Once i got used to the controls, I'd say the gameplay is better..
The 24/7 mode is not too good... They need to go the style of storymode that Smackdown 2 had.. Where you could have multiple people playing, and it was more open-ended..
I think they should get rid of voiceovers so they can have better storymodes..
Its sweet on 360 being able to use custom music for your create-a-player.
Create-a-player is more deep than last year, and the signature styles things, whatever there called are really cool. That's the best gameplay improvement.. And the ECW style matches are fun as hell.
