Francesc Fabregas Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I took the day off work (!) to pick this up. I'm giving it a run through just now and it's alright. It's quite difficult to get out of a pin though - I went CM Punk and took on Santino Marella and despite kicking his head in, he won the match with his first pin attempt. Anyway. Reviews have been pretty lukewarm - a lot of features are missing, apparently - but looking forward to see what it brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD1711 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just bought this today on my lunch break, got £30 gift vouchers from GAME for my birthday from the work colleagues, so only ended up spending another £20 to get the Sting edition. Looking forward to getting stuck into it over the weekend, hopefully the career mode is good. Missed having that in last year, even though road to Wrestlemania was pretty decent.

forameus Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Interested to see what you guys think. Intended to pick it up, but with GTA out the same day the money went on that. Was going to maybe wait until someone gets bored of it and pick it up pre-owned at CEX if it's any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellV1 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I've had a few games of it. The gameplay itself is as good as it's ever been, ive had some of the best matches on a wrestling game since No Mercy. Managed to update Rollins & Ambrose's attire thanks to the edit a superstar mode, can't see me touching create mode other that that though as its been gutted out. Career mode ends as soon as you win the WWE Title apparently, so if you win it in year 4 it will skip 11 years into the future to your retirement match. As I said the gameplay mechanics are really good & a solid foundation to build on but Im not sure how much replayabilty it'll have for me beyond the first 2-3 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Are Pars Fans! Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Got to agree, impressed with the gameplay. Entrances are again well executed. Problem is longevity, after a few weeks I reckon this won't be getting played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Feel the gameplay is good, hard for me as a beginner, so still getting used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binos123sam Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Worst game ever I don't think I will ever play it again i think it is giving me depression steel cage matches are impossible to win same as getting out of grapples and submissions and I don't like anything about it tbh it's made me bite my tele and my controller I might need to go to the doctors about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Luis Suarez eat your heart out....... Would be good if you could do a career with a normal wrestler. Feel like I can't do any decent moves, seem to only be able to punch and kick till you reach your signature or finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGMilne Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I've never understood why they didn't keep the AKI No Mercy engine for WWE games. The Smackdown engine has always been terrible. For me, there's no flow to it; you just press a button and watch a cutscene. Having said that, it's got Colonel Mustafa in it and I've always wanted a copy of his theme music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Can you update it via Xbox live? For the amount of time it's taken to come out, the fact the shield are in it irritates me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
