( This game came out last month but I didn't see a review for it.)

Wrestlemania is a game definetly for wrestling fans. The game features tons of match varietys. Such as:
1: Table, Ladder, and Chair matches which has you trying to set the ladder and climb to win the match. This is just like a ladder match but you can use tables and chairs. Also called "TLC".
2: Hell in the Cell matches are like regular matches except there is a cage. If you throw your opponent into one section of the cage three times, that section will break.

Those are the two most important match types.

being a wrestling fan, I was terribly disappointed in WM18.

The create a wrestler is HORRIBLE

Although some entrances and music are very much like the real thing, some are way off. Where's Rob Zombie for Edge's theme?

Finishing Moves do NOT finish an opponent, like on No Mercy and WM2000. And other things, like knocking someone off the Hell in a Cell, they can get back up real quick.

Limited amount of moves for each wrestler. a bit more realistic, but at the same time you also want variety

AI is STUPID. What do I mean? In table matches, they dont try to put you through any. they rarely climb ladders. in Battle Royal, when there are 3 people left they ALWAYS break up the pin attempts.

I did like some parts, like being able to counter special moves. that was an excellent addition.

Also good is how they "Blitzed" up gameplay. What do i mean bu "Blitzed?" Think of a Madden game and a NFL Blitz game. Blitz games tend to move at a faster pace than Madden games. the same goes for WM18. As much as I hate the fact they egt up from moves rather easily, I did like that when playing multiplayer.

Variety of matches was excellent.

I was very disappointed with Wm18, as stated above. No mercy for the N64 was far better.

I give it 5/10
