you beaten your opponent & if you want to defend the belt, you can't. The title belt will go back on your opponents waist, now ain't that stupid.
Create a superstar in create mode is real awful & man do I mean awful looking. No matter who you create & try to make them different from another, you can't. No matter who you try to create a person white, black, hispanic, asian, or whatever race color, they'll all look exactly the same. If you try to create them tiny, giant, length, wide, skinny, fat, macho, or whatever, they'll all look exactly the same. If you try to make their faces cute, ugly, happy, sad, mad, angry, frustrated, ticked, surprised, or so, they'll look exactly the same. If you try to add facial hair, give them masks, thier teeth whole or toothless(think Benoit), give them hair or bald, add freckles, scars, or etc, they'll still all look exactly the same. No matter what your superstar will come out as & you create another one that has different stuff but one thing will never change, their faces. The creations are horrible in this upset installment with no leads to it what so ever.
The roster of WWE wrestling stars are only about 35 people. Past WWE games had over 60. Also some are outdated as well.
Movesets in create a moveset are full of bs, you don't get to change much movesets as you use to because a lot of it has been decreased thanks to THQ who destroys'em.
Think about this now before you take a first step at this game that has been messed by THQ themselves before you get ripped off like I did but luckly for me, I kept my receipt to get my money back from Toys "R" Us & ditch this terrible excuse of a game to where it belongs. Remeber this topic I posted so think now before you even touch this cursed game by cursed THQ, you've been warned my friend.
P.S. Best WWE games would be the earlier 4 which is Smackdown, Know Your Role, Just Bring It, & Shut Your Mouth. The other 4 HCTP, this one here, 2006, & 2007 are all lacklust creations from THQ, therefore you're definately warned.
P.S. THQ should retire while they still have a chance before all the other future WWE games get a lot worse or otherwise we're gonna have to deal with the disease that THQ is plaguing right now. Only we the people can put a stop to THQ's demise.
Pretty Fun Game

I enjoyed playing the game for about the first month, but when I try to load certain wrestlers or events the games freezes. That stinks!!!

Srcew what this guy below me says, this game is a total suck up. Models are stupid, only like 25 guys in this game, gameplay is lousy, season mode is f***ed up, creating a title & ppv is a crappy letdown, & mainly everything!
You want good WWE games: Here Comes The Pain, Shut Your Mouth, Just Bring It, & Smackdown vs Raw 2006 will always top this game 1,000,000 times! Also wait for Smackdown vs Raw 2007, a must play!
