One of the best wrestling game control layouts of all time. Incredibly accessible and fun to play. The roster, representing the peak of the real world WWF/WCW/ECW merger, allowed for a lot of great match-ups. Looked very good for its time, and for me it was the first opportunity I got to try out Ladder Match or Hell in a Cell modes.
But the big shadow hanging over this is simply the lack of any meaningful single player content. Like a modern day Mario Sports title, there's nothing for you to do: No career mode, no unique single player objectives. My sense of childhood imagination and wonder in 2002 didn't mind it, I just played Exhibition mode and made up my own storylines. But today, yeah, it sucks.
