Well, you could do it if a large proportion of them weren’t locked away.Īs for the fighting itself, there’s no doubt the exaggerated suplexes, hurricanranas and slams are exciting to perform. You can play out dream matches like Andre the Giant versus Braun Strowman, see Asuka take on Beth Phoenix, or even pit Randy Orton against Jake “The Snake” Roberts. Long-time fans of the WWE will love the fact that a decent mixture of legends have been included alongside the current crop of talent. Putting that aside for the moment though, the roster needs some attention. Actually, it’s worth noting that many elements of the game feature button bashing mini-games in order to succeed. Countering moves is also a pain in the backside as they’re not set to a specific button, so essentially it’s a rapid race to press whichever one flashes up – not useful when you’re bashing the recovery button beforehand as it often carries over and leads to an incorrect input. On top of that, assigning moves to the analog stick and then incorporating a modifying button is a little counter-intuitive. I’d lost matches through a lack of knowing what to do due to how infrequent these ‘tips’ are displayed. A couple of instructions pop up once you actually start fighting, but strangely it took a few matches before showing the art of a punch combo. It’s like a flashy Powerpoint presentation, which isn’t all that easy to digest. The lack of a proper tutorial hinders a player’s introduction first and foremost, with a vast selection of screens to read through if you want to learn the ins and outs.
