 WRESTLEMANIA 19 June 1, 2008

YESTERDAY ME AND MY COUSIN BRIAN WENT TO THE MALL. WE WENT TO GAMESTOP.
BRIAN GOT DAY OF RECKONING 1 AND I GOT WRESTLEMANIA XIX. THEN WE CAME
BACK TO MY HOUSE TO SEE WHICH GAME WAS BETTER. I THOUGHT WRESTLEMANIA 19
WAS BETTER AND BRIAN THOGHT WRESTLEMANIA 19 WAS BETTER TO. I LOVED
DAY OF RECKONING I TO AND IT IS BETTER THAN DAY OF RECKONING 2 BUT
WREASTLEMANIA 19 IS BETTER. I LOVED REVENGE MODE. THE GAME IS AWESOME.
 Revenge mode. The only reason you'll ever want to play this game. November 12, 2007
With regards to improvements from previous games, this one was a great step from the massive downgrade that was Wrestlemania X8. Where Wrestlemania X8 had a limited roster, and an even more sharply limited Create a Wrestler feature and storyline, Wrestlemania XIX improves greatly with roster, and CAW.
The action does not change too much, and it's pretty much an average game from there.
What makes this better than average is the lack of a storymode, in its place being Revenge mode.
Revenge mode, on its own, is the sole reason this game ever deserves more than some fleeting play until the next year's release of Day of Reckoning.
What's better than being hired by Stephanie McMahon to ruin Wrestlemania by killing dozens of innocent security guards, construction workers, dock workers, and the occasional WWE superstar by throwing them off the top of an incomplete skyscraper, or off the edge of a cargo ship?
I am NOT JOKING when I say one mission involves you having a contest with Chris Jericho or Eddie Guerrero or some other random superstar to see how many construction workers you can throw off the edge of a roof in 10 minutes.
While some missions, fun in themselves, consist of killing (or "eliminating") as many security guards as you can in an amount of time, or making them bleed, or destroying scenery, some missions give you additional challenges, such as trying to break through a metal door on a freight ship to crash it into port, or climbing up construction machinery to escape dock workers, or jumping from hanging chains over rushing traffic to try and reach and kill a superstar standing atop a high ledge by throwing him into traffic.
Somehow, despite killing between 30-50 people, utterly destroying a WWE shopping mall, smashing up a freighter, blowing up an incomplete skyscraper, and bashing and smashing expensive cars in a WWE parking lot, this whole conflict is settled by wrestling Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania.
Oh, and the security guards, construction and dock workers are all trained in basic wrestling moves like dropkicks, piledrivers, Mongolian chops, and knee smashes.
Once you get tired of Revenge mode, the game itself becomes pretty obsolete and ordinary. But soon you get the urge to play it again. The best part is you don't have to use CAWs but can use other WWE wrestlers in Revenge mode.
Wrestlemania XIX gives you the opportunity to do what 50 minutes of pounding on an opponent never gave you in any previous game or future game: kill people.

It's fun but at the same time it can be a little tricky, especially when you have it in expert mode. I really don't have to say any more than that.

This review is not going to be that explicit because there are already a lot of other ones in here. Let's break it down.
The graphics are awesome. The characters are somewhat exagerated but they still end up looking pretty realistic. I like the style a lot more than the previous title.
The music is almost perfect. Only a handfull of superstars are lacking their theme music, namely matt hardy, RVD, Evolution, and Rikishi. Fortunately you can still listen to Hogan's Voodoo CHild, Edge's White Zombie theme, and Undertaker's theme, among others. Some themes are outdated for the time the game was released, like Kane's, but I guess we should be thankfull that they aren't many. A create a stable option would have been very apreciated. That way we could have recreated fun tag teams like Kane & the Hurricane, and the unamericans, or created la resistance or the world's greatest tag team.
The animation is below PS2 smackdown's but leaps and bounds better than the other titles. Hogan's entrance is really a thing of beauty. Every superstar feels different and that is a great accomplishment. The moves have been improved since last year and the gameplay is more fun. Like a more arcade-like Wrestlemania 2000. Tag teams even enter the ring together. But the only teams that seem to do this are the Dudleys, Goldust & Booker, and Los Guerreros.
I only really dislike 2 things about the game. First is the inability to create your own tag team. This wouldn't be so bad except that PS2 smackdown's series already has 2 games with that ability! The 2nd thing is the revenge mode. It is pretty anoying after a couple of fights. Thankfully you don't have to complete it to earn money, since you can just keep starting over everytime you need cash to spend in the shopzone. I also really wish that tehy would have included legends, or at least some of the legend's theme songs to use in the create a superstar section.
The game still has tremendous multiplayer replay value. You can customize any wrestler's moveset, and create many more; but I can 't help but feel that the game could have been much better with some of the features already present in THQ's PS2 line.
