Well, the jury is in and while it says that Day of Reckoning is the best wrestling game on the Gamecube, thats not really saying much.

What pisses me off is that the review says that they quickened the pace from the No Mercy-like pace that they had before... WHY??? WHY IS IT THAT DEVELOPERS HAVE TO QUICKEN THE PACE OF WRESTLING GAMES WHEN
EVERYONE SAYS HOW MUCH THEY PREFERRED THE SLOWER SIMULATION PACE OF NO MERCY????
Not only that, but they constantly speed the game up just before it goes gold. I'm not sure what retarded spider monkeys these developers have in their focus groups, but they need to get some actual wrestling-game fans in there.
Now I may be overreacting prematurely (obviously) considering I've never played the game, but it just sounds like the same old crap that yukes has always put out: Great CAW with a good grappling system sped up so much that the game becomes a button mashing piece of ****.
Lets hope my buddies over at PWX can finally get it right, because I miss good wrestling games.
