The game is on sale and looks good but I haven't watched WWE is a while, do you guys think it's worth it at 50% off?

Thanks.

Also, what do you think about the listing? It's advertised by Ebay so it's legit but it still feels sort of cheapish.v

It's awful pretentious to just say..Worth it?

If you like wrestling yes. It's the best WWE game Yukes has made in a long while.

How about if you used to like wrestling but haven't watched it in a while?

Sorry Neku. We cool?

i don't think you need to be a fan of wrestling to enjoy this game, but it would really make it a much more enjoyable experience. the new wake-up taunts are a ton of fun to use and i get all giggly because i'm like "it's just like on tv!'. the new presentation style looks great and some of the animations are great, but some of them also look strangely robotic and void of any life.  
 
i haven't played a smackdown game since 09, but it feels a tad slower this time around. the game is much more fun, though. maybe how the pacing has been much more improved or the satisfying feel of pulling off a move. whatever it is, it's made the game more fun to play. the weapon physics are still wonky and messed up, but that kinda adds to the fun of it. during a ladder match, a ladder tipped over and knocked everyone over which was kinda cool. tables also explode into pieces which is crazy. 
 
should you buy it? i would totally recommend it. there's some cool surprises and unlockables in there especially if you haven't watched wrestling in a while and used to like it. there's neat dlc like Christian's outfit from WM2000 (or was it X-Seven?) and the creation tools are still as crazy as ever. i like it a lot, and this is someone who was always grumpy over how the SVR series would never top 2006, which is one of my favorite wrestling games next to No Mercy and Shut Your Mouth.  
 
also, the commentary is still trash. i was playing today and Cole described a table breaking as a "thunderous explosion of humanity"

Heck yeah, man! I wasn't even mad at you. :P

Who the hell could mad at Claude? You are awesome.

Do you think it would be able to get me back into watching WWE? I didn't stop watching it because it got crappy or anything, I just sorta lost interest and stopped watching it. =/

I got back into watching wrestling with SvR 2010, so it is certainly something that can get you back into it. Also, WWE 12 is really fun. Except for the server problems.

Do the unlockables display in a locker room or something like that as they did it 2007? Yeah, sorta useless feature but it was a nice touch. :P

Nah, nothing quite so fancy. All you get is a little icon that sys "Hey you unlocked this dude"

As much as it pains me to say this - the game is completely broken.

Not completely, but at leastt he PS3 version has some MAJOR slowdown and lot of moves cancelling out other moves. As I am going for a running strike, but my opponent didnt counter, but his Irish Whip grapple cancelled out my strike.

I think it's the best this series has been, but when there are more than 4 guys in he ring, it feels like I am watching the game break. And stuff liek that just frustrates me.

I am not playing the game online. Thats an easy decision for me, not unless its against a friend I know well and even then I'd prefer to just meet up IRL for it. This game is great fun if you have a friend to play it with, and is worth it if you would enjoy just making fun matches and rivalries in Universe Mode. You either need friends for shits and giggles, or you need to enjoy wrestling. The game produces great 1 on 1 normal matches, most everything else can be a bit clunky. Weapons and other match types aren't so great. Counters seem a bit too frequent but I've heard tonnes of people whining that they can't get a single one in, so idk. AI is pretty challanging, and with things such as reversing other peoples finishers giving you a finisher or comeback moments it can all change on a dime.
