Mania 21 for XBox Out!!!

I might get it next month if I end up with some extra spending money. My X-Box is still a wrestling virgin.

But man what a lousy roster. The only debuting character is Eugene. They continue to waste precious spots by giving them to "Legends". There's the usual assortment of scrubs like Scotty 2 Hotty, Garrison Cade & Val Venis. And while Matt Hardy & Rhyno are understandable, what the hell are Jazz & Nidia doing in the game when they were fired seven months ago?

No Carlito, London or Akio. Heck, not even Hassan, Snitsky, Heidenreich, Kenzo or La Resistance. :nono:

At least you'll be able to rip music off of CDs for custom entrance themes. My number one CAW, Jack Dice will finally be able to come to ring with "Devil Without a Cause" playing instead of "Original Music 08". :P

Original Music 08 is okay but I think that Original Music 02 is a little bit better. :noesbueno
 
Apparently the game has some XBOX Live issues. Check this out from Gamespot :

"WrestleMania XXI: Online play pinned down?

Gamers attempting to wrestle over Xbox Live are getting KO'd by bugs; grappler hits retail stores today.
For wrestling fans, there's nothing like pile-driving an opponent into submission, especially when he or she is halfway across the country. THQ's WWE WrestleMania XXI, released today, was billed to let gamers do just that through the game's Xbox Live support.


Unfortunately, consumers who unwrapped the Xbox game and tried to use its online features have been slammed into an unwanted reality. Currently, WrestleMania XXI's online features won't even step into the ring.

News of the possible glitch began to spring up on forums around the Web, as disgruntled gamers explained their situations. Said one forum poster, "Anyone else who has the game having this problem [connecting to Xbox Live]? Any other game I can connect with, but this game doesn't even TRY to connect. It just says, 'Your Xbox console cannot connect to Xbox Live. Do you want to start the troubleshooter?'"

Attempts to wrestle online in the GameSpot offices met the same fate. Prerelease versions worked online, albeit with some lag issues.

When trying to play the Xbox Live portion of the game, players are receiving the "Could not connect to Xbox Live" error message. Attempting to sign in to users' Xbox Live accounts causes the game to immediately display the error message, indicating that WMXXI isn't even going through the standard procedures to connect online. However, when attempting to connect through the Xbox dashboard or another Xbox Live-enabled title, Microsoft's online service works just fine.

THQ is currently working with Microsoft to remedy the issue. GameSpot will have more on this story as it develops."
 
This game hasn't been getting great reviews. I usually don't let that influence my decision but I'll think I'll be saving my $50 bucks on this one.
 
I hope for SvR2 they scrap the voice-overs and just go back to text. They had to sacrifice so much stuff for them in the previous SvR game and they sounded terrible anyway.

I also hope they fix the CAW system so that your guys will look somewhat realistic again. I hate the cartoony look all the CAWs in SvR have.

And I hope they boost the roster back up to over 50 guys again. And ditch the Legends characters. I'd just prefer it if they use the Smackdown engine on a seperate game for the WWE Legends. And have the Smackdown series just stick with current guys.
