The Fighting Games of 2005
There is a nice article from Gamedaily.com that talks about the fighting games of 2005:
"Wrestling: The WWE had another strong year of programming, highlighted by controversial moments (the "death" of the Undertaker, the crowning of new champions Batista and John Cena, the death of Eddie Guerrero) and plenty of memorable matches (ECW One Night Stand). Not to be outdone, a couple of video games also made the label worth loving again, courtesy of THQ and their strong development teams.
WWE's year didn't start this way, however. THQ's release of WWE Wrestlemania 21 turned a few heads with a new development team and engine. However, the gameplay was severely flawed, and the graphics just didn't impress. The game ended up being a mess and ripped to shreds by GameDaily writer Chris Buffa, and he's a WWE fan!
Fortunately, the WWE and THQ made a comeback, starting with the GameCube release WWE Day of Reckoning 2, a game that stands as one of the best wrestling games for the system. Utilizing a number of modes, including the return of the Bra and Panties match that so many fans adore, the game also featured tightened gameplay and plenty of wrestlers to choose from including John Cena and a few classic wrestlers, like Bret "The Hitman" Hart and Andre the Giant."
