    30 Years of Wrestlemania provides the strongest campaign backbone the series has had in a long time, the in-ring action is faster and more fluid than it's been in years, and thanks to WWE 2K14's continually expanding creation suite, we’re swimming in more options than we ever knew we wanted.

    With a fantastic roster and just greater polish overall, WWE 2K14 is a great addition into the WWE video game franchise and is a must own for any wrestling fan.

    With an incredible variety of things to see and do, WWE 2K14 provides dozens of hours of content that both wrestling veterans and newcomers alike will enjoy. It’s unfortunate that some of the series' previous niggles remain, but we’d like to think that these issues will be eradicated by the time that we get to grapple next year’s inevitable PlayStation 4 release.

    WWE 2K14 gets a lot right and its key drawbacks are at least a little bit overshadowed in the process. There is still a whole lot of room for gameplay improvement though, something one can hope will be addressed for the next release or even in part with some patching.

    This game's a lot of fun, with the 30 Years of Wrestlemania mode as the indisputable highlight. However, the controls aren't very precise, the camera can get quite frustrating and the visuals won't win any awards nowadays. It's good, but it could (and should) have been a lot better.

    Overall, the best way to play WWE 2K14 is the 30 Years of WrestleMania single-player mode on a moderate to low difficulty. This way, the opponent won’t counter you much, and you can lose yourself in the classic WWE footage and storylines.

    A poorly animated, unbalanced game that I didn’t enjoy at all. Although it does offer a lot of different punches, kicks and throws, its gameplay resembles a long, boring QTE. [13/2013, p.74]

    I'm a massive wrestling fan and I have been ever since I can remember so from a wrestling fans point of view, this game is everything youI'm a massive wrestling fan and I have been ever since I can remember so from a wrestling fans point of view, this game is everything you could possibly want! The roster is massive and it has something for everyone, from the likes of Hogan and Andre to Austin and The Rock, right up to guys like CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.The game itself is very similar to WWE'13, the people about this game clearly can't comprehend the fact that this is still a THQ game with the 2K logo plastered all over it, you cannot expect to see 2Ks input until next years title at the very least. However, the game modes such as WWE Universe and 30 Years of WrestleMania make this game very entertaining, with a lot of archive footage being used to tell the stories of each match. As for the creative side of things, I'd say this years game is the best ever, there have been numerous improvements to the CAW mode, players allowed to now use in-game wrestlers like Jericho and Punk as a template, Create-A-Finisher and Create-an-Arena are still as strong as they were in the previous titles so there's a lot to offer for those people that are into the creative side of things.

    Overall I'd say this game is great! I'd recommend it to anyone who is a hardcore wrestling fan or even someone who is just a casual fan, it's very entertaining and worth the £35 price tag.    … Expand

    I really enjoyed this game I feel more so when WWE 2K15 came out because that was so god awful I began playing 2K14 more often. Yes their areI really enjoyed this game I feel more so when WWE 2K15 came out because that was so god awful I began playing 2K14 more often. Yes their are a few minor bugs such as when I go to perform Old School with Undertaker his feet go through the ropes. The best part of this is The Streak I spent ages trying to defeat The Undertaker and got constantly annoyed until I finally did it.… Expand

    I bought this game nearly a year ago having not bought a single WWE wrestling game since Smackdown vs Raw 2008. I don't know why but I decidedI bought this game nearly a year ago having not bought a single WWE wrestling game since Smackdown vs Raw 2008. I don't know why but I decided to get back into it at the time.

    Graphics wise the game hardly improved, which was pathetic given the 6 year gap between them. Made me assume that there was a lot of rinse and repeat in this department between these years but I could easily be wrong. The gameplay wasn't all that impressive either, hardly any improvement since 2008 with the reverse button at times being awkward and I'm unsure whether the pin minigame was in previous titles but to me it didn't make sense to time it as much as mash it. You could get pinned, even if the zone is very big and easy to time the kick out within, after a single soft attack. One knock down which is soft and hypothetically you can get pinned because you can't time the kick-out, rather than mashing it? What the hell was this about? Just thought it didn't make sense in the slightest.

    What I will say though is that I thoroughly enjoyed 30 Years Of WrestleMania which summed WrestleMania in the past 3 decades well, without the matches being too time-consuming nor short. The information on the loading screen prior to the match, as well as the varied graphic representation within them - to represent each of these eras - really helped me grasp the context and importance of each of these pivotal matches in the history of the industry. I'm certainly not someone who experienced the Attitude Era - which must have been awesome and probably the best era - as I was far too young at the time.

    Multiplayer was good as always, online multiplayer was good and bad due to the poor connection within the servers.

    Defeat The Streak and Defend The Streak with Undertaker was also pretty fun too, albeit linear and formulaic but it got the job done regarding the reputation of The Phenom himself and it felt like a tribute for what the guy has done for the WWE/WWF.

    On the flip-side, WWE Universe had potential and in the end it was shambolic and almost pointless.

    All in all, not the best WWE game. I did hope for more of an improvement than this but there were highlights in this game which masked these problems partially at most.    … Expand
