I picked up the new one(I'm very late at getting it) about a week ago for the PS2.The styles was a nice add to change things up,I'm not so sure if it will last for future games though.Storymode or 24/7 mode is pretty stupid on the choices though,Did TNA have a hand in booking the game?An example is just like,at the start HBK ask if you wanna switch who you are facing,I click no, when I get to RAW again I'm getting called called a coward and apprantly switched matches.I'm not too sure because I haven't really checked, but I think they also removed the crippler crossface from the game with benoit.I heard one of the major excuses for the game lacking compared to 07 was because it took a long time to remove Benoit from the game because he was used a fair amountin the 24/7 storyline and stuff.Overall its not as good as 07 and I'm glad I waited for it to drop down to 20 dollars at a gamestop.My biggest complaint is the loading times,I spend more time loading then playing the matches in 24/7 mode.Also I dislike the fact the It doesn't matter what brand you are on, same storyline just with different people.

Yea the story mode was much better last year (i had it for ps2), and while the loading is quite a bit faster on PS3 its still too slow for a so called next gen game.

Next years one will probably be a lot better....The PS2was still the main development format this year so the 360 and PS3 versions were just slighty improved versions of that, next year it will be a truely next gen game, i hope.

I hate playing wrestling video games. Maybe it's because my hand/eye coordination sucks. I've never been good at them.

There's a lot of flubs and mistakes this year too with the dialogue and storylines. Not as many voice mismatches as 07, but over all much worse. I hate the new controls and I hate the new styles. I was never a fan of them restricted what moves my character can use.

I got a still working copy of the original NES Wrestlemania. 4 moves and cheezy midi theme music. The bouncing power ups are funny.
