WWE '12 Review (360/PS3)

[JerseySuave4]

my brother bought this game so i got a chance to get my hands on it and had some fun with it but i just can't bring myself to spend $60 on it. My issue is that i don't think i'll play it enough and it'll be one of those game i pull out every now and then so i'm gonna try to find it cheaper online or wait for a price drop.

I do have a few games to trade in, so I could get it for well less than the $60 price tag, and who knows, perhaps I'll find the CPU to be harder than past years' games? Universe Mode does sound improved from last year, and I'm happy to hear that.

From someone who have been frustrated with the AI in the last 6 WWE games.

WWE '12 is much better in that department and this is the best Nex-Gen wrestling game (which isnt saying much tbh)

AI vs AI matches are still bad but playing against the AI is enjoyable. Yes there are still some things in the gameplay department and AI that needs work but this game is better than SvR '11,'10 and '09 combined.

Juke,
I definitely respect your opinion when it comes to wrestling games (and wrestling in general), so thanks for the reply. If you have good things to say about the game, that is a good sign.

Phil: good job on the review. Easy to follow and you touched on all the main areas of concern, which I appreciated.

Online isnt a mess. It's not available. Online play is why thousands of people bought this game.

My brother likes it but he still thinks it is behind the Day of Reckoning titles we enjoyed on Gamecube. It is sad that this generation has really not grown much in most series except NBA 2K. He even thinks the graphics are no better than those of Day of Reckoning 2 for Gamecube. Sad, that we let series get away with weak updates for 5 years + now.
