That Royal Rumble video cracked me up. "Hawk is legitimately one of the toughest...*Hawk eliminated* It's all over for Hawk!" "How tough is Superfly? My goodness...*Snuka eliminated" And Jimmy Snuka's out of the match!" "They pushed him out! They got him out! ...... He's still in this thing." Nice to know the staple of THQ wrestling games has returned: commentary glitches! If that's the case then Vince was constantly glitching as a commentator in the 90's. "1-2-HE GOT HIM ITS OVER...no" More like "ONE, TWO, THREE! WE HAVE A NEW WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION CHAM... oh, he kicked out."

Finally, a decent looking Rumble match.

Finally got my Xbox back. First thing I did was download the demo and try it. And once again like back in Acclaim days I'm disappointed. To me the controls are just annoying and no fun in the least. It feels like I'm playing Dragon's Lair. Which was great back in the day but not for a wrestling game in 2009. I guess I can only hope for a sequel with decent controls. I'll probably still buy this when it's down to 30€ or less, though.

I love how no one is mentioning that you can't do any grapple moves in the Rumble match. So lame.
I was really hyped on this game just a few days ago, but I have soured on it big time over the last few days. All the gimmick matches have so many restrictions that they're useless. The RRR mode is shallow and can be beat in a few hours. The lack of finishers is horrible. I don't know if I want to drop the $60 anymore. Doesn't seem worth it

I was thinking of getting this, but after closer inspection i'll Get Resi 5 instead.
I can't wait till THQ loses the license.

I was reading at GR that alot of the grapples just initiate a simple "push" rather than the move. Watching the video, I did see some basic grapples like an arm wrench, but no strong grapples, and I noticed alot of the pushing.
Maybe it's not as bad as others are making it out to be...?
I dunno, I think I'm going to wait on reviews before purchasing.

There has to be strong grapples.
I believe I saw an electric chair drop by Bulldog at some point.

From the demo, I remember strong grapples as either a double or triple button press to activate.

Here is Taker's... You know what I just realized? Where the hell are his tattoos?! THQ's laziness strikes again! That's truly amazing. They can subtract tattoos but not add a coat....the logic astounds. I can't believe how excited and furious this game has alternatively made me. Game is announced....yay. Lots of my favorites left off the roster...boo. CAL apparently lets you make perfect Goldust, Razor, Vader and more.....yay. Oh but you can't give any of them proper finishers....boo. Unfortunately I'm still buying it just because I like so many guys on the roster, I won't have to depend on CAW as much as usual. I still wish there were more moves. I can't believe you would cry and moan over every single aspect of the entire game for 30 snorking pages in the last thread, have the brass bollocks to call those of us who were really looking forward to it "sheep" and then turn around and go "I'm still buying it though"! You are a proper nugget mate.

I doubt they have matches where 6 fighters are on the screen at once. I doubt they have big ring entrances. Not to mention the import from Smackdown vs. Raw puts the game at over 100 wrestlers. So stop whining.

I'll be going on a gaming spree today. I'll be buying this game, along with MadWorld (Both New), and any other game I can find in the Pre-owned section.

Why oh why is it so damn hart to irish whip / back grapple / run
Even looking over the tutorial text it seems difficult to pull off!
Going through the relive currently, Shawn Michaels is kicking my ass against Austin.

I personally don't like it when I'm about to spend $60 damn dollars (in the middle of a recession) on a game that's being half-assed compared to another game, which is looking good so far (and I can't stand MMA) I don't consider that whining.

He just told you that there'd be many more wrestlers once you import the SD vs Raw 2009 roster. And don't forget that they don't need to differentiate the characters in the UFC game as much as they do in WWE. UFC doesn't have that many characters, so I doubt they'd go all out and give everyone a finisher. They'll probably have a limited selection of moves they can do. And he made a good point about it only being one on one in UFC. I'm sure it takes a big chunk of the games data to put matches like Royal Rumble and Fatal Four Ways in the game.
