So who is chomping at the bit to get their hands on the new LOW game? I see a lot of videos have surfaced on Youtube of people who got the game early. Looks like reviews are okay but not fantastic. Biggest issue seems to be controls too simplified.

Gotta love the roster of stars though and anyone missed has all the parts in the CAW feature.

I'll be getting it but after I can find a place online that isn't selling it for $70. Way too much when top games are selling for $60 or less.

I played the demo and it's pretty weak in the game play aspect. The controls are nothing like Raw vs Smackdown

Until a wrestling game comes along that allows me to play a continuous 4-player repeat 40-man Battle Royal again, I'll stick to playing WCW vs NWO Revenge on my n64.

So totally the awesomest.

OMG, that was my favorite wrestling game back during the N64. Still think it is one of the better ones. I say was my fav, because I like Raw vs Smackdown 2007, I didn't like 08 or 09.

Anyone else a little sad looking at that roster and seeing how many of those wrestlers are dead when they would really only be in their 60s or so??

And seriously - Koko B Ware a Wrestlemania Legend????????????????

He's getting inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame at Wrestlemania so apparently so. He's not someone I'd call one of the greatest of all time but when you think of the WWF in the late 80s/early 90s he's one guy that comes to my mind atleast.

Is Bret Hart in the HoF yet?

Just curious because I don't follow wrestling at all anymore.

Yup a couple of years ago, he was inducted by Steve Austin which was kinda cool.

There was a mini problem where Bret stated that if Shawn Michaels was present that he would walk out. He made an amazing speech which ended with "Don't worry about me, I'm alright now"

Wow, I just went through a list and there were about 5 guys that I didn't even know about. It's very hard to keep track of them all.

It's a great start for a roster, lots of room for improvement, they said if this game gets good sales then they will do an annual release much like SVR. At least they were nice enough to put a lot of character attire in the create-a-wrestler section to appease those pissed about someone missing. For example you have the stuff to create Savage, Vader, Demolition, Golddust, I think Doink, and some others.

Pretty sure I'm going to pick this up, the last Wrestlemania I watched was IV when I was a kid so I don't know anyone on the Raw/Smackdown games.

Should be some good, goofy fun playing as the Ultimate Warrior, Jake the Snake, etc.

It'd be nice to have the British Bulldogs in it. The Bulldogs Wrestlemania match was epic.

Found this on gamespot.com:
