again? The best wrestling game in the world is back with a whole new season of mayhem for you to battle through. The lowdown:Truth be told this isn't markedly different from the first Day of Reckoning, but it's still an improvement nonetheless, with better graphics, better animation and more intelligent opponents. The roster has widened slightly with new faces like Eugene and Paul London appearing alongside unlockable classics, including Hulk Hogan and The Rock. The most notable new features are a paper, rock, scissors style submission system, and the new stamina bar, both of which add an extra layer of strategy to the carnage. Most exciting moment: Using the new submission system to bring a whole new world of pain to your opponents. Since you ask:All the GameCube and PS2 WWE games, and Konami's Rumble Roses, are by a Japanese developer called Yuke who specialises almost solely in wrestling games. The bottom line: Not much has changed: this is still the best wrestling game around. Harrison Dent

Advantages: A very good basis for a hand-held wrestling game. Disadvantages: Long loading times.
Wrestling games have always been popular on games consoles due to their replayability and multiplayer support. So in making the jump to hand-held, THQ have attempted to include most of what have made these games so successful.
In the main, this has been successful. The graphics are excellent by PSP standards and the games physics are not as sketchy as previous hand-held wrestlers on the GBA for example. The game itself is literally as good as the ... ...In making the game portable, loading times have been lengthened to an annoyingly long time. The player must wait for ages before any dialogue, entrance or match.
In addition, there is no in-game commentry on the PSP version. Although this is easily overlooked, it is true to say that the music its replaced with can get irritating over time. However this in no way kills the game.
All in all, the game is definitely worth having - even if you already ...
