I'm actually getting ready to try this out now. Be back in a few with impressions.

4 wrestlers are available:

*Triple H
*Shawn Michaels
*Jeff Hardy
*Matt Hardy

You can choose between single match or tag team match, both normal. Entrances are in the game. And of course, it looks fantastic.

There is a new out of the ring camera which I am not a fan of. Its almost floor level and at an angle. Going to take time to get used to. Controls are the same as last year except now you store signature moves and can only perform finishers when you have a stored sig move and have full momentum.

I actually like the sound of this approach, so long as a single finisher will actually end a match now.

Is there any indication in the demo as to what each superstar ability does? I know the wrestlers have APF2K8-esque attributes now (on top of the rating system), and IGN has been listing the attributes each wrestler has in their countdown, but there's been no documentation to this point on what any of the attributes do.

not that I can see.

You can only store one sig move at a time.

its available in the European Playstation Store. If you have a European account, or set one up, you can download it.

After about an hour or so of gameplay, I got bored with it. Not saying the final version will be boring, but there is only so much you can do in the demo. I'll play it here and there for the next week or two.
