I've had the game since Christmas and I have to say it's right up there with the best WWE games I have played.

I didn't enjoy the Road to Wrestlemania mode too much but the Universe mode is one of the best modes i've ever played on a wrestling game. Sure it has it's issues that we all know about like odd booking but the fact you can edit every match is great. I've probably spent more time on this mode than I have any other wrestling game i've ever played and I started out with WWF Royal Rumble on the SNES.

One of the best aspects of this game that keeps me coming back is the gameplay, the biggest problem for me in the past is that the games have been too easy but this is a step in the right direction. I still win the majority of my matches but a lot of them are close and I do lose some matches aswell which is a good thing.

In saying that I do have issues with the gameplay, mainly that the CPU is too hesitant at times, particularly after hitting a finisher. I also try and avoid weapons matches too much as the CPU doesn't seem quick enough to utilise them and can often make for easy wins.

I also don't like the fact that the CPU likes to stay in the ring too much, meaning for example that the Elimination Chamber is wasted as the CPU rarely if ever leaves the ring to utilise the chamber.

The only major negative I have is the bugs and glitches but I can get over those because of the overall quality of the gameplay and the Universe mode. Personally i'd say this is one the best wrestling games i've played and i've played most of them.

Smackdowb vs raw 1 and 2 are still tops unfortunately. Is there a way to get out.of the Hell in a Cell and fight at the top?

I am really sick of these servers. I have NEVER had problems like these with SvR servers. Leave it to THQ to screw something up.

Does the 360 version have the same problem downloading Caws like the ps3 does?

I'm addicted to Universe mode, finally THQ did something amazing and improved on it!

However they also screwed up the servers big time, I haven't been able to download anything yet!!!

I still feel the Road to WrestleMania mode needs improving. I read an article about it explaining the many flaws of it in WWE '12. I agree with the fact that there were only Triple Ha, Jacob Cass and Sheamus in the mode. I also agree that it was long and repetitive too!
