WWE '13 Review (Strategy Informer)

From Strategyinformer.com: "THQ doesn't know what to do with its WWE license. Last year's overhaul looked to be setting the franchise on a new road to glory. While refreshing, WWE '12 suffered from minor irritations and a lack of worthwhile content. The focus for this year's title should have been simple".

kinda crappy they sensor Austins middle finger, and road doggs song part where he says "well your ass better call somebody"

Captain Qwark 94208d ago

it could use more blood too and more environmental interaction and backstage areas. other than that its golden though, the in ring fighting is def the best its ever been. plays so smooth. best wwe game since 2007 imo

2pacalypsenow4208d ago

Yeah im enjoying it but the RAw is war arena is wrong they use the 1998-1999 (without the wwf logo) for the 1997 ones it didn't have the 2 metal beams. but just small details

Are Wrestling Games Getting Worse?

Some of you may know that the latest instalment in the WWE gaming franchise 2K20 was released late last year to generally poor reviews. Some of this was based on graphical issues, but mostly it was due to the many glitches and bugs found – many of which are hilarious to witness.

Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.

I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.

The Wood1573d ago

Anyone remember Giant Gram Wrestling on the Dreamcast .....

Rambokind1573d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1574d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191574d ago

I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games

b163o11573d ago (Edited 1573d ago )

Golden Era of wrestling games in the Golden Era of wrestling. I've been contemplating going back and getting a N64 and getting those classic's
WWF Wrestlemania 2000
WWF No Mercy
WCW vs. nWo Revenge

micdagoat191570d ago

Yeah its the only wrestling games I still play consistently for fun.

TheTony3161574d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1573d ago

Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.

Thq and AKI stopped making the games. The N64 games were the best

fad6323024d ago

couldn't agree more, think it was No Mercy which i liked the best, although I remember the WCW NWO game being very good also.

In its current carnation it will never top the N64 games

3-4-53023d ago

WWE 12 was the last good wrestling game.

WeAreLegion3024d ago

I'll tell you where they went right. WWE All-Stars freakin' rules.

Ruggadagod3024d ago

You can obviously tell they got lazy.

showtimefolks3024d ago (Edited 3024d ago )

IMO the story aspects became the worst. the universe mode isn't as good as the GM mode(imo)

commentary is really bad
enemy ai isn't good neither is hit detection

instead of putting effort into single player story all we have gotten are past glory moments. i mean we are basically watching replays of old matches

i am surprised we didn't get a true wwe vs wcw game

the one wwe game few years ago with wcw story line was good(i had fun with story mode atleast)

here comes the pain
shut your mouth
day of reckoning
no mercy

are some of the best wwe wrestling games

vanity293024d ago

all these years and no real ragdoll physics to make selling moves look different either. 2k15 and 16 have like halfassed ragdoll.

nevin13024d ago

It's funny how you mentioned modern games problem being story related.

But then mentioned

here comes the pain
shut your mouth
day of reckoning
no mercy

HCTP, SYM and No Mercy was cherished by its gameplay.

Its seems alot of people these days are more interested in stories in videogames then the actual game. Gameplay should be number 1.

roxette923024d ago

wwe 2k14 was the last great release gameplay wise. wwe 2k16 still has the annoying chain grappling.

showtimefolks3023d ago

nevin1

they could have a bad story but still a original story. these past wwe games have moments from past like 30 years of wrestlemania and attitude era

i rather just get original stories and that's just my personal opinion
