Yes maybe some of the side quests were a bit tedious but honestly the lore building within them made up for it for me personally. Ben Starr as Clive is one of the best voice acted performances I have heard and had a great supporting cast, I just wish Jill had more development. The boss fights were also some of the best I have ever played, the Titan fight blew me away. Overall, very enioyable experience.

I appreciate this game teaching ten year old me about the Attitude Era

How come this is still the best that weapon physics have been in a wrestling game?

One of the hardest openings in gaming history

One of my core memories in gaming comes from this game when playing Universe Mode at my couins where as a CAW of myself I beat my cousins CAW and (I think?) Justin Gabriel in a triple threat to win the United States title. He challenged me to an I Quit match for the title straight after which I arrogantly accepted and I lost in a five star classic, him and my other cousin celebrated like he had just won the main event of WM while I stormed off downstairs. Ended up with a shorter reign then when Cena took the WWE title from Mysterio smh.
