Scores
Presentation: 7.0
-Stiff animation and the lack of a good deal of licensed music dulls the presentation. The list of wrestlers is impressive, but without proper entrances you can't help but be disappointed.
Graphics: 7.0
-Runs fluidly at 60 fps with multitexturing, cloth effects, and even with four grapplers on the screen. Character models could stand to be improved.
Sound: 4.0 (ouch)
-Sure there's licensed music, but the rest will make your ears bleed. Needs a lot of work.
Gameplay: 6.0 (double ouch)
-X8 is totally unique with its counter system, but too close to the home called Smackdown! This should have been the sequel to No Mercy -- it's not. Numerous collision detection and other limitations
Lasting Appeal: 5.0 ( 
)
-Multiplayer-focused. Questing for the belts is really only useful for unlocking wrestlers. Once that's over, the 42 wrestlers are all for multiplayer. Get some friends.
Overall: 7.0
