This review contains spoilers
Follows in the path set by WM X8 for the gamecube with obvious improvements to graphics, roster, and gameplay
Followed the smackdown story but based on certain events I feel like raw may be the canon story line (John cean in his heel turn does pretty much the sweet chin music?)
When I finished the story line it had a count of show 35 (@ wrestlemainia) so roughly add that plus 10 or so for matches on heat or velocity and then another 5-10 for the house show matches
I would compair this to roughly the first smackdown vs raw game for the ps2 which I think beats out the first day or reckoning. You have the shop zone which really only contains CAW parts and moves plus some more weapons and arenas
You unlock hidden wrestlers throughout the main story but I don't know how I unlocked them or if I got them just by beating the story throughout, I also don't know if I go back and play the smackdown side would I get different characters or the same ones
There's unfortunately not much to do outside of the main story so unless you have a friend or just like the gameplay of it there's not much here after the fact of beating the main story which doesn't have much replayability outside of picking raw or smackdown over the other
I did beat this on the steam deck emulating the gamecube
Solid game but not much to come back to 3 1/2 ***
