![]() Finally, a wrestling game where we can play on the same side, or at least "pretend" to play on the same side, a mode of play called "Santulli Mode" around my house. I can pick my favorite wrestler, Randy Savage, and know that when my opponent is weak and lying in the center of the ring, I can do a flying elbow drop. A move that NO other player can execute. I also know not to turn my back to Ted DiBiase or Crush, who, just like "real life", perform their best stuff when you're facing away from them! And I don't have to pin my opponent if I'd rather inflict more punishment instead. I can set the options to BRAWL mode and just play until someone can't get up any more.
Lastly, the speed has been greatly improved. Some problems with the original caused the action to come to a grinding halt at times, and weird stuff like not being able to do any moves while on the side of the ring (while outside) have all been corrected. I just can't say enough about this game. If LJN is still listening to me, I'd like to say "Way to go". I'd also like to say "How about an instant replay mode? Perhaps some pre-game hoopla? I wouldn't mind some small speech insertions, like Randy Savage's 'ooh yeaaaaaaah', either, you know? Oh, and how about some managers outside the ring?" Just keeping you guys on your toes. Great game! |
