    WWE 2K15 makes its debut in the next gen with a notable game. Controls have been fully redesigned in order to offer the best gameplay mechanics, and its visuals are mainly what you would expect.

    It´s not a perfect game, but it won't disappoint any wrestling fan, thanks to a great variety of options and game modes. It´s a good first attempt for the next generation consoles.

    2K builds a solid foundation for the franchise, with an outstanding amount of content and very solid gameplay. Also, visuals have evolved quite a lot, but animations haven't quite so much.

    Overall, if you want to get the full experience you will need the season pass. That is your shortcut to unlocking everything, and any future DLC. Commentary is just a bad as ever, Michael Cole doesn’t sound right in NXT. The new additions were ambitious, if poorly executed.

    If not perfect, this iteration of the classic WWE franchise on the new consoles is good enough for both newcomers and long time fans of the series.

    WWE 2K15 is a good debut in this new generation, with accessible and fun gameplay, some interesting modes and improved visuals, but it is still below 2K14 in roster, creation options and modes.

    The series finally moved forward and stopped looking like a relict. WWE 2K15 is not overflowing with changes, but they are there and are most welcome. [01/2015, p.79]

    WWE 2K15's debut on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is good but not perfect: the gameplay is a highly fun simulation experience, but the game doesn't have all the feature depth of past games in the series. It is, however, a good template to build upon for future instalments.

    Like a new wrestler getting a push, the fans will determine if 2K’s series succeeds or fails. [January 2015, p86]

    In their rush to say "look, we're next-gen now!" the developers seem to have forgotten to include the game along with the graphics. Like inIn their rush to say "look, we're next-gen now!" the developers seem to have forgotten to include the game along with the graphics. Like in the 360 and PS3 versions, the creation suite has been destroyed, with most of the custom animations gone along with custom stories, finishers, and even music. Somehow the current gen version has managed to go one step forward and not only remove that but also custom arenas, belts, and female CAWs. But at least the last-gen versions have matches in them. There are over forty match types that were present in 2K14 but are missing in 2K15. There have been more match types REMOVED than actually exist in the game. There's a reason this game was review embargoed. Full Review »

Think of this game asThis is a new game that they built on a new engine from the ground up. I expected that a lot of things would be cut out. Think of this game as the foundation of WWE games on the new consoles. The game play itself in this game is miles ahead of 2K14 and 2K15 on last gen consoles. You can feel the heavier hits, the more realistic pace, and watch the stamina system really take control of a match. Matches closer represent what you would see on Monday Night Raw due to the stamina and slow, not arcade like, pace. The showcase mode gets the job done, it focuses on two of the best rivalries in WWE history, and is objective based so I can unlock things, great. My career is pretty good now, but it will only receive more work and polish as this is the foundation for the future. This came accomplished way more than I wanted it to... remember SVR 2008: At least it's not that bad. Expect that now that the engine is done, for them to do a slight graphical update for 2K16, but really focus on creation, universe, and my career. Now that WWE 2K15 has made an awesome foundation, expect 2K16 to be the game of the ages. Full Review »
