A "create-your-own-character" editor isn't an "option". It's a totally kick ass feature that adds loads of fun. And for a wrestling game, it lets you REALLY put yourself into the game (provided it lets you choose your own moves). Imagine making a character resembling yourself and going up against "the game" or "the rock" or "the [insert cheesy name here]" for the "cruiserweight title" or the "World Title", or the "[insert other worthless title here]". But seriously, CAW's really do add a lot to the game.
Hey, if rap isn't your thing (it's not mine), check out "Ultimate muscle". It's based on the cartoon, and is cel-shaded, but it looks super fun. Outrageous, impossible finishers... It's also being made by AKI. Even though it's less realistic, I think this game might actually end up being more fun than DefJam Vendetta. Besides, who looks for realism in prowrestling? And I'm not bashing prowrestling when I say that; I love prowrestling, but I honestly think UM will be more fun than DJV.
