Graphically WWFSM2 is as crisp as ever. The polygon models used for each character are smooth and nicely animated (although typically there are still a couple of superstar faces that don't really look like the real wrestler). This is one of those titles that you can watch from the other side of a room and swear someone is viewing an actual wrestling match (much like the soccer games designed by EA Sports). A nice touch which always impresses me with this game engine is how the developers have managed to take over 50 combatants and yet match their proportionate size to each other perfectly, unlike older wrestling games in which everyone was the same height.

The arenas themselves are also impressive, especially when you decide to take the battle backstage. There are so many rooms behind the scenes that you may be lucky to find yourself back to the ring, but the main highlight of this is obviously the availability of weapons. There are all sorts of things lying about for you to pick up and smack over the head of your unsuspecting opponent (or at least smash their head into them), such as tables, chairs, sofas, drink machines, cars and even a forklift! The crowd is also well done, and while its animation pales in comparison to the wrestlers, their main feature is holding up signs that are specific to whichever wrestler is in the ring at the time. A nice touch indeed.
