What do these ratings mean?

This is by far the best wrestling to date. The wrestlers are realistic looking and I like the new momentum meter. The create a wrestler is good, with it being easy and rather quick to create your own person. The create an entrance is the best part of the creation process. The story mode is solid. Now that your guy has voice over it is much better and makes the story flow easier. It would be nicer if they would make it longer so that the game isn't beaten so quickly. Maybe have all the PPV for each brand throughout story mode. The GM mode is alright, but could use a lot of improving.
There are a few things that aren't the best. The worst thing about the game is the new Buried Alive match. I don't know, it could be me, but this type of match is extremely difficult. Playing as my created guy and with him being 99 overall, I was not able to win the match versus Taker. After 80 min. he was able to win. The problem with this is you have to win this match if you want to buy a lot of the stuff to customize your locker room. Def. needs to be changed/improved if you ask me. The only other thing that I have a problem with is the GM mode. The concecpt behind it is good, but it can become boring unless you play some of the matches you make. Maybe next year it could be made more interesting. Overall, a very good game that is worth it's money.

    Greg, I too have enjoyed the game and have almost completed all of the little add-ons that make it interesting. The only snag that I have encountered is trying to win the bar brawl trophy. I have always enjoyed using my own created wrestlers, but after several trips through the season modes, I have yet to find the right match. Do you have any tips on how to obtain this trophy. Thanks for you time, nice review. Lonedawg
