    As a complete package, WWE 13 may be the best wrestling game on the market in years. Although the storyline mode caters to a bygone era, there are still plenty of modern wrestlers to choose from, and match types aimed at current WWE fans. Though the Wii version lacks the downloadable content and online play of its HD counterparts, it still feels like a solid update.

    Crams in as much as possible and pushes the Wii to its limits. A fitting swansong for Wii wrestling. [Christmas 2012, p.104]

    WWE '13 comes across as too ambitious for its own good. [Nov 2012, p.84]

    WWE '13 is basically the same game Yuke's delivers each and every year on Wii. A few minor changes aren't enough to justify the purchase.

    Despite the bad graphics, it doesn't take away from how good the game is, even for the Wii

    The current user score is about right, the roster variety is really good and the attitude era mode if fun AND the character customizer is notThe current user score is about right, the roster variety is really good and the attitude era mode if fun AND the character customizer is not bad, but Jesus this game is so glitchy. Sometimes the crowd noise randomly turns off in the middle of a match, and sometimes the entrance music of the superstars won't play anywhere from 1 to 10+ matches in a row. Also, multiple times the game has frozen and made me unplug my Wii, and often the characters themselves freeze in the middle of a move and force you to restart the match. The running animation on the entrance of a Royal Rumble is hilariously pathetic as well, it gives me a good laugh every time. But overlooking all these glitches and what not, the game is very enjoyable, I didn't really have any problems with the controls unlike other people I see reviewing this game.

This is the kind of experience you can expect with this game. Full Review »
