"I got a chance to checkout the current build of the game at the E3 convention today. The game was running at both the Acclaim and Xbox exibit areas, with Acclaim showing both the Xbox and PS2 versions. I looked for it at the big PS2 booth but I didn't see it. I spent the most time at the Xbox booth playing it, as that is the version I'm getting. To be honest, the game wasn't getting a lot of attention, since it was sitting between a Street Fighter aniversery game on one side and Dance Dance Revolution 2 on the other. More play time for me.
ENTRANCES: I watched a number of them and they all seemed glitch free from what I could tell. I didn't see any major clipping going on. Yes, Curt Hennig's entrance has been fixed, he no longer slips off the apron. LOD goes to separate corners as well. A nice touch is the managers are announced with the wrestlers.
GRAPHICS: The vids don't do the game justice, both the xbox and PS2 versions look awesome. The arenas are all rendured beautifully, the only glaring oversite is the missing ramp for the Tokyo Dome. The wrestlers all look like the real athletes for the most part.
SOUND: At first I couldn't hear much because the sound was down real low. I called over a xbox rep who turned the sound up to the max, lol. I have to say the commentary is actually very good. It's slightly behind the action at times but it's generaly very well done. Tony S. Heenan and Larry Z all flow pretty well together. They start off the match welcoming you(the viewer) on behalf of Acclaim to Showdown. They all introduce themselves and give their thoughts on how they think the match will be. One nice touch is that they make mention of classic past matches(or 1st title reigns) some of the wrestlers have had during the course of the match. Very nice. The sound effects are about as good as they should be I guess..punches and slams and weapon shots sound good.
CONTROLS/GAMEPLAY: Again, speaking of the xbox version..to me it plays like LOW2 with a few tweaks. The ISP system is gone. Reversals are easier to pull off, using the X button at the right time. I didn't see any submission moves done but I found out before I left the show that someone turned them off in the options menu."
