I played the demo again last night to get ready for today, and I'm really amazed at how much time they seemingly put into Andre The Giant. The character labors into the ring exactly the same as Andre did, facial expressions are spot-on and he plays as big as he looks.

Here's a match between Legends and imported wrestlers from SvR:

Still, they took out one of the best features THQ had for Andre, and that was that almost no one could body slam or perform regular moves on him. That was something brought since the Virtual Pro-wrestling 2 days.

By the way, I think WWEShopzone has the best deal for the game right now. You can get the game and the Legends DVD for $65.95 with free shipping or get the game and the strategy guide for $62.99 and free shipping. To get the shipping, you use the code FREEME.

Isn't there some sort of deal at TRU?
EDIT:
Wow, IGN was not kind - 6.5 for both the 360 and PS3.

It's fun fun fun. I like it better than smackdown, it's veryarcadey, but arcadey done right. Not smackdowns halfassedtravesty.
Loading sucks as usual. PS3 looks a bit worse than 360 to me.
And before anyone else complains. Why are the fans wearing bret hart shirts during wrestlemania 2
Alot of the impessive stuff, like not being able to pick up Andre only happens in the relive matches. Still awesome though, just wish there were more, unless they are unlockable?

I think I like the graphics in 1991 Wrestlefest better than this. They just seem to be going backwards with the visual design of these games IMO.

Love this so far. The controls are a bit wonky, but you get used to them. The addition of the SvR roster is awesome, I can't believe people aren't making a bigger deal that they essentially doubled the roster and let you create all kinds of crazy matches.
The only thing I've seen that stinks so far is the really small amount of 'relive' options. Are there only 6 or 7 or am I missing something?

25 minutes until I leave work and go straight to Best Buy to get this.
If they don't have it out, I'm going to choke slam someone!

Just ordered it from the WWE Shopzone website w/strategy guide for $62.99. Worth the wait to save $15 or so.

Oh god, the PS3 version has this horrible flshing effect everytime someone is punched or something. It's awful in royal rubmle/battle royal because it pixelates the screen badly. You get dozens of quarter second pixellation that looks like someone took a 320x240 pic and blew it up to full screen.

I don't really like how simplistic and limited gameplay is, but the achievement points are cake. I played for about an hour and got 450/1000. Nostalgia factor is good, but the game is just too basic and too few moves for me.

Online play sucks. It takes like 1/4 second for input to register, so kicking out of pins by holding buttons is impossible as is reversing. So it turns into a who can strike the other guy first match

I'm having fun with the game but it is in serious need of a patch.

Sigh. I was on the fence and finally talked myself into it. After I order from Amazon all these bad reviews pop up. Sigh.

I played through one of the Legend mode things last night and really didn't have too much fun. Looking forward to doing the Relive and associated gameplay types. Those look to be quite entertaining as I love the memory lane setup before the matches. 
Achievements are kind of ridiculously easy, and they just seem really oddly balanced.
