Gameplay:
The gameplay on this game is freaking fantastic and am not just saying that cause am a big fan of the SvR Series, but for the fact that the new Object Physics make the matches more realistic and fun to play than past years. You can basically create any match that you want choose your superstars and jump into the match 15 to 20 minutes will go by without you even knowing. You have something called WWE Universe which combines GM Mode and Carrier Mode and makes the best Mode that any SvR games have had. Is basically a real time Storyline that you control you can make any certain superstar become champion, but this time you actually have to build them up to where you want them. The AI is not that difficult unless your playing in Legend then it gets difficult, but Hard and Normal are great modes for a casual good normal match. The New Superstars selection screen this year is my favorite feature of the game is layout like the Mortal Kombat Selection and makes the game even more great.
New Matches:
Hell in a Cell is the match that had the biggest Improvement it was redesign completely you can actually use weapons now in Hell in a Cell. TLC, Tables, Ladder, and many more matches have been improve for the better. The new Object Physics make the matches better than ever.
Graphics:
Don't let me get started on the graphics of the game if i may say there are the most realistic game that i have played. the superstars actually look like them even if some of them are a bit weird, but overall they look incredible. The new Muscle Flexibility makes the gameplay and superstars way better than last year if you actually stop and replay the match you can actually see the muscle of the Wrestlers Flex as they move (Freaking Incredible).
Music and Voice Acting:
The music on this game is the Superstars Entrance themes and some of the PPV music which every year is really cool to hear on a game as you play. Voice acting is a bit of a Fail in the game the only place where you see the Wrestlers talk is in RTWM and in the Cut Scenes the voice is great, but when you are Free Roaming backstage talking to random people the lip movement is not syn with the Voice acting even if the Voice is great the sound is not syn.
Online:
Last years edition was the worst Online that i have ever played in my entire life not to mention the cheaters in the game. This year the Online is good no more Lag, but the cheaters are still there you can have a good match if you play with people that you know. Community creations is something that the game had had for the second year and this year is bigger than ever. Now you actually upload Pain Tool creations for people to download them and the created superstars that you download you can actually edit them this year.
DLC and Unlockable:
There are over 60 unlockables in the game which if you have the time to unlock you can do it, but for the people that just wanna have fun with the game there is Downloadable content that you can buy separate of a bundle called Fan Axxess that gives you all of the Unlockables and Superstar custom stats. The will be DLC during the Holidays and if you bough Fan Axxess you will get those for free.
Creations:
CAW:This year the layout for the controls has change big time and i like the new changes they make the gameplay for fun. There is many new moves in the game like every year they take out and add new moves. You don't have to work to make created superstars stronger this year you just simple make them the overall that you want. the Abilities are no longer locked you can just pick the ones that you like. There are many new things to created the Superstars with from clothing to just simple random things.
Created a Finisher: Last year we had Create a Front Grapple Finisher and Create a Corner Finisher and this year the have added create a Top Rope Finisher which is really cool, but am not a Top Rope Finisher user so i wont be making one.
Paint Tool: Paint Tool has made its return and bigger than ever like i mention before you can actually Upload your creations to Online Community am not a big fan of creating things, but i do download the ones that other people have created.
The dummies that knew more moves than Chris Jericho and guided us through the many movesets in WWE Games for years are no more.
I remember them :(
they were in alot of past WWE games, I am trying to think how far back they go, its probably atleast the first WWE Smackdown vs Raw game
Ok well, that's farther back then I thought lol
I have Shut your Your Mouth, and Bring on the Pain and theyre awesome. I didn't have Just Bring It because at that time I still had a PS1
They even took THESE guys out?
The "FUTURE" of WWE games, Ladies and Gentlemen![/sarcasm]
A side by side screenshot comparison shows just how far WWE '12 has surpassed the SvR series in terms of graphics
