Quotes:

Chris Jericho: I am here to entertain the people, to save them from their boredom, their agony. The adulation of the millions of Jericholics is all the thanks I need. Well, maybe a championship reign or two thrown in for good measure, huh? And what better time to shoot for that than on the Road to WrestleMania.

Better than SvR 2008! but a lot of things are gone! (PS3 review)

The game still provides solid gameplay and the new fighting system is a whole lot better than last years......inferno match is good....there are two huge disappointments this time.....no legends and no GM mode....I understand why they took off the legends to make room for Legends of Wrestlemania but why did they leave the GM mode......the road to Wrestlemania is good but pretty short and u can only play as 7 superstars but its cool cause u have the career mode.....u can finally change superstars roster......create-a-player is better than ever....the whole new tag team system looked great but was a acceptable result.....there were only two new things.....tag finishers and hot tag which cool........create-a-finisher is a so-so......in the road to wrestlemania batista an rey thing was a little hard to digest...i would have liked it more if we would have DX.......

All in all,it is huge improvement over last years including graphics...but could have been a whole lot better....

P.S menu screen is pretty bad.....
