As you might have guessed, Revenge plays remarkably similar to World Tour. In addition, Asmik has done an excellent job of capturing the speed and style of professional wrestling. Players can now sprint up and slide into or out of a ring, battle outside the ropes, or inside with weapons. More than any other wresting game on the market, Revenge feels, moves and plays like the real thing. It must be said, however, that THQ's title doesn't offer the variety of moves that Acclaim's title does.
Collision detection is also much better.
Unfortunately, one of the major annoyances from the original has returned in the sequel. You can break most pins by tapping the analog stick, which screws up the multiplayer game for some. If you don't want to enter a Championship, Exhibition offers a quick Single Match or Tag Match, or you can try your luck at the 40-man Battle or Handicap Match. The difficulties have also been tweaked. If you're kicking butt on easy, try the same thing on Hard and watch the tides turn rather quickly.
