Well, here are even more impressions of the game.

Revenge mode:
Probably one of the most questionable things from the game's unveiling until well now. This mode well to put it frank is different. At first, I found it annoying, I mean certain missions just seemed impossible. Then, I thought it was dumb and had no place, but now that I got the hang of most of the controls and what not, it's pretty cool, and offers a nice challenge. The real bonus is completing the stages, and getting bonus levels for exhibition, which I wil touch on in a second.

Anyhow, most of the missions are barebones. Some are as easy as tossing Vince's goons off the platform or knocking them out which means just busting them open. Others are a bit more like beat the clock where you got to keep the goons and wrestler from something for a well. Then, there are the destruction missions where you have to break something down or something similar. The missions are Metal Gear Solid deep, but then again this is a wrestling game. The story is well, weird, but eh.

Now onto the real tricks, after completing all the missions in a Revenge section (Harbour, parking lot, Shopping mall and dock), you unlock exhibition stages that have certain rules based on the environment, but use wrestling rules. I only unlocked 2 of them so far, but that got me a total of 5 areas. Anyhow, some of them have basic rules similar to a Royal Rumble. Basically, you got to beat up your oppenents enough to toss them off platform/level. Others have rules similar to well, I guess the original boiler room brawl, you got to fight and pick up an object. Another has rules similar to ladder match, where there is a belt hanging and you got to use like cables to get it. It's not entirely real, but ti's fun nonetheless and adds a bit more to normal gimmicks matches, and like I said they are fun. It's a pretty sweet addition IMO.

I will talk more about the CAW/CAE later.

Here is a video someone made that is pretty cool

O and to answer Justin's questions
1)You can get belts if you win a KOTR tourney that has a belt on the line, and that is the just of it.

2)Yes, the Rock's new theme,look and intro is in.

I'm going to try something different for my next set of impressions. I'm going to do a match well provided commentary to go along with it.

Ok let's see. First the rules, it's a normal match with no DQs, falls out is 20 count, there is a 60 minute time limit. It will be on Raw (the ramp is high).

The match will pit Goldberg (myself) vs Triple H (cpu on normal).

JR:This is going to be one for the record books.

King: You are right, JR. Let's turn it to the fink.

Fink: This match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the World Heavyweight Title with a 60 minute time limit. In this match there will be no DQ.

Making his way to the ring from Atlanta, Georgia weighin in at 270 lbs, the challenger Goldberg.

JR: Goldberg looks in prime shape tonight.

The King: But is he ready to play the game.

Fink: And now making his way to the ring, he is the World Heavyweight Champion. The Game Triple H!

JR: The Champion looks like he means business. He can't get himself disqualified in this match. Almost anyting goes.

King: The Game will find some way to keep his title.

JR: Goldberg with a furious shoulder block out of the block knocing the World Heavyweight Champion off his feet.

King: But the chmap is back to his feet and rebounds with a punch, and another punch, wait no Goldberg reverses it!

JR: Yes, he reversed it into a step over throw. Andthe World Heavyweight Champon is down again. Goldberg is just dominatiing in the early going, sending the champion back to the mat with a tremedous clothesline.

King: He isn't human! Look at the power! He just gorilla press slammed the champ.

JR: What a thunderous powerslam by Goldberg. The early going has been nothing, but Goldberg, King.

King: Ina test of strenght, Goldberg just mowed over Triple H. The Game is going to have to pull something out to change the momentum of the match.

JR: The Champ finally knocked Goldberg down. It looks like he is going after the leg.

king: Yes! Yes! What a chop block by Triple H.

JR: Triple H with an underhanded eye rake, but Goldberg charged like a wild man knocking down the champ once again.

King: The Champ doesn' t seem to get anything going his way.

JR: That is inhuman. Goldberg just turned a military press into a front side slam. That is ungodly strenght.

King: Goldberg came with his A+ game today. He pulled off a snap DDT and powerbomb on the champion and the champ is hurting, and hurting bad.

JR: The Game was able to buy himself some time with that side russian leg sweep.

King: He is trying to kill the Game! Look at that superplex from the top rope.

JR: Triple H is desperate. He went for a small package and got nothing. Goldberg is to fresh for the champ.

King: And again Triple H returns to the legs with another chop block. Maybe that is his best bet.

JR: Triple H went for all or nothing on that play, but Goldberg showing his strenght once again, reversed the pedigree with a thunderous back body drop to the Game.

King: The Game doesn't know what to do, he went for it all there, and it didn't play off. The look on his face says it all. He is frightened.

JR: King it looks like the end may be near. Goldberg is calling for the Spear. He is poised.

King: He busted Triple H's ribs open with that one. That was one hell of a spear that sent the Champ rocking.

JR: Goldberg is going for it. Jackhammer! He got him up..

King: No the Game is showing the will to win. He reversed the Jackhammer! He reversed the jackhammer! Come on, Triple H!

JR: Goldberg went for another Spear and the Champ smartly sidestepped it, but he was taunting the fans and turned around into another Spear! Bah gawd, I think that one broke him in half.

King: Goldberg's going for all or nothing with the second Jackahmmer.

JR: It connects, we may have a new world heavyweight chmapion.

King: Goldberg has done it.

JR: GOLDBERG has down it! He has defeated the World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H in one hell of a match. It is a match that will be talked about for ages.
