That was the most fun I have had playing a WWE game since N64. Goh why not just open up another Xbox live account and get a free month trial? Check the demo out then delete the account.

Only works 3 times.

Oh thanks I wasn't aware.

I just read that Best Buy has the full game on display to play. Don't hold me to it as I haven't been to Best Buy to confirm.

Haven't played a wrestling game since N64, but I found the demo fun. I doubt I'd buy it at full price, but I might check it out later down the road.

Absolutely love the demo.
My soon to be 8-year-old son and I played 3 matches against one another. He was Rey Mysterio and I was the Ultimate Warrior.

The first thing I noticed was how easy and simplistic the controls were. By the 2nd match, and especially the 3rd, my son was able to pull off a lot of the moves with ease. (and he is NOT an experience gamer. He's played mostly Lego games and DS games so he's pretty much a 2-button player).

With only 2 buttons for strikes and 2 for holds, followed by any button for throws, anyone can play this game.
He also got the hang of climbing the ropes, going out of the ring, charging as well as the finishing moves.

I think he could have played that game all night. He requested this for his May birthday and I think we'll be buying it for him.
I like how the graphics are very cartoony and the violence is so over the top nobody can mistake it for reality. And there's no blood which is a big bonus.

I haven't played a wrestling game in probably 15 years so I'm not sure if this would pass with the hardcore crowd.

But for someone who lived at the arcade as kid and spent a small fortune on a wrestling game that featured Cocoa Savage, this game is right up my alley. And my sons.

THQ really got this right for people who want a fun, over-the-top experience, that almost anyone can pick up and play.

P.S. My son said he can't wait to play the full version so he can smash me over the head with a chair, hahaha.

Wow, that's a pretty big difference IMO.

Wow the PS3 version looks a lot more muted...crazy there's that big of a difference.

That is a huge difference. Wondering why at this point.

You guys are "getting it," and that's awesome. You understand what THQ San Diego was going with for this game, and never expected SvR with this game. I applaud all of you

If the experience you were going for is the one my son and I had, then you are BANG on with it.
I'm excited to get this for my son's b'day but I'm also geeked to play it too. Especially with my all-time favorite Macho Man Savage.

Great job guys. I just can't get over how simple the controls and gameplay are, and yet it feels like a deep experience with lots of layers of mayhem to enjoy.
You guys nailed it.

How often is this game going to cycle? I'm all for doing tweaks to make this the actual wrestling yearly game.

I hope that SVR 12 has this same control layout. I love face buttons for the grapples

the thing is, the majority of us here, never expected a SvR with this game bc we dont like what SvR is doing lol.. controls etc, no need to beat a dead horse!! lol..

playing this demo made me want to go out and get LOWM to just have and play here and there bc i did have fun with that.

hopefully you guys "get it". that fans want the over the top action, with big 90's arcade cartoonish characters, in depth move lists etc. just port the matches from SvR, add more legends and current guys for next years version!!

yes, i said next years version.. this better be a yearly game!!

Re: WWE All Stars Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Just a quick question for you guys. Has anyone figured out the timing for reversing signature and/or finishing moves? Finisher reversals I saw in a few videos on youtube.

After playing this demo so much I'd yet to either reverse a sig move, or see the cpu reverse one. So I figured you could reverse finishers, but not signature moves. I was a little disappointed, but then I do a 450 double axe-handle with Warrior (one of his sigs) and Rey reverses it into falling double kneed jawbreaker, which was so, so sick. I just cannot figure out for the life of me if you're supposed to time the reversal right when the sig/finisher animation starts, or when the move itself is released from that slow-mo camera and starts going again at real time.

Last but not least, not sure if you're supposed to press L1, R1, or both L1+R1 for reversing sigs and finishers. Would be really cool to finally be able to do it. Rey is constantly doing his angel wings splash and I've tried over and over to reverse it, but instead get squished.

Day 2 1/2 of this demo and I'm still loving it just as much. I cannot wait to play with the full roster. This game is crazy fun.

Re: WWE All Stars Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

I need to learn a bit more about the combos and whatnot, but a couple demo games was fun! I don't know about the depth at this point (will I play for a longer period of time?) but it was a fun arcade experience. Surprisingly good!

Re: WWE All Stars Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

based on the Demo, I preordered this one.

Online will give this the legs it needs.
Oh and being able to pay as Piper.

I would have liked to see Cowboy Bob in there, why he's not in the game when they have a bunch of the father/son combos is beyond me.

ah well.

i am pumped to get my 80's/90's arcade gami9g on!!

Is the Warrior 275lbs in real life? I like the way the game plays and the moves look great too. It is fun to have a game that just is about kicking *** and not what looks real.
