How it plays out?
For newcomers there are of course a tutorial, there all the blows and handles are easily explained. Since the control compared to its predecessor has changed slightly, the changes are displayed top right course. In addition, tips are still given, when to apply, for example, what impact. So you have learned the most important thing, of course, in less time and beats his opponent in the best case a pulp. The selection of different types Match and fighters is again succeeded in pretty much everyone should find his Star again. What is increasingly also crystallized in the fighting after some deal with the game, is the monotony of Fights. Often it is enough always apply the same impact, then one or the other cool finisher and that's it. This makes perhaps a few times in a row of fun, but a bit more variety could be.
Road to Wrestlemania
In this mode, you must select one of five fighters, available Undertaker, Christian, John Cena, Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho. You can play the stories of these five. Come on to matches, but also the backstage area is freely accessible, there you will meet other fighters, this can provoke before the fight or normal to talk to them. Not infrequently, it is already being used in the catacombs to a scuffle. The standing around objects can of course be used in this. The whole thing is very amusing, but acts partly not worked properly. So the area of backstage looks extremely boring and colorless. Here one has not been given in the implementation of much trouble. But the stories are all the more thrilling, every wrestling fan should merge the heart there. In addition, you can upgrade its fighter gradually. In addition worth mentioning is the WWE World mode. Here actually takes every fight affect your WWE World. Defeat her an enemy several times, he rises to your nemesis. But that's just one example. The mode has a lot to offer and fun. Of course you do not have to play each resulting in the calendar event, the simulation tuts.
Class presentation, but room for improvement.
One thing is certain: The presentation of the fights is great class. Huge halls, flashbulbs, grandiose gates of the fighters. These see their real likenesses incidentally partially confusingly similar. Graphically is WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 still not up to date. The aforementioned backstage area, as well as the ring or the fans, might look better. The other games have been done better. But the soundtrack is very fitting selected, especially relative rocking and hard numbers contribute to matching atmosphere.
Conclusion
One can simply say so: Fans of the predecessor are also in this year's version of their joy, others not before. While making the spectacular fights really fun, but at least tie me personally not long to the console. But too little variety in it. The many match types but purely teach fans exactly this. Customised fun is the Road to Wrestlemania mode, the stories are very entertaining and have been well worked out, as the world mode. The graphic is now no eye candy, but perfectly fine and adequate.
