    I love this game. I think one of the main flaws is how easy it is to reverse grapples. if the opponent puts your characters arm behind their back all you have to do is keep tapping r. 9/10 times you will reverse their graplle. and 1/10 times they will do a strike attack. The rosters are soo small and need to include all superstars that are in the wwe. NO LASHLEY OR TATANKA =(

    This is the best wrestling game since No Mercy for Nintendo 64! I think that verbalazation in the story mode could be better and I was expecting a little out of the gameplay. But overall it's a great game. Highly recommended!!!!

    Again THQ delivers another great wrestling game for PSP. But I do have some complaints. First the time it takes to load each scene takes a long time and can make a player to get bored early with this game. And even though they have completed such a realistic wrestling game with many features , it still needs some work on its collision engine, so that no arms do not run through other bodies, and falling through other objects like ring ropes and etc.. Other then this this games is very good and I rate it an 8.… Expand

    Hands down this is the best game out for PsP right now. Yes there are some horrid load times, but if you bought a PsP you were aware of this issue to begin with. The story mode is great, way better than anything I expected. And all the options and depth are here. But the reason this game stands above all else is the fluidity of the movments. Its not just a button masher like earlier incarnations. Anyone who loves wrestling MUST pick up a copy.… Expand

    If you love long load times, you'll love this one! It brings back memories of Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex on the PS2 -- you can measure the load times in minutes.

    Other than slower than normal loading times,this game is perfect!

    Pretty good... first game I got on my PSP. It rocked, story mode could be a lil longer and I do admit, the load-times were awful. But it was still the best game ive played for psp.

    Xavier R rated this a ten because he saw it online. He obviously has not played the game. Although somehow addictive the game will destroy any schedule you had with 20mins to have a 5 min match due to loading times to move to any new screen. Huge parts of the PS2 version were removed to make room for a bad card game and further Eugine-bashing games that are not fun. At all. Period. I bought it and now don't play on it at all. Didnt buy the 2007 version because this one was so bad.… Expand

    What impresses me most, though, is that other than the load times, all of the same goodies from the console version were ported to the PSP with few technical sacrifices (the loss of a second analog stick and two shoulder buttons didn't hurt the gameplay one bit).

    The gameplay holds up tremendously well on the PSP platform, as does the presentation. But the lack of compelling, differing content makes it a tough sell to those who previously invested $50 in this year's game.

    This is a cracking port of a cracking game with very few compromises. Find three mates to play against and it's better still. [PSW]
