WWE All Stars Review (PlanetXbox360)

There are two kinds of wrestling games – the ones that take themselves super-seriously (like the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw games) and the ones that “let loose” and try something different, like the old-school Midway release WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game and the Nintendo 64 grapplers. It seems we haven’t had a release that leans towards the arcade motif in quite some time – which is what makes WWE All Stars so welcome as it arrives this week.

Hoping this is like the N64 WWE game, that was so much fun!

Balt 5142d ago (Edited 5142d ago )

It's alright -- better than I thought it'd be, but it's missing so much that these reviews aren't touching upon yet. I'd hate to see it go the smackdown route, but there does need to be a tad bit more depth. And loads more features. It's awesome and I'm enjoying it (for a wrestling game), but there just isn't a whole lot here when all is said and done.

Tag matches
CAW sucks goat teets
Presentation is lacking
The roster, while good is lacking many wrestlers who should be in. Less MiZ and more classics

Also, I wish they would've had classic Kane. Original Kane's suit is missing. So is the undertakers original outfit.

UltimaEnder5142d ago

I agree with you on the Tag and Presentation but personally it's the most fun I've had with a WWE game in a long time; plus it's going for a more broad audience than the other sim-style WWE games...

CobraKai5142d ago

DLC for the alternate Kane and Taker suits maybe? Is it true you can't customize the moves set for CAW?

I went from thinking this was the dumbest thing to hit the market to thinking this is the most fun I've had with a wrestling game since Here Comes the Pain.

I'll be picking this up tomorrow.. kinda suprised at the 9 score. I figured this game would be a solid 7, but I'm a WWE fan, so I was getting it either way.

Kon5142d ago

It is just me that noticed or the wrestlers have WAY too much muscles in this game?

MrBeatdown5142d ago

They are supposed to look like that. It's to go along with the over the top style.

I played a ton of smackdown 1+2 on PSX

AceRimmer3021060d ago

WCW/NWO World Tour and Wrestlemania 2000 were peak wrestling games. Back when wrestling was at the top of pop culture, everyone in school would watch. The gameplay is phenomenal and create your own characters opened up the door to WCW vs WWF. What a time!

nevin11060d ago

WCW/ NWO Revenge and Here Comes The Pain were haven't been beaten.

I was always partial to the arcade wrestling games like Saturday night slam masters, wwf superstars, wrestlefest, wrestlemania, wrestle war and then a NES classic... pro wrestling. By the time the N64 era of wrestling games happened, I wasnt into wrestling much anymore (tv & games).

jjb19811191d ago

It was all about the Starman Somersault or the Tiger Claw!

Fist4achin1191d ago

Starman was awesome. I also remember a tan dude with bright yellow hair. Good times!

gurp1192d ago

Smackdown 1+2 on PSX
A lot of hours went into those two games

jbrock111192d ago (Edited 1192d ago )

Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 & 2 > Most games on that list.

Also, WCW/NWO Revenge should be #2 minimum.
