Finally got Day of Reckoning 2 for the cube, had to dust my Gamecube off, find the controller. Was wondering if anybody else has played it. For those who don't know, it's a wrestling game, used to be known as Wrestlemania, runs on the same line as WCW vs NWO World Tour, No Mercy and other THQ wrestling games. I'm behind on the series as you can probably tell but I couldn't pass it up for twenty bucks at Walmart since I like the series so much. So far I like this one as much as the first game but for two things:
Insane load times. Loads before every scene, before every set of entrances, before every match, even little load times after you choose new bits for your created wrestler. I guess I'm too used to X-Box. I can say though that the created wrestlers look better then last time even though there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of extra stuff added for this game.
The other gripe I have is with the create function. They have it set so that no bit of gear can be placed in the crotch areas of all characters or the breast areas of the females (there is actually a force field there if you can believe it). Now, it may sound kinda perverted that I gripe about this but I like putting things on the costumes in those places, for example, a pair of bat wings along the decollatage of my Suzy Succubus character. I found a way to bypass this in the original game but my method doesn't work in the new game (in the first DOR, if you placed the bit of gear near the restricted area, then went to fiddle with the entrance, you could come back to the character and reposition the gear w/o any barrier). It's not a big gripe but it's funny they go to that much trouble so little Billy can't hang a tail from his CAW's crotch.
