First off... Yay, the Gamecube controller is supported. Probably means Classic Controller is too (but I don't have one to test with).
Controls are 10x better then the Smackdown vs Raw series... really love this. Graphics are looking pretty good, maybe a touch better than previous versions. Saw a few graphical/physics glitches when playing a tables match... guy was floating in the air above the table, after the table collapsed. Didn't get in to story or career modes yet... just played two quick matches. Looking forward to playing this more... may consider picking up a copy for my Xbox 360, could be well worth it.
