Polizzi, the game doesn't have season mode / Road to Wrestlemania; the main story plays off as a timeline and is named "Attitude Era", so yeah, it's pretty old school. As WWE cater to a younger generation these days, the developers wanted to give them an insight into what the hype was all about in the industry, such as the Monday Night Wars and the importance of wrestlers such as Bret Hart, The Rock, Stone Cold amongst others - who kids aren't really in tune with today - over Cena, Orton and Punk, the latter being a key influence for this title. The developers even enlisted the help of Paul Heyman, chairman of ECW lol.Quote:

I felt he was a crucial person missing from the game and the guy who made him didn't do too much of a shoddy job, although there was still a little bit of editing required, the overpowered stats being one.
Official DLCs tend to be released in bunches but thankfully you can purchase each character individually, and doing so will unlock their respective entrances and movesets.
This was my first time playing a wrestling game online, too. There was noticeable lag for me but I got used to it after a couple of minutes.
Gimme a hell yeah! :wacko:Quote:

The way you pull off moves is even more varied than the last time I played (SvR10) and the modes I haven't taken them all in yet. The Attitude Era mode features reenactments, commentary and clips from the actual shows and was nice to watch. I felt like I was playing a different game at the time, there's quite a difference in the transition from the old dusty-looking arenas to the HD set-ups and current stars they have today.
Here's what the character select screen looks like:

DLC have their own section and the women come under the "Divas" box and include the likes of Trish Stratus, the short-lived Kharma / Awesome Kong, 2 Litas, and Stephanie McMahon amongst others.
The definite roster can be viewed here. I can name but a few that are missing in my books, however, they can just be created or downloaded as I mentioned before.
So yeah, Polizzi and Cosmic, you should get this shit. It's so easy to spend 40 minutes on a match that could have ended after 5, but you were to busy using different ways to dismantle your opponent. :wacko:
I'd say WWE 14 has a lot of living up to do because the games have a reputation of decreasing in quality the next installment up before they improve again. Plus, we'll see where they go now that THQ are bankrupt. :nosweat:
