Great game!
This game is the best wrestling game that I have played in a long time! Works great & I will buy from this seller again.

An improved game overall
This game provides general improvements over the original Day of Reckoning, updated wrestlers & improved graphics. The stamina feature is an overdue touch of "realism". Good work overall.

The ups & downs
Okay the ups are there are good characters & good moves. Some more are the good create an entrance. The downs are there are no voice overs bad season & not enough legends. It took me like 1 year 2 complete game. If you want the best wretling game buy svr 2006

Same old same old
I rented this game & was highly disapointed with it i who have played/owned almost all the WWE/WWF games 4 all systems thought this game wasnt good. First of all it is almost exactly the same as DOR1 witch i dont like.The problem with these games is that in season mode u have 2 create a superstar witch restricts u from sertain moves .Since Season mode is horrible this game is mainly a Multiplayer game .But mutliplayer mode isnt good either there are no 5or6 player matches just cause there is only 4 controller slots on gamecube.Also they added stamina on 2 this game witch was 2 make it more realistic witch is good the problem is it takes 4 ever 2 restore.
This game is only good if u have a party & u want 2 play a multiplayer game but in some ways DOR1 is better. So i dont reckemend this get Smackdown vs Raw 2006 or the first verson instead u will be so much happyer

Disappointing sequel 2 a perfectly awesome game
Day of Reckoning 2 when I read up on the previews & such, seemed 2 have nothing much new going 4 it save 4 a totally new graphics system which was supposed 2 make the wrestlers look more "realistic" along with the usual updated roster.
Unfortunately, that's pretty much all it has going 4 it.
Aside from the basic new stuff (better background music without the damn rap music, new moves, new roster), the graphics system DOES look a LITTLE better from Day of Reckoning, however, at the expense of totally screwing up the Create a Superstar option!
Due 2 the new graphics flesh system, the create a superstar option is much more tricky & complex 2 deal with, & in most all cases (with my characters) they come out looking like monkeys or pig-faces. Their skin is always blotchy & discolored like when you spill milk on a white fabric & let it dry 4 a week or so. The faces are virtually impossible 2 work into a passable human mold, & the presets all look like hideous inhuman creatures with comically oversized or undersized features (all the females have tiny squinty eyes & fat lips, all the males have gorilla noses & square heads)
So they have totally messed up the CAS system, as well as another horrible new addition: making it impossible 2 re-edit attributes once you've already set them (so if you give your char 10 speed & 5 counter, realize your mistake & try 2 fix it, you CAN'T)
Also, the AI is much much worse from the first one. It seems 2 have been unnecessarily dumbed down in order 2 make it harder 4 the player, perhaps. Well they succeeded, in the most ass way possible. The AI is ALWAYS out 2 get YOU. They don't particularly care about each other in 3ways or 4ways or Royal Rumbles. If you so much as look in their direction, they will LITERALLY turn on you & attack you nonstop until they're attacked by someone else. They also don't see any need 2 put on an actual match, choosing instead 2 try & counter all your moves, then use the resulting energy 2 perform their specials on you & end the match, as opposed 2 the original Day of Reckoning AI which sought 2 try & beat you up, rather than reverse all your moves.
One thing else small but noticable. While the ring appearance & movement is slightly smoother than in the original (due mostly 2 the new graphics system), they've done away with the screen rattling & flashing in the original (such as the white flash when someone reverses something, or that bone-shattering crash when you perform a special on someone & K.O. them), so it is much more stable than the original. This is not a pro or a con, as the shaking may have annoyed some people, or have entertained some (I liked it, though, as it added a more thunderous quality 2 certain moves & bumps)
All in all, a disappointment, & not worth spending full price on. It's pretty much exactly what the title says: Day of Reckoning 2. No subtitle, nothing particularly brand new.
