First off, it's good. Its much better then the first LOW control wise. Lets get that out of the way right now. The controls do feel a tad sluggish, but nothing compared to the first game. I haven't noticed that delayed striking that the first game had. Its much better. It plays well so far, definitely. My only gripe is it feels a tad sluggish at times. Is it unresponsive though? No. Not so far at least. All said, it shows work has been done.
As far as glitches go, I've played three matches so far. UW VS Hogan, Bulldogs VS Roadies, and an 8 Man tag match. I saw two glitches, which were miseed animation on a chinlock and a DDT. In both cases there was some clipping, the wrestler grabbed a little to close or a little to far.
The movesets seem pretty good for the most part. There are some things I will change, but its a big step up over the previous game. One thing I have noticed is that the movesets seem light. Like there aren't as many moves. The game has a more brawling pace to it. Don't get me wrong, its not like the first RAW game where its nonstop punching. But, its light in the moveset department...this game feels more like something you'll play with your buddies then over and over by yourself.
Graphics are fantastic. All the wrestlers look incredible...really, you will smile when you see these guys if you are an old school fan. Arena's are terrific, and they did a great job with the rings and mats giving off the old school look and feel. There are new looking places as well. Blood is some of the best I've seen in a game, if that's your thing. On that note, The Roadies immeditaely busted open the bulldogs. I thought that was pretty cool.
Camera angles are great. Sometimes its just like TV. Also they did away with the God awful tag team angles that have plagued the previous LOW.
Selling is more or less the same in the gamingring videos, if not a little better at times. I've seen guys get up from dominators at the start/mid of a match, but I've also seen them stay down from punches and whatnot at the beginning. Near the end everyone sells.
Animation is great, especially for move reversals. Lots of cool stuff going on.
Very easy to pick up and play.
CAL seems somewhat decent. Not great, but not that bad either.
I have not seen Million Dollar Man's outfit! WTF, he has a white suit, black suit, blue trunks, and red trunks. wtf...
All in all, its a good game. I'd probably give it an 8/10 if I had to right now, I've only played 3 matches...but its a huge step up over the first LOW. Is it the best wrestler out there? No way...its to light in the movesets department, and has to many little problems with selling, sluggish controls ecd. That being said, its allot of fun. Definitely. The controls are easy to pick up and play, and they are definitely decent. This seems like a terrific game to play with friends. Those looking for the be all, end all single player experience probably should look elsewhere.
