    This year's WWE wrestling game appears in perfect shape, though it lacks real innovation. The latter however may well be due to having hit the Nintendo console's glass ceiling. If you own Smackdown vs. Raw 2011, you might as well skip it, otherwise: ring the bell!

    It goes without saying that WWE 12 is mainly for diehards who want an update on last year's title. While the gameplay hasn't changed enough for casual fans to update there are enough customisation options to keep fans of the squared circle busy until next year.

    A tasty protein shake for the target audience - a guilty pleasure for fans. [Christmas 2011, p.64]

    A good porting of the HD version, but there's nothing really new for the fans of the saga.

    There's fun to be had in WWE '12, but with each iteration of the franchise, it feels like bigger changes are needed for the series to stay relevant. [Dec 2011, p.81]

    Even on Wii, WWE '12 is incredibly rich in content, with two substantial game modes that will keep all the WWE fans of there entertained for weeks. However, the gameplay feels the same as ever and the graphics are very outdated.

My son loved WWE games, but I could never control the wrestlers in them until w12 came along. Controls are fine now. Graphics are good (by WII standards anyway) . All the wrestlers are there - and you can make your own too. Its our most played family game this year. Everyone plays it. 'Nuf said. The only downside is you cant use your own MP3 (or whatever) entrance music on the WII version. Brilliant game. Its pretty much perfect in my opinion.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. one of the best games in the series so far i think that us wii users are being held away from epic graphics as only the actual gameplay area is good if you look at the crowd you see that they look amazingly fake you see the things you can do you find only the required things thats why wwe games for the wii are so uncared for they are always the worst console to play the games on but that doesnt mean it sucks you can still have fun tons of it the updated universe mode with injuries new cutscenes and well... more you can still have tons of un then theres the road to wrestlemania you get to be sheamus and become champion of everything only to be defeated by triple h and lose the most loved prize the wwe championship then be triple h and be injured by the miz and his "mizfits" than retire after finally taking miz out than you are new superstar (who you choose the look of) Jacob Cass and in the end save raw so enough spoilers what about the plain old gameplay as i dont do much of it i cant say much but i can say its awesome but i noticed a difference in graphics between regular playing and road to wrestlemania road to wrestlemania seems to add 2 new shades of clear well although the graphics unfairness of consoles limited abilities of fun and etc. i still say its a beautiful game 8/10… Full Review »
