Kick out after kick out, scorpion death locks, sharpshooters, and finally a superplex on an exhausted Bret Hart for the 1-2-3. Sting stood tall as the new champion. Yeah it felt like a big match. It played like a big match. Great graphics, huge and impressive roster. Some minor glitches that need to be patched. Mangers play and act as they should. I retained the tag team gold with a well placed distraction. Just like on tv. And there are quite a few surprises for managers. I highly recommend getting the season pass or at the very least invest in the unlock everything feature. With such a huge roster and a wealth of options, this year's game should not be missed. It is no fire pro, but those games are different animals. And for anyone wishing for Aki controls, just stop. Those controls are old, they haven't aged well, and the are not missed. This game has great graphics, the gear looks amazing, the crowd sounds amazing, and the game feels real. The submission system will take time to get used too for some, and the reversal system is cool and add that much needed ring drama. Go forth and buy this game, create, and make your own wrestlemania moments.… Expand

   For years each and every WWE fan was hoping for a game which would allow them to replicate the tension , drama and moments that we see duringFor years each and every WWE fan was hoping for a game which would allow them to replicate the tension , drama and moments that we see during the real life matches on TV. Year after year Thq - followed by 2K went on frustrating the fans in one way or another by gifting us with Average or Above Average titles. The hope had been lost, The long time followers including myself was thinking "what is wrong? why isnt there a WWE game which could be as good as 'SMACKDOWN Here Comes The Pain' which was released around 10 years ago. It is during that time that 2K first announced the 2K16 title , and one of the first announcements was it had the largest roster in any game in the history of WWE. Well eventhough that caught my attention , afterwards i began to think that it would complete the makeover from 2k15 to 2k16 , just the 120+ would be the main feature , but 2K surprisingly went on announcing features after features and finally i had a feeling that this could be the title that takes a WWE game back into the elite category. After months and months of waiting yesterday i finally got my hands on it.
   In the very first match i played as Sting against the WHC Seth Rollins , as soon as the entrances began i realized it was looking much better than the previous title, There was a noticable difference from the graphics i saw in the pre build versions , The arena lighting effects were a delight to watch in the previous title and in 2K16 it has much more depth and detail. The hair , the textures, the details along with the reddish color that appears in the chest after several chops are a delight to the fans. I'd infact give 4/5 for graphics. Coming onto the animations - There are tons of new animations which helps the overall flow of the matches and every move feels much smoother rather than robotic and unrealistic. Well done 2K that in itself is a big big step forward . Commentary - well when everything else was overhauled there is one thing which hasnt undergone any sort of changes apart from the addition of JBL , that is the annoying Commentary , 2K really needs to look into it considering the future titles because the only thing that stands against the title getting appreciation in every department is the commentary , a regular WWE fan maybe able to live with it but never others. The entrances has no breaks between them which is a blessing , The music becomes louder than before , in the last title the commentary sound used to have more sound and it was irritating .Then coming onto the Big one - The Gameplay - first of all thanks 2k sports . This is the WWE game ive been waiting for , This is THE GAME which allows me to feel all the emotions of a proper WWE match . If the animations have helped to add smoothness and flow to the matches then the introduction of the new reversal system makes each and every player play with a particular plan in mind , a plan if executed wrongly can easily expose you for an onslaught from the opponent. You just simply cannot go on and on and beat up your opponents and reverse everything they throw at you, thanks to the reversal as well as the new stamina system. In My first match i could breath fresh air after a long time , Sting and Rollins going at each other creating a tension, a tension that was not seen on previous titles , a feeling that i could easily throw away this match with the slightest of mistakes that i make and i almost did , after the exchanges both rollins and sting earned a finisher waiting for the right time to execute them , then came my moment - rollins out of reversals in hit with with a scorpion death drop thinking it was done and dusted - but he kicks out for my disbelief , then he gets up - throws some attack at me some of which i succesfully evaded thanks to the stored reversals , then just like him i ran out of reversals and he had a finisher , in the nail bighting moments that followed i tried as much as i can to avoid his attacks (and regain atleast 1 reversal) by trying to throw some punches which was ineffective due to my lesser stamina and at last rollins had the upper hand and he went to execute the pedegree and for gods sake i had just 1 single reversal using which i countered to score another Scorpion Death Drop to pick my first ever win on my first ever match on WWE2K16 , Im pretty sure that WWE followers can read all the emotions from the above given lines. The new pin system is effective and tricky but i find it more comfortable to use than the previous titles (The superstars with Dirty pins can easily get on your nerves because of how difficult it becomes to kickout) , The new submission system requires time to master. After playing a few matches i understood has there was different strategies for the A.I in different matches especially notable in the Triple Threat or Fatal 4 way and 6 man matches because of the natural aspect that can be felt because of the improved A.I. I have so far not experienced a single frustrating moment while trying to do something (This was a big problem in the previous titles). Coming onto the showcase mode Austin 3:16 says "RAISE SOME HELL" - The best walk through the illustrious career of the rattle snake Stone Cold Steve Austin, Il speak more on the Showcase and my career mode , creations etc after sitting down playing it for some more time. So overall yes my friends, This is the WWE game we all have been waiting for. If you can get this game somehow - get it as soon as you can , because it will bring a smile on your face and i can guarantee you that.
   MY RATING - 8.75 out of 10 ! There are areas of improvements such as the crowd - the commentary etc, But overall i would place this game right up with Smack down Here comes the Pain especially because of the SOLID gameplay that it offers, This is a title that is going to be remembered for a long long time. THATS THE BOTTOM LINE BECAUSE STONE COLD SAID SO ! PS :- i really cant wait to play a multiplayer match of this game with some of my friends ! Thanks WWE , Thanks 2K ! ‪#‎RAISESOMEHELL‬… Expand

   I grew up playing Shut Your Mouth, Here Comes the Pain, etc. and haven't played for a while but I think this game is great.
   
   Gameplay- TheI grew up playing Shut Your Mouth, Here Comes the Pain, etc. and haven't played for a while but I think this game is great.
   
   Gameplay- The new reversal system helps shift the control throughout the match and stop the annoying constant reversals of before. Having a set amount of reversals creates an interesting dynamic between wrestlers because you need to decide whether to save them for specific moments or use them immediately. One of the problems I have is the slower paced compared to the other games. Moves feel like they take a lot of time to execute whether its a punch or grapple. The more prominent stamina system alleviates this issue for me since each move takes a lot of stamina when the match has gone on for a while. This makes each suplex feel important and you don't fire of 10 of 'em in a matter if seconds.
   
   Graphics- Everything looks great concerning the wrestlers but the crowds are still a mess. It's not that they are low poly people but that they just don't act like a normal crowd. They randomly wave and stand for no reason. If they really fix this issue and make the crowd feel more realistic it would help increase the immersion. Another element of the presentation that needs a little love is the commentary. If they improved these two aspects of the presentation it would be practically flawless.
   
   The 2K showcase was great even though some matches didn't feel important but everything was handled well. The create a superstar mode seemed great and so did the other modes.
   
   The game plays great and has plenty of modes to keep people busy. If they focus on some of the presentation aspects they could have an amazing experience. That being said, what is here is still great and worth a look for any fan of wrestling.… Expand

   WWE 2K16 is a huge improvement over last years instalment WWE 2K15, and improves in many many many ways! It improves greatly on its rosterWWE 2K16 is a huge improvement over last years instalment WWE 2K15, and improves in many many many ways! It improves greatly on its roster with over a 100 unique superstars, and beefs up and improves its creation suite and allows for much better customisation. It also improves on its game modes by adding back many match types that were missing last year and is much better for it. Lastly it makes a huge leap of an improvement on its MyCareer mode, by making it much harder, fleshed out and more enjoyable in every little way, it may not be perfect, but its a vast improvement.
   
   In summary, WWE 2K16 is a very big improvement over 2K15 and fixes all the problems with that game, and is the best wrestling to be released in many years.… Expand

   However we need to see more game modes for example burried alive match I would like to see and universe mode could see improvements with the way matches set. I don't want to see titus O'neil matched up against the Rock in a 1 on 1 match for no reason there has to be better match ups.
   
   But the main thing I want is more improvement in creation for characters which I think needs to see custom entrance music again since the default music they give you are bland and they could of at least let us use the soundtrack for the songs that were already in the game but i'd still rather see custom entrance music back… Expand

They are written by astro turfers for 2k that get paid to write good reviews. The game is a horrible, broken, glitchy mess. Characters will randomly start spazzing out, teleport around the ring, glitch into each other, etc. The computer ai is horrible and completely cheap on any difficulty setting. The graphics are also an embarassment for the current generation of consoles. It looks like an upscaled PS3 game. Don't waste your hard earned money on this game. Go rent it at Redbox and see that I speak the truth!… Expand
