Awesome.

Great. Realistic. Animation is superb. No clipping at all.

Sound: 10/10
Superb.

Gameplay:
You start off as an new, unknown wrestler in the WWE. You get to customize what this character looks like with an extensive Create-A-Wrestler interface.

I'm not sure how it works behind the scenes at wrestling, but you play as your character gets ready for a match. This includes "rehearsals" or whatever, plus training and stuff.

Once you hit it big in the WWE, you're given the option to continue wrestling and doing a good job, or you can go on and wreck havoc. You can totally botch moves during matches, screw up your rehearsals. Mess up live matches by interrupting matches you're not even supposed to participate in, beat up wrestlers outside the ring, and eventually you'll get fired for all this.

After you get fired, you end up living in a small apartment. This is where a new set of gameplay starts. It's kinda like GTA here. A free-roaming adventure within a city. You can do whatever you want, like in the GTA games. You can beat up pedestrians (even lay a few of your wrestling moves on them) and steal their money and stuff. Of course, the law will get involved, and you could end up in jail or end up paying some fines or something.

Your main goal here is to make money and become successful. You need money to buy food and cars and weapons and cool stuff like that (though stealing these things is also an option, but more difficult to get away with). Like the Sims, you can get a job by simply finding jobs in the newspaper. You don't really need to train for them or anything. Like you wanna be a doctor? Okay, select it, and you're a doctor. No college or schooling involved, 'cause that's boring, though you will be given a tutorial on how to perform your job.

Like lets say you become a surgeon. Then the game becomes like Trauma Center, but you're still part of the free-roam game while not at work. You could be a delivery person, and drive around delivering stuff to different locations. You could become a hitman. You could even choose to become an athlete again, either getting back into wrestling, or playing another sport. If you choose to be a baseball player, you'll start playing the baseball game, and you could get signed on to teams and get contracts and make it your full-time career and the gameplay here will end up like a full-fledged baseball game with seasons and what not. You're still allowed to play the free-roam game, however, as long as you're not on the job.

There would be a vast amount of jobs to choose from, only the smaller ones will be available from the start.

Fun Factor: 10/10
Outstanding.

The Bottom Line:
The game won't be made. The game would take many MANY resources to develop, and would cost lots of money, but it would be an awesome game.

Overall:
- Packaging: 10/10
- Graphics: 01/10
- Sound: 10/10
- Fun Factor: 10/10
- Overall (not an average): Snakes on a Plane/10
