    WWE '13 is a step from WWE '12 by alot of things, it's a great game and isn't bad at all, BUT the game feels unfinished due to the MAJOR amount of glitches and bugs. Here is a list of bugs/glitches you may see during this game:
    1. Freezes during WWE Draft Matches
    2. Extremely long loading screens once every few weeks (Universe Weeks) 3. Slow internet while trying to download and or look    WWE '13 is a step from WWE '12 by alot of things, it's a great game and isn't bad at all, BUT the game feels unfinished due to the MAJOR amount of glitches and bugs.

    3. Slow internet while trying to download and or look for Created Wrestlers
    4. Deletion of SOME data if you don't exit your game before ejecting the disc
    5. "Dead superstar" after a few moves
    6. The insanely annoying 1 count glitch (e.g. I hit Ryder with 3 finishers and put him through 2 tables and he kicked out at 1)
    7. Etc. That i can't remember.    … Expand

    The attitude era mode is a lot of fun bit this game still has the same issues it's had for all these years. The universe mode improved a bit but is still full of bugs. The best mode in this series in years, the GM mode, is still gone.

    I have played alot of wwe games in my life but none of them were as DISSAPOINTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as WWE 13 was.

    The wwe universe in this game was so badly done, riverlies would only begin between popular superstars than anyone fighting anyone so you dont see small superstars rise to the top, and if you created a show it would have such a long loading screen that you wont even bother    I have played alot of wwe games in my life but none of them were as DISSAPOINTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as WWE 13 was.

    The wwe universe in this game was so badly done, riverlies would only begin between popular superstars than anyone fighting anyone so you dont see small superstars rise to the top, and if you created a show it would have such a long loading screen that you wont even bother going ahead with it. Another problem with universe was the no 1 contender list, if you want a certain superstar to go up the ranks a bit you can but it then leads to the smallest ranked superstar to becoming no one contender and its really frustrating.
    WWE 13 Universe 3/10

    Next comes the Attitude Era mode where where you relive old Attitude Era moments in WWE. I found the steve austin the most fun while the rest were meh. Attitude Era Mode 6/10

    Finally is the Online mode which I found the most fun out of the game. Making other players say I Quit, Screwing them over in special refarie matches and putting them threw a barracade was awesome. My only wish was that the online mode had the mid-highlight reel like in ofline to capture these moments. WWE 13 Online 9/10

    WWE 13 is not the worst game of 2012 but it does need major improvements.

    3 + 6 + 9 = 18 divide by 3 would give you an average score of 6/10 for WWE 13.    … Expand

    Thq's last WWE game. Almost the same as 2k14. Of course, the showcase is one of the best. And That's the Bottom Line Cos' Stone Cold Said So.

    I would say it's good but sadly i have high hopes for WWE games beacuse of older titles. And this game doesn't come close to a perfect or even great WWE game

    The Attitude Era mode it's great, it's a shame that important characters in that time like The Dudley Boys or The Hardy Boyz aren't in the game. also the game just ignore 1999 and 2000 when those years where peak Attitude Era. Gameplay it's a little bit slow but still a decent WWE game.

    A tough game to judge as a newcomer. I can see all the potential in the game, but trying to work out the control system was more complex than my college physics class. It's worth checking out just for the fantastic presentation though.

    A well-made fighting game with enough content to keep the disc spinning in your PS3 for months to come. Lackluster AI and wooden animations, however, keep WWE '13 from getting more praise.

    Take those Legends of Wrestlemania or other attempts at wrestling nostalgia and throw them away because WWE 13 is all you need "and that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so."
