There is room for improvement: Backstage story lines could be deeper. I was able to make myself, complete with 'real' fighting moves, and took out powerhouses Stone Cold and the Rock before slamming into the stone wall that is Al Snow. Over 50 superstars are now packed into the roster and the super-deep create-a-superstar mode boasts an array of options and moves to make anything from jobber to submission fighter. The simplified control system is still intact, making the game easy to get into, although having more than two characters on-screen seems to affect the control's timing a bit.
The improved double-team moves make pulling off a '3D' with a friend truly rewarding. The character models and animation are some of the best I've seen in a wrestling game, although I got sick of waiting for mo-capped moves to complete before I could interfere during multiplayer games. Asmik has taken just about everything from Wrestlemania 2000 and made it better. Make sure you don't pass up this little gem while waiting for a good wrestling game to come out on DC or PS2.
