Players' Opinions:
This game is awesome, but unfortunately the storyline is crap!
-- From chris cornett
When I first saw the game on TV I knew that it would be the best wrestling game ever. I love playing with Brock Lesnar Shawn Michaels Rey Mysterio and so on. The only dislikes I have for this game is that the commentators don't talk but for the rest it's all good.
-- From an anonymous player
This game has not come out yet but i want WMX9 so bad my head is going to explode the only dislike I have is that my favorite wrestler Ray Mysterio looks too black but everything else is so cool. This was Alexander Ortiz. Let me holler at you player !
-- From Alexander Ortiz
This game is cooler than all of the other wrestling games because it has better graphics, and you could wrestle with the heart break kid Shawn Michaels, and you could wrestle with the next big thing Brock Lesnar, and you could wrestle with the highlight reel Rey Mysterio. This game have better moves than all of the other wrestling games because you could do the angle slam off the third rope. When this game come out I'm going to get it.
-- From Jordan Duncan
This game definitely looks better than WMX8. Its features look promising and the graphics are much better. The only thing I dislike about this game is that you can only play with up to four players, which sucks because Smackdown Shut Your Mouth you could play up to six or eight. But I'm definitely buying this game, in fact I already reserved it.
-- From Speedy Gonzales
AWESOME this game looks so cool. I have been a big wrestling fan all my life and I would love to play as the heart break kid Shawn Micheals and the devastating Brock Lesnar who brings the pain in the ring and in the games. For that impatience level, I would change it to 10/10 because i want it so bad my name is Alex Mayer and I assure all of you, when wrestlemaniaXIX comes out, im there.
