If the royal rumble actually has more than 4 wrestlers at a time in the ring, I'll be interested. Otherwise, not a chance

I love how they always say they have a ton of match types, it's a little misleading. Like Tag Team match, one type, Ladder match, two types, Tag Team Ladder match, yeah that's not really three types.

Not sure whether to get this, I enjoy them but they all kind of blur into one.

@SomeDeliCook: Yeah sure. Just Bring It had 8 and it's sad that after all these years they've never managed to get back to even that. A Royal Rumble or Survivor Series match with 6 people or teams of 3 is nonsense.

One of the major reasons I am buying this game is because of Brock Lesnar, Batista etc. and the fact that it looks like it plays better than previous ones. They got booed because they had a shitty match, they danced around each other and both of them had already declared that they were leaving. The fans didn't care. Everything before that, with Brock tearing shit up with Heymans assistance is what you really should remember.

@emergency: The fans didn't care because the wrestlers didn't care. Goldberg didn't like the way WWE was treating his character and Lesnar was fed up of the constant travel involved so both men decided not to renew their contracts.

That's cool and I can totally understand that. But it's really unprofessional to put on a match like the one they did, regardless of reasons for leaving they were still getting paid to perform.

I just miss the way Heyman would spit out the words "BROCKKKKKK LESNAR!"

The improved animation/controls were sorely needed - SORELY - and much appreciated. Thanks for rebuilding this thing from scratch THQ. Hopefully, it's closer to All Stars now in terms of fun? I'm crossing my fingers.

Also, glad to see dudes like Batista, Lesnar, the Rock and Macho Man Randy Savage in there ;) That's a little touch, but it's pretty awesome all the same.

From the Real World to WWE superstar. Wow. Pretty cool when you think about it.

Also, these dudes really must suck at football if they couldn't make it with the physique. Sheesh.. give me some of Randy Ortons athleticism!

That's the beauty of trailers. They never give you any real sense of how the game actually plays. From everything I've seen, it looks like the previous games.

Looked same old, same old, and then randomly Big Van Vader is randomly chokeslamming John Morrison randomly. Random. Plus, Brodus Clay is for some reason in this thing so making a King Kong Bundy CAW should be easy enough.

Well that is why you read instead. I am hearing good things. But Jeff is right to have given the previous games shit. I have not forgotten how awesome WWF No Mercy was. Let's hope they bring that kind of excitement to this game.

Yes, if only WWE wanted an awesome fighting game and not just a WWE sim. They might have tried to find a different developer already.

BEST LINEUP IN A WWE GAME EVER! Thats why! lol

this one actually looks great. 2009 was garbage, and 2010 was the first wrestling game i didnt buy since SDvs Raw #1. it seems like they are FINALLY going back to the ideals that made No Mercy the greatest wrestling game ever. I hope it is, because im probably gonna buy this one.

Several things. The same camera angles as on T.V. is a bad idea for a video game. This isn't the first game to allow you to make your own arena's although I think it was still WWF when they did that so they might have cheated that one a bit. It only looks slightly better than the previous WWE games. Finally; I'm kind of ashamed to be interested in this game since I haven't played a proper wrestling game since Smackdown 2, but I am.
