Beyond the graphics, the gameplay mechanics were successfully translated to the PSP’s unique control scheme. The game utilized the series' trademark "grapple and strike" system, mapping strong grapples to the circle button and strikes to the cross button. The development team cleverly utilized the PSP’s directional pad and analog nub to simulate the complex movement and momentum required in a wrestling match. While the "stamina" and "momentum" systems—new additions to the 2006 iteration—required some adjustment on the portable screen, the core gameplay remained intact. The load times, often a criticism of early PSP titles, were manageable and did little to detract from the smooth in-ring action. The inclusion of match types was also incredibly generous; from Hell in a Cell to the newly introduced Buried Alive match and the "Money in the Bank" ladder match, the game offered a depth of content that rivaled full-priced console releases.
