Well, here are even more impressions of the game.
Revenge mode:
Probably one of the most questionable things from the game's unveiling until well now. This mode well to put it frank is different. At first, I found it annoying, I mean certain missions just seemed impossible. Then, I thought it was dumb and had no place, but now that I got the hang of most of the controls and what not, it's pretty cool, and offers a nice challenge. The real bonus is completing the stages, and getting bonus levels for exhibition, which I wil touch on in a second.
Anyhow, most of the missions are barebones. Some are as easy as tossing Vince's goons off the platform or knocking them out which means just busting them open. Others are a bit more like beat the clock where you got to keep the goons and wrestler from something for a well. Then, there are the destruction missions where you have to break something down or something similar. The missions are Metal Gear Solid deep, but then again this is a wrestling game. The story is well, weird, but eh.
Now onto the real tricks, after completing all the missions in a Revenge section (Harbour, parking lot, Shopping mall and dock), you unlock exhibition stages that have certain rules based on the environment, but use wrestling rules. I only unlocked 2 of them so far, but that got me a total of 5 areas. Anyhow, some of them have basic rules similar to a Royal Rumble. Basically, you got to beat up your oppenents enough to toss them off platform/level. Others have rules similar to well, I guess the original boiler room brawl, you got to fight and pick up an object. Another has rules similar to ladder match, where there is a belt hanging and you got to use like cables to get it. It's not entirely real, but ti's fun nonetheless and adds a bit more to normal gimmicks matches, and like I said they are fun. It's a pretty sweet addition IMO.
I will talk more about the CAW/CAE later.
Here is a video someone made that is pretty cool
