    Plenty of content and refined controls make this title a definite buy for WWE fans. This is one of the most entertaining wrestle games around. It's easy to get lost in the WWE fantasy. Just keep in mind that you'll need to shell out more moolah for the online multiplayer if you get a used copy.

    As it is, this new installment still remains a must-have simply due to the Havok physics - it adds that much to the game that it's worth buying it just for crazy extreme rules and TLC matches.
  3. A very decent update of a game that's sadly years - no, generations - past its prime. [Jan 2011, p.81]

    It is so reprehensibly constructed and targeted directly at the lowest common denominator that fans and gamers alike should be insulted, as I was. The Universe, online, and creation features are compelling, but the foundation upon which they are built is so decrepit that it completely invalidates the meager value this game has to offer.

  1. Amazing, easily the best wrestling game ever. Tons of customisation, loads of DLC, good online, road to wrestlemania mode is entertaining, create-a-storyline is much better, and WWE Universe mode is compelling. I am very much enjoying this game and would recommend it to any WWE fan. Expand

    Awesome game, better than last year. An improvement on everything especially the fighting styles, the grounbreaking as ever with the series and a superb sountrack tops it off. Expand

    It is a decent game, however i have a few problems:

    You can only defend the main championships at WWE pay-per-views, Ezekiel's Jackson's fini
    sher is the basically the Book-End or King End and there is only one set of commentators in the game (jerry lawler and michael cole).
    Create a titantron has been taken out and it wasn't that good in svr 2010.

    Apart from them flaws, i think you should not hesitate in buying it. There is better online, lots of dlc and unlockables and awesome wrestling which is why we are buying it.

    This game is fun, but flawed. The new suped up weapon controls provide hours of crazy stunts, but the moveset control and stiffness really slows down the game. The WWE Universe mode is fantastic and provides endless fun and storylines which you can sink hours in to. The RTWM mode has some good storylines, but gets VERY boring and frustrating having to trump around backstage for ages, to the point where you just want to turn it off. The game features some glitches and is so unpolished, it's either crazy fun or very annoying, nowhere near as polished as it's predecessor. Not bad, overall. Expand
