GOD no. I'm the guy who in 2008 was more excited to play Fire Pro Wrestling Returns then WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008. Why? Because what it lacked in graphics (2D sprites rather then 3D polygonal models like most modern games) it powerbombed SVR08 in gameplay. But I'm an old schooler. I come from a time where we didn't have HD high fidelity graphics...but we did have games you'd spend YEARS playing because of excellent gameplay and high replay value. As opposed to the games of today, where still playing it 6 months down the road it's a godsend.
