I'm going to agree with Mike on this one.

Call me 'old' (which I am most likely in reference to most here!),' but I'm playing the game to put on highest rated match versus win/lose and/or perfect authenticity. For instance, taunts allude to finishing moves one cannot necessarily execute at that moment based on stored Finisher/Specials. Which is a limitation of a game.

I'm having a blast with the game via the 'perfect match' goal, and I find it captures the WWE live spirit quite nicely. Of course, I'm a huge Ring of Honor/Independent Wrestling fan/attendee (wrestlinginflorida.com), so my expectations of the game are different. (For example, I really like the PS3 Impact Wrestling game.) I suspect others of this leaning - versus highest level WWE loyalists - might like this game.

Still, nice review and critiques duly noted. I love reading posts here!

We can debate which games are more difficult but I think from a gameplay stand point HCTP had a winning formula. Like you said it was fun, fast paced, and relatively challenging.

Thanks for the tip, fellas, HCTP. Ordered it this evening!
