Graphics - About the same as last year's game, a few improvements, clipping is vastly improved and the Havok engine has added so much to the look and feel like your foot sitting on the rope when you land next to it, and just little touches like that. 9/10

Sound - Pretty good. Music sounds good and it has a nice soundtrack. The in ring sound could be better but it's improved over last year. Commentary is MUCH better this year but still needs work. 7.5/10

Controls/Gameplay - Aweomse. The new clicking R3 to do submissions is a nice addition because you always know where your submissions are no matter who you play as now. The new one button reversals make for a much more realistic match and almost every move is reversible now but it can be a bitch to get used to. The new additions like apron moves, side ground moves, the new momentum system (feels much more realistic), new royal rumble, and other new additions like superstar threads (edit in game wrestlers' outfit colors), Story designer, and new matches like Championship Scramble which is great, really make this game awesome. The improved blood (looks better and gets on you as you hit a bleeding opponent), tons of new and improved moves, and the ability to better link a signature move into a finisher like doing the spinebuster into the people's elbow with the Rock really make this game even better. Also, the roster is great! 9/10

Presentation - This is one of the places the game shines this year. They added so much to make it look and feel like it's a real WWE program. Load times are VERY quick and that makes a big difference. The additions like adding the WWE Live logo to the bottom corner during a match, the easy to control menus, the "jump right in" training mode on the main menu, and all the little stuff like finally having the belt show on the screen before a title match really bring the game around and make it realistic. 10/10

Online - Still laggy as ever but now you can upload and download created wrestlers, stories you make using story designer, highlight reels of your matches, etc. and people can rate them and whatnot too. 8/10

OVERALL - There are quite a few limitations that kept me from calling this the best wrestling game ever. It definitely puts up a good fight with WWF No Mercy (N64) for best ever but the limitations like only 10 created wrestler appearances in story designer, not being able to copy your save file for back up purposes, the new Created Wrestler mode has quite a few annoying things, not being able to edit anything on the downloaded created wrestlers, and a few other things really held this game back from being a near perfect game.

Final Score: 8/10

damn im a big fan of WWE so i must buy this one, big d witch is better WWE09 or this one??

2010 by far when it comes to gameplay and modes but the Create A Superstar mode is so much better in the older games, the Created wrestlers look a lot better now but they took a lot of stuff out and made a lot of poor decisons about the mode which makes it difficult to use. But overall once you get used to it, it's good. Nice sig btw
