    This game came short of every expectation I had. There were huge flaws in the game. these include:missing theme music, small roster list and adventure mode. With the lack of these you would think that the game would make up for it in the C.A.W. mode but that is the biggest disapointment of them all. With very few costume, facial, logo and hair selection it leaves you with a bunch of This game came short of every expectation I had. There were huge flaws in the game. these include:missing theme music, small roster list and adventure mode. With the lack of these you would think that the game would make up for it in the C.A.W. mode but that is the biggest disapointment of them all. With very few costume, facial, logo and hair selection it leaves you with a bunch of clones. for the very few positives of this game is its graphics, somewhat updated roster and its match modes, which still don't compare to smackdown. on a final word this game isn't even a match for its n64 counter parts like no mercy and wrestlemania 2000(probably the best wrestling games ever). Unfortunetly this game defy's the laws of physics by actually managing to suck and blow at the same time.… Expand

    Ratings have cooled and Stone Cold had some run-ins with John Law. This is irrelevant, as wrestling games always sell. [Feb 2003, p.96]

    As good of a wrestling games as I have seen for any next generation console. In fact it is quite a bit better than most. However if Yuke's would implement their older grappling system, this game would have been unstoppable.

    Almost a wrestling fan's dream come true. But there's one thing that's keeping it from achieving greatness: the incredibly dull Create-A-Superstar mode. [August 2002, p.137]
