Opinions on the Game

[-EJ-]

I had a few concersna bout the game, and some things were really awesome.

Good:

They finally added the announcer, which adds a lot of coolness to the game.

You can now play as a lot of the mid-card guys which can be fun.

Fatal 4-Way Last Man Standing!

CaW has much more cool stuff.

Stamina system keeps you on your toes.

Hulk Hogan as a legend, and Stone Cold.

New "in the ropes face down" position

You can see the announcers now.

Smarter refferee.

Cooler story mode.

Graphics

Motioned captured movements

Bad (and maybe you can share your thoughts on these):

Limited corner moves.

You can't beat the announcers.

Referee won't beat you up.

The 619 and the Clothesline from Hell you have to do manually. Why can't it just be a freakin' grab like 21?

No alternate attires (perhaps someone can explain that).

No backstage fights.

No in-the-crowd fights.

Same weapons as last year.

All in all I think the game is good; they've managed to combine the showboatin' of 21 with the wrestling of the original DoR. But I still know they can do more, because Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain had you riding around backstage on a motorcylce chokeslamming people, and that was years ago lol.

I figured you might wanna share some of you general opinions on the game.

Oh, and what do you think of the A.I.?

Alright. Peace

Good point!!

I don't really have anything to add...

[Legendeath]

i didn't like the AI it was soo uneven in certain matches(like royal rumble) and in story mode.also i would like it if they let u choose ur character after u die like the smackdown series (to be honest i would have liked it if they kept everything LIKE NO METAL SKIN!!! and added more stuff and put in 2 dics like 1 for story mode and caws and 1 for exibition matches and the options and creap

plain and simple the game sucks

[Legend Killer]

plain and simple the game sucks

Then why are you in this section of the forum? The game doesn't suck, the Gamecube disc size sucks.

I already ranted about the bad parts of the game in another thread, so I'll just copy and paste everything to here.

I know there's probably so many threads like this, but I'm bored.

Day of Reckoning 2 is a good game, but there's still so much they could've fixed and added.

Fix:

-Hell in a Cell Matches - They should've made it alot like the Smackdown games. Where there isn't alot of room between the cell and ring, and you can do environmental moves to the guy(hitting him up against the cell, rubbing his face on the cell, etc...). Also, they should've made a door instead of breaking the guy through the wall, that's so unrealistic.

-Environmental Moves - Like the Smackdown games, you should've been able to give guys moves on the barricade, ring post, and steel steps(btw, where the hell are the steel steps in this game?). Also, you should be able to give guys moves onto the table without you being on it(you can for a few moves like the Angleslam and some belly to belly suplexes, but it's so hard to do it).

-Story Mode - The story mode sucks on here. Sure, you have about 3 decisions throughout the year, but I want a helluva lot more than that. The actual story was bullshit. The title missing? What the hell? Why couldn't they just have your guy go up through the ranks like DOR1? The game didn't have to "continue" from the last one, THQ didn't do that when they made their Smackdown games, so THQ doesn't have to do that with their DOR games either. Oh and the story should've gone on forever too, not just this one year story and then credits, I wanna play forever. And you should've been able to choose which show to be on, and what superstar(including the ones already in the game, not just CAWs). The story mode overall just pissed me off, it could've been so much better.

-Attributes - Alot of the superstars' attributes in this game are way off. Here's what I think they should've been:

Triple H - 94

Kurt Angle - 93

Undertaker - 91

Shawn Michaels - 90

Batista - 88

John Cena - 88

Randy Orton - 87

Chris Benoit - 86

Eddie Guerrero - 86

John Bradshaw Layfield - 85

Chris Jericho - 85

Kane - 84

Big Show - 84

Edge - 84

Booker T - 83

Shelton Benjamin - 83

Rob Van Dam - 83

Rey Mysterio - 82

Christian - 82

Ric Flair - 81

Muhammed Hassan - 79

Carlito - 79

Orlando Jordan - 77

Chris Masters - 76

Paul London - 75

Chavo Guerrero - 75

Heidenreich - 74

Snitsky - 73

Eugene - 73

William Regal - 73

Tajiri - 73

Rene Dupree - 72

Kenzo Suzuki - 71

The Hurricane - 70

Trish Stratus - 60

Christy Hemme - 57

Torrie Wilson - 52

Stacy Keibler - 51

Add:

-More Match Types - I would've loved to see like an elimination tag or any other kind of elimination match. Even the Elimination Chamber. Now I know you're thinking "They can't fit that kind of match into a small gamecube disc", but I think they can find a way. Maybe have only four guys in the ring at most at a time, like the royal rumble, and as soon as one's eliminated, the next comes out in the given time. I know that won't be as fun, because you couldn't have all six guys to duke it out at once, but it'd still be alot of fun.

-Create a PPV Mode - Two big things they should've got rid of in this game were Tutorial and Shopzone. Both of these things are totally useless, and the extra data could've been used for something alot better. Like Create a PPV. I know it sounds pretty basic, but if you could create a PPV, use all the titles, make your own highlight videos before your chosen matches, and then add fireworks before the show and all that other stuff, it would've added hours upon hours of fun gameplay to the game.

[xdivisionchampsamoajoa]

they could of put like a create a team mode on it

create a title mode

better entrances

the inferno match would be good

ecw story mode

wcw story mode

heat and velosity story mode

the chamber

more choice in story mode

a gm mode

more legends

more title defences

they need DX

buried alive maches

the masked version of kane

they need all that and more

piece

[andreraven]

in my opinion DoR2 Is not complete, it laks of a lot of stuff like:

- edite wrestleres clothing (important)

-create a PPV

-Defending titles

-more maches: burried alive, elimination chamber, etc

- A masked version of Kane (kane rulez!) LOL

-and I guess an independent story line for each wrestler and be able to use all ready made wrestlers on storry mode
