"We are thrilled to offer a WWE title to N-Gage users - it's like winning the World Heavyweight Championship belt!" "The N-Gage platform provides gamers with a whole new attitude towards gaming - throw it in your pocket and go," said Tim Walsh, President THQ Wireless. "Its unique combination of gaming and phone features make the N-Gage as original as the WWE and a natural partner for us."

WWE Aftershock offers a wide variety of single player and multi-player modes to provide endless competition.
