So I just finished playing the WWE All Stars demo for a while. I played as both Ultimate Warrior and Rey Mysterio (the only 2 characters for the Demo), and I played in the All Stars arena (only playable arena, which is a custom for the game). Here are my thoughts.
1. The game is fun. As can be seen by the art style and the videos, it's not a sim, it's about fun. It's so over the top it's insane. EASILY the most over the top wrestling game in In Your House for PS1 (which was the sequel to Wrestlemania The Arcade Game).
2. The characters look AWESOME. VERY slick in High Def
3. Fink doing the entrancs is awesome, as is JR/King doing the commentary.
4. It's RIDICULOUSLY fast paced action. It took me a while to figure out how to do all the different moves for each guy, and I still haven't figured it all out yet.
5. the controls are very good. Easy to do everything, once you learn what each button does (X/Square is weak strike, Y/Triangle is strong strike, A/X is weak grapple, B/Circle is strong grapple, Right Stick modifies grapples mid move.
Basically, what I'm saying, is that this game is damn awesome. I can't wait to play as the full roster.
