This game lacks a lot of polish. It has some good additions, but it also takes steps backwards.

I am a fan of this series so I always play these games, but this time I was disappointed by the little attention to detail. For example, one thing I enjoyed about the other games in the series was the ability to make created wrestlers look authentic. Because of the very limited choice of skin tones, the CAW all look pale. Another concern of mine is that custom music cannot be used in the storyline creator, which makes it less fun to use CAWs as a part of the story.

Universe Mode is a good idea, but I think it needs A LOT of work. There are too many restrictions concerning title matches and the rivalries are almost non-existent. In order for Universe Mode to be great, I think they should have a rivalry between shows and a match rating system that rewards the player for good entertaining matches like in the GM Mode of the past games.

Some good features in the game are the graphics that show muscles flexing and the improved physics. The online Community Creations has also been greatly improved.

I would prefer if THQ would focus more on SvR and less on the Legends franchise.
