than 40 WWE Superstars including John Cena(TM), Eddie Guerrero(TM) and Randy
Orton(TM). New features include an all-new story mode, entitled, "School of Hard
Knocks," where players start in the "minor leagues" of sports entertainment and
take their created Superstar up the ranks of the WWE. Throughout the story mode,
players will encounter several deceptive twists in their elusive quest for a WWE
contract and Superstar status. WWE Day of Reckoning also showcases several WWE
Legends, including Andre the Giant(TM), Brett Hart(TM) and Roddy Piper(TM),
giving WWE Day of Reckoning a massive stable of overall talent. In addition, WWE
Day of Reckoning features the ever-popular Bra & Panty match, a first for a
GameCube product. In addition to Superstar entrances, licensed music will be
featured throughout the game for the first time. An enhanced grappling system
with strong and weak grapples, location specific damage, unique Superstar
attributes and improved presentation all serve to make WWE Day of Reckoning the
deepest WWE title on GameCube to date.
