WWE All Stars

« WWE All Stars is one of the greatest wrestling games we've played in years, thanks to a gameplay system that's well balanced, a smorgasbord of wrestlers, a variety of options (again, Fantasy Warfare is a must) and a solid presentation. »

« WWE All Stars may not be the modern-day hardcore fan's dream game, but it comes pretty close to accomplishing that for casual and ex-fans, especially those who watched the Hulk and The Ultimate Warrior take each other on two decades ago. »

« WWE All-Star revels in its absurdness. By moving away from what pro-wrestling actually is -- slow, fake, melodramatic -- WWE All-Stars is closer to what we imagine wrestling to be -- fast, violent, an epic battle between two, three or even four men who unleash not one, but dozens of blows and acrobatics that defy mortality and take a folding chair to Isaac Newton's head. »

« WWE All-Stars is a highly-polished and tremendously fun game. »

« A great wrestling game that delivers a unique spin on a time-tested sport. »

« This game has more than surpassed my expectations after I dismissed it after watching those hokey gameplay trailers. I admit that I had fully written the game off as nonsense, and am now fully willing to receive my serving of crow for it. »

« The roster is a dream come true for most fans and the testosterone-fueled, simplistic and at the same time extremely exaggerated action makes this one easy to recommend to both the fans and non-fans alike, especially for those who have been looking for a more arcade-like experience. »

« If you were a wrestling fan at any point in your life then you need to have this game in your library. »

« I can see why other people like this game, but it’s just not for me. Everything moves way too quickly for me to keep up well, the controls are odd at best (and cheaper than the original NBA Jam at worst), and there isn’t that much to do other than just play matches and create people. Speaking of the creation suite, it’s the best part of this game, yet it still is very bad. If you only make original characters, then maybe you can do what you want to do and make someone who looks good. However, if you want to recreate actual people, you’re out of luck. There’s minimal clothing parts, the hairstyles aren’t very good, and the entrance creator is nearly nonexistent, with only a few generic motions and theme songs to choose from, though the entrances of the wrestlers in the game can be unlocked. The roster is paper thin, only featuring maybe 30 total men and 0 women. The campaign modes are both just playing matches, with nothing much in between. All in all, if you want an arcade-style WWE game, go for WWE 2K Battlegrounds. That game has a much bigger roster, smoother and less janky gameplay, and is overall a better experience. »

« This is one of the best WWE games of all time. With the arcade like mechanics and great moves compared to how 2K Battlegrounds turned out. Though 2K's WWE BattleGrounds was entertaining, it didn't have a much replay value like THQ's WWE All Stars was. »

« Ditching the simulation type gameplay known by the previous WWE games. This game takes an arcade style of gameplay instead. This game is a button masher requiring no skill which was the only way you could have made this game the right way. This is one of those games you'll pick up and play with friends and have some fun. »

« WWE All Stars A Shallow Arcade WWE all stars is an arade wrestling game featuring a5 different superstars and 15 different legends However there isn’t much here to do In my opinion wrestling games are the best when theyre at their most ridiculous, it’s the reason here comes the pain and shut your mouth are some of my favorite wrestling games of all time so I had a lot of hopes with the one.. The models look crazy.. the finishers are insane… But theres no ooprtunity to have fun here beyond an hr or 2 The best part of the game is the path of champions mode… There are 3 different story lines with 10 matches each, for the undertaker, randy orton, and dx, Complete with fully animated and fulyl voice acted cutscenes… Why are these not part of every wwe game? they were hilarious at times and saved this game from being just a mediocre arcade wrestling game… They gave the game some personality… and theres also a fantasy warfare mode that pits legend vs superstar in a dream match.. Such as the mz and mr perfect… sure they stretched a little for these dream matches.. but this mode uses every last character in the roster.. so ill let it slide… It’s a pretty cool mode with a well edited promo before each match… You pick a side and play it out… But the good of this game ends there…. Match modes are limited…. the only specialty matches here are exture rules and a steel cage… and neither of the 2 are interesting or fun… and this game features hands down the least intuitive control scheme in a wrestling game period… I get they wanted it to feel like a different game than the smackdown series.. the now 2k series… But that’s no excuse for THQ to not just straight up copy themselves or at the very least put the option there to use that perfect scheme they’ve had since the 90s I felt like I was bashing the shoulder pads more than the face buttons… the button to pin and run are right next to eachother… you can imagine how many annoying moments that creates.. as well as the button for checking under the mat and climbing back in the ring are the same…. Running and irish whip are the same button… I never got an irish whip.. the most common move for me in any other game other than by accident… It really ruined the gameplay experience as I felt I was button mashing rather than picking and choosing my attacks… Which brings me to the matches themselves.. This game is more about the ko than it is the pinfal… and you can only ko with a finisher… You can pin but the computer kciks out 90% of the time no matter how hurt you have them… And that’s if you can even get them to stay down… again this is more of an arcade fighter inside of a ring than it is your typical wrestling game… everything is fast paced and the match can turn on a dime… I like the concept of WWE Allstars, all the craziest superstars with over the top ridiculous moves… make them look crazy… make them fly through the air from the simplest things like punches…. It sounds like the perfect party game… But the unnecessary over complication of commands and lack of any fun modes hurt the game the most… Its an arcade game.. if there was any time to experiment with crazy match ideas.. this was it.. and you missed your opportuniuty… I give WWE All Stars A 6.5/10 »

« I got the game on realease day and was forgiving the first night I played the **** wrestling isn't that fun,the controls are bad and main stories are boring. »

« This game is simple, but it has amazing graphics, visuals, and enough moves for you to customize your character in the Moveset editor. If you are looking for something 50% fancy and 50% real, this game is perfect for you, specially if you like wrestling games. The only thing I dislike about this game is that most of the mods are the same and unlocking new characters is the same as playing exhibition mode. »

« this is like the 2nd best game i ever played. »

« WWE All-Stars is one of those games that really catches your eye, A different direction from the main series that comes out every year. All Stars takes 15 superstars and 15 legends and puts them into a cartoonish superhero world where the word "rulebook" has been Piledrived out the door. the controls are simplistic which makes it easier for WWE newcomers but a tad difficult for those who are used to playing the main series. The graphics are pretty good considering it's cartoonish look based on real people. The roster isn't that big considering we've been treated to about 70+ superstars in normal games. Also lack of match types is slightly dissapointing. The highlight though is the Fantasy Warfare mode where it'll put a superstar and a legend with something in common (e.g. Kofi Kingston and Ricky Steamboat) together and see who wins. Overall WWE All Stars is a must own game if your a Hardcore WWE fan or just a seasoned fighting fan. »
