HERE COMES THE PAIN ups the ante in the sex and violence video gaming stakes to unbelievable levels. For the first time in the series, players can target specific areas of their opponents’ anatomy to inflict the most damage possible, fully realised on screen with the most realistic character animations to date. Featuring a state-of-the art graphics engine enabling the full extent of the carnage to be illustrated including flowing blood from open wounds, HERE COMES THE PAIN literally does what it says by bringing the violence right into your living room.

Featuring a whole host of new game modes, HERE COMES THE PAIN offers the ultimate thrill for wrestling fans. The most eagerly anticipated game mode of all makes its video gaming debut in the form of the Bra and Panty match. The fans’ pleas have been answered, as you can now battle as one of a number of the sexy Divas of WWE, taking each other on in a sweaty, no-holds barred all-girl tussle, with victory going to the female wrestler who can strip her opponent down to the skimpiest of bras and panties. Victory has never looked this good!

With an updated roster of over 60 wrestling superstars, many doing their own voiceovers, including all the top new talent as well as an array of legendary wrestlers for the very first time in the WWE videogame series, HERE COMES THE PAIN allows the PLAYER to make the difference. No longer do all the wrestling superstars feel the same, this time who you pick truly matters. Superstars will each have their own unique strengths and weaknesses based on speed, power, strength and technical ability. The days of 180-pound Spike Dudley slamming 500-pound Big Show are over pal!

Set to become the new benchmark for wrestling games on the PlayStation 2, HERE COMES THE PAIN contains a vast array of new moves in its arsenal to force the opposition in to submission including an expanded grappling-based gameplay system, a character animation overhaul and new original storylines. To compete with this kind of video gaming thoroughbred takes sacrifice, sweat, hard work and dedication. Because at the end of the day, no pain, no game.
