Originally intended to be an Xbox launch game, numerous delays pushed back the game's release from November 2001 to February 2002. Due to a recent string of lawsuits directed towards the WWF blaming the company for youth injuries, the game's blood effects were removed. In earlier builds of the game, wrestlers would bleed realistically from different body locations, and drip blood on the mat, which would remain there and darken to a brown color as time passed. The PC version of this game can be modded, meaning that it can be modified and updated as the player desires. The Xbox version can also be modified using Game Extractor software, but with more difficulty. The game also allowed players to edit their favorite superstars, this is the second WWE game to offer it.
