THQ's Day of Reckoning 2 for GameCube Preview

THQ prepares Day of Reckoning 2 for loyal Nintendo fans. Japanese studio Yuke's, whose GameCube-dedicated development team is comprised of former Aki members, has stepped up to fill the studio's place and based on last year's hit WWE Day of Reckoning. DoR was a positive step in the right direction for THQ's wrestling franchises. The title in many ways played catch-up to competing games, but it also brought a polished look and solid grapple-based play mechanics to the table, both complemented by a host of wrestlers and even a linear, but nevertheless entertaining storyline.
Day of Reckoning 2 is a direct sequel to its predecessor in that it actually continues the storyline laid down in the first game. It's also the better of the two titles thanks to several noticeable enhancements, from improved graphics and presentation to a more involving and strategic fight system. This of course means that it's the best wrestling game to grace GameCube yet. But that noted, it still lags behind some of its competitors in a couple of key areas, a truth that will once again put off a group of diehard fans.
Some noted game facts:
* WWE-based wrestling game
* Direct sequel to WWE Day of Reckoning
* Continues the storyline of the first game; gamers will need to create new character
* Some 45 wrestlers to choose from, including Superstars, Divas, and Legends
* More than 10 play styles, from normal matches to Hell in a Cell and Last Man Standing
* 18 arenas including everything from Heat and Raw to Survivor Series and WrestleMania
* Tutorial mode teaches gamers to play like a pro
* Detailed create-a-superstar mode
* Earn money to buy extra arenas, weapons and more
* Enhanced grapple-based wrestling system over original Day of Reckoning
* New strategic submission and momentum shift systems
* Four-player compatible
