    I love the original TQH games on the N64 and thought this would be as good. My main issue with this game is the controls, specifically the use of the touch screen. You use the touch screen to do context sensitive actions like pin, climb in/out of the ring, climb the turnbuckle, etc. You also need to click on the lower screen to target another wrestler.

My main issue with this game is the controls, specifically the use of the touch screen. You use the touch screen to do context sensitive actions like pin, climb in/out of the ring, climb the turnbuckle, etc. You also need to click on the lower screen to target another wrestler. It's a pain and causes you to have to look down at the other screen and remove your right hand from the "home" position. Very clunky for what's supposed to be a reflex-sensitive action game. Another issue is that block/counter is mapped to the directional pad's up button. Again, very clunky and causes the left hand to need to be moved from "home." So while you're trying to counter attacks and target the guy running up behind you, your hands are juggling positions and your eyes are darting back and forth between two screens. All this could be fixed if you were allowed to remap the controls, but you can't. It's ridiculous. Nintendo really needs to dump the concept of alternative controls and accept that sony and xbox have set the standard as to what a controller should look and feel like. If I wanted to tap screens I'd reach for my phone. It's terrible that a company that used to be the king of play control has gone on a decade long attack against normal human interfaces. It's not happening. Give it up. Please. Another issue with this game is the loading times. Way too long. Anyone leaving the intros on is just a masochist. Too many problems to recommend. I actually prefer the N64 versions better. Load instantly and the controls were from a time when Nintendo only just began to lose their mind. Eat crow. Copy the sony controller.… Expand

    Still one of the better wrestling games of recent times. [Jan 2012, p.116]

    More content than the other versions, but at the hefty price of polish and reliability. [Feb 2012, p.97]

    While WWE All Stars is certainly not perfect, it's probably one of the best handheld wrestling games available on a Nintendo platform.
