WWE Day of Reckoning is a wrestling video game released for the Nintendo GameCube console in 2004, based on World Wrestling Entertainment. It was followed by a sequel released in 2005, WWE Day of Reckoning 2.
WWE Day of Reckoning features 40 WWE Superstars including John Cena, Eddie Guerrero and Randy Orton. New features include an all-new story mode, entitled, "School of Hard Knocks," where players start in the "minor leagues" of sports entertainment and take their created Superstar up the ranks of the WWE. Throughout the story mode, players will encounter several deceptive twists in their elusive quest for a WWE contract and Superstar status. WWE Day of Reckoning also showcases several WWE Legends, including Andre the Giant, Brett Hart and Roddy Piper, giving WWE Day of Reckoning a massive stable of overall talent. In addition, WWE Day of Reckoning features the ever-popular Bra & Panty match, a first for a GameCube product. In addition to Superstar entrances, licensed music will be featured throughout the game for the first time. An enhanced grappling system with strong and weak grapples, location specific damage, unique Superstar attributes and improved presentation all serve to make WWE Day of Reckoning the deepest WWE title on GameCube to date.
