Brief Final Thoughts

I forgot how stacked the roster was back in 2003, It was actually a struggle choosing my superstar for career mode but in the end I went for the Olympic gold medallist Kurt Angle. Career mode was a blast, offering many different scenarios and cutscenes keeping things fresh, the overhaul to the gameplay made wrestling multiple matches enjoyable, with a easy to understand grappling system and a new body damage display that was way overdue.
