Taming the timing and stamina subtleties unique to the series already takes hours of practice before you can master the hundred-plus available wrestlers. The Story mode and its career, the tournaments, the Edit mode for crafting your own fighters and cable-link multiplayer sustain near-endless replayability. That depth of simulation, demanding yet rewarding, explains the cult that surrounds the series.
