So, I went back and played my old Gamecube, and played Day of Reckoning 2 (Pretty old game..... 2006?), and well..... it's abit better then I remember it.
Sure, the storyline in Career Mode isn't "the best", but normal Exibition matches are pretty fun. Sure, it doesn't have as many match style's as Smackdown vs RAW, but hell, a Fatal Fourway Last Man Standing Match somewhat makes up for it. Also, TLC Matches actually REQUIRE to climb the ladder and grab the belt.
Roster has about 43 Superstars including guys like Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Christian, Eddie Guerrero, Heidenreich, Kenzo Suzuki, Muhammad Hassan, Rene Dupree, RVD, Tajiri, Hurricane, and more. Create a Superstar mode is..... lacking. No matter how hard I try, I can never make a GOOD Forceful Joe. But, the move selection is pretty decent, including Momentum Shifts (When you've been beaten down alot, and your marker is Blue, press A + B to use a Momemtum Shift to switch your momentum with your opponents, they become temporarily weaker, you become stronger, etc), And dare I say it, more then 2 Specials. Entrance Making becomes alittle more.... detailed.
Anyway, the KEY thing I like about this game is you can interupt grapples and specials. Someone's using a special or grapple, but before they nail it, you can hit them to interupt them. Makes matches alittle more Chaotic, if not longer (4 Man Steel Cage Match is like Hell). Also, moves hurt standing superstars (Suplex someone, you hit someone as your going down, they fall down too).
And there aren't any voice acting in this, besides Call Names and such, Story Mode is played through with Text you must read and such. Brief overview of the Story that you can ONLY play with your CAW......
Your a former member of Evolution/Ministry (Day of Reckoning 1) that's risen through the ranks of RAW to a title shot. You have numerous other superstars respecting you, and a girlfriend (Stacy Kiebler). But when your Title Shot comes up, the World Championship goes missing, and the blame falls on you. Everyone blames you, and your framed, and you lose your girlfriend and fired from RAW. You go to Smackdown where you rise through the ranks, but still go to RAW to clear your name, and win Stacy back.
Yeah.... not that great of a storyline. Anyone else play this game for the Gamecube? I know most of you Wii owners could easily buy it for $5 now'adays. But I'd rent it......
Anyone?
