    The entire game feels lifeless and old. The presentation fails to capture the excitement of the real thing. The gameplay doesn't match the product it's attempting to emulate. And the layers upon layers of plain-looking menus feel like they were ripped out of a PlayStation 2 launch game.

    Quite possibly the worst WWE game ever. Combat sucks, RTWM is garbage and the game is very barebones in game modes.
