HCTP got 10/10 in PSW, with the main improvements being the Season mode and the more arcady style gameplay and controls apparantly. The Season mode now has less wandering about with a screen now that tells you if anybody is about in the backstage areas, where as before you wouldn't know until you'd been everywhere. The controls have made simplier and opponents have better AI. They now know how to use weapons, attack more, and allies help more
The main bad points were the usual collision problem, no wrestler voices and that the blood could be better. But these are really minor points.
So, thoughts?

Well that and the fact him and Vince HATE each other and he also wanted sack loads of cash to appear in the game, could have had something to do with him not being in.
Classic wrestlers is a nice bonus too but no ultimate warrior (because he is in legends of wrestling) is a bit pants.

Probably not...but I wasn't really awake :p
Anyway, I wouldn't exactly say that the collision problem makes Smackdown completely unplayable.

Erm...I hardly think bad collison detection is a MINOR problem. For me, coming from No Mercy's excellent collision physics it is a problem which has rendered every Smackdown game COMPLETELY unplayable.
