    There really is a good, solid wrestling simulation under all the brashness of the WWE. Finally the GameCube gets something to properly rival the "Smackdowns" on the PS2.

    Day of Reckoning's focus upon the dreamers and wannabes that are fighting day in and out at house shows is a creative spin for a wrestling game, one that will appeal to a number of wrestling fans whose ultimate dream is to be on that stage themselves.

    Speaking of control, Yuke's has finely tuned the game's engine in order to create a faster, smoother, and richer gameplay experience... Simply the best WWE title on the Nintendo GameCube to date.

    My one major objection is that when stunned you recover by repeatedly hitting a button as fast as possible, an almost perfect way to cause repetitive motion disorder in gamers.

    a great CAW mode, but the lack of wrestlers (and the lovely lita) leaves a lot 2 be desired.

    If you're a fan of the old N64 wrestling games like No Mercy, you'll love the control system. It works perfectly, and matches are genuinely enjoyable, especially in multiplayer mode. The CAW system is also great, easy to use but allowing for detailed creations. The major drawback is the Story Mode. The storylines are far too linear and often make no sense at all. If you're looking for a multiplayer wrestling game, Day of Reckoning is a good choice. If you're looking for a single player wrestling game, this leaves a lot to be desired.… Expand
