5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Wrestling Video Game In Recent Years!!!, March 29, 2011

Alright, let me get right to it.

The Good:

-The gameplay in this title is absolutely top-notch
-The graphics/animation style adds a unique and fresh flair to the game itself.
-The different type of modes available to be played are very entertaining and should keep one entertained for many many hours.
-The amount of superstars/legends available on the roster are absolutely incredible. Finally, they get it right with the addition of Ricky Steamboat and "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

The Bad:

-Controls. Now don't get me wrong, the controls are actually a lot better than they have been in other titles like Smackdown vs. Raw and Legends of Wrestlemania, however some of the moves are still a little bit tricky to "pull off." Yet with a bit of practice and timing, it will become easier.
-Sometimes the load times can be a bit repetitive. They aren't necessarily lengthy, its just you will endure several load times before being able to play an actual match.
-Now I know I mentioned this as one of the game's strengths, but it is also a weakness. The roster. Yes, the amount of wrestlers available is top-notch and very well put together, however there are some notable absences (that have been included in past games) like Ric Flair, The Iron Sheik, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Yokozuna, need I go on? I'm only mentioning this cause I know for some out there, this might be an issue. However as far as I'm concerned, both the quantity and quality if characters available is remarkable.

I haven't been able to play all of the modes yet (as the game just came out today), however I will edit my review once I do and breakdown each mode individually. However, as far as I can tell thus far, this video game is absolutely fantastic, and is definitely a BLAST!

Fun: 5/5
Graphics: 5/5
Sound: 4/5
Controls: 3/5
Replayablility: 5/5

Conclusion: Buy this game (or at the very least, rent it and give it a try)!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly deep combat, unsiprisngly shallow everything else, March 31, 2011

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: WWE All Stars (Video Game)
I'm an old school wrestling fan. I was pre-teen during Hulkamania and had lost touch with wrestling until the late 90's during the Rock/Stone Cold era. Since their retirement, I haven't watched much at all. WWF All Stars (it's always going to be WWF for me) reminded my of the arcade cabinets back in the late 80's and doesn't dissapoint in delivering and awesome arcade experience.

"Path of Champions" mode is a simple 10 match story mode with 3 different versions. In theory, you can play all three modes with one character and unlock 3 costumes (among other things). "Fantasy Warfare" challenges are awesome. Not so much for the matches, but the video mash ups that pit a legend against a current performer. Watching these videos, even if just for the nostalgia are really great. There is also online, that I haven't really got into and local multiplayer for up to 4 people that is very fun.

The graphics are cartoony, in fact better animated than the cartoon show back in the 80's. It's definately a comic book approach and it animates and runs flawlessly. This is a total arcade brawler with absurd moves and stunts. It's a great looking game for sure.

The mechanics are surprisingly deep, but easy to pick up. There are reversals and counter reversals that frankly, I could never pull off in other wrestling games, but are simpler here. There are two attack and two grapple buttons. Once you've grappled, you can hit any face button to perform a move. Super moves are easily executed (and blocked if timed poorly) and finishers are also simple to pull off (and also easily blocked). Button smashing will get things done, but there are a lot of moves that can be accomplished depending on your class type or postioning in the ring. It really feels like an arcade style fighter with wrestling characters, easy to play, difficult to master.

There are some negatives. There is no video library in extras to watch the videos you've unlocked in Fantasy Warfare, which is dissapointing. The create a wrestler feature is okay, but not great. There is no story or career mode, so even after you create a character, there's really no reason to use him except against friends or online opponents. And even then, you're just assigning a move set. There is no XP or points spent in different catagories. Just "brawler" with HHH's move set and the Rock's finisher. There are also a lot of recent WWF stars missing (due to contracts with other brands no doubt). It would have been nice to see Rick Flair in his prime, Kurt Angle, some of the ECW guys that have all drifted to TNA recently. Even still, the roster is awesome and the DLC character list is deep (hopefully not too expensive).

From a technical standpoint. Get ready for a lot of load times. When you boot up, the game "caches memory" for 3-5 minutes. You're then treated to a loading screen for another 1-2 minutes. If you back out from the main menu to the total screen, you inexplicably get the loading screen for 1-2 minutes again. On path of champions, it loads to start, you get a cut scene, loads again, you get ring entrances and loads again into the match. Terrible. An install option would have been nice to streamline some of that. Fortunately matches are 5+ minutes most of the time, so once you're in game, you play for a while.

There are a lot of characters that all have varying move sets (some are repeated) and it will take a bit of time to unlock everything. At the same time, like any fighter, unless you are going to play with friends and online a lot, the replay is limited. Even with those issues, it is still a terrific game if you're not a hardcore wrestling GAME fanatic and are just looking for a pick up and play brawler that takes you down Nostalgia Lane.

5.0 out of 5 stars Potential to be a great arcade style game, March 29, 2011
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: WWE All Stars (Video Game)
Gameplay is definatly more like Wrestlemania the Arcade Game, or Legends of Wrestlemania with a lot more gameplay, but the combo's, chain reversals, and graphics are awesome. The controls do take some getting used to, but having a lot of fun playing and should be a great game against other players. Lot less options compared to Smackdown vs Raw, but the matchups are a lot more exciting. Now there are a few superstars who make less sense, like Kofi and Drew in this game, however, look at how many mid carders are "legends" and you'll see they would fit right in. But then you take Rowdy Roddy Piper against Drew, that does make sense. The Create a Superstar is less detailed than Smackdown vs Raw, but some options were corny, so it's fine. I would say rent it before you buy it, because it may not appeal to everyone, but it is definatly more than just an arcade version of the game, you can kick out of pins, you can break up pins, and KO's from finishers make for some extra depth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game but they need to work out the kinks, May 28, 2010

This review is from: UFC Undisputed 2010 (Video Game)
UFC 2010 for ps3 has potential to be the greatest MMA game ever. The only reason I say it is not the greatest game yet is because there are several bugs. It is very hard to get a fight online and the career mode has some problems, including your stats decaying too quickly, fatigue not really playing as much of a factor as it should be, and opponents getting too tough too quickly. Some of the ufc fighters also need a little tweaking but as soon as the developers get a patch update out there, and I am confident they will, this will be the best MMA game ever. Despite these current problems, I also want to address its successes. The graphics are UNBELIEVABLE, every fighter looks completely real. And the realism doesn't stop there, every fighter in the game has fighting styles and abilities that are just like the real fighters. There are also all kinds of new features like the ability to make and play your own pay per view which is so fun if get some friends to play through it and the other gameplay modes that ensure you will never get bored of this game. So all in all, I would highly recommend this game if your a fan of the UFC although would recomend you wait until they get a solid patch update out there so you can enjoy it to its fullest.

This review is from: UFC Undisputed 2010 (Video Game)
I thought it was a great game, I found the career mode fun, however it gets increasingly difficult in the higher ranked fights. Just thought submissions were very challenging to get out of and usually my fighter is gassed by the 2nd escape even with top stamina...
overall good game,

3.0 out of 5 stars Great game, Impossible to Submit, January 28, 2011

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: UFC Undisputed 2010 (Video Game)
This is a great game, with visible damage to your character and your opponent, for instance, if you repeatedly kick your opponent in the ribs, his ribs will get red, then purple, and eventually look almost black from bruising, this also relates to how damaged the area is. If you repeatedly strike the rib area for example, you can break their ribs and get "daze" them so that you can land very powerful strikes to the head and body. You can even get a knock out if you do indeed break their ribs, and while they are dazed, strike them repeatedly in the ribs.

With all of that said, like almost all fighting games of this type, the grappeling and submission gameplay is not super great. It is IMPOSSIBLE to submit a CPU opponent. By impossible I mean, I had the game in begginner difficultly, had the opponents life bar in the far red, grappeled him, got into several dominant positions relitively easy, as I had nearly full green life bar, and every time I initiated a submission he would get out. I tried arm bar, Kamura, even a rear naked choke back mount top while I was full health, he nearly none. It is IMPOSSIBLE to submit CPU in this game, and yet it appears that the CPU can submit you at anytime they choose, no matter how better off your stamina and life bar is, no matter how fast or furious you spin the analog stick. It is the go to move when the computer decides you have won enough.

The Stand up and Ground and Pound are amazing and great fun, but don't bother trying to do anyting involving submission, you will fail.
