I am not to sure how some people have rated this as poor? In fact that is quite insulting to the true aspect of this amazing game. If you are an avid wrestling fan such as myself then I urge you to purchase WWE 12. After owning every Wrestling game pretty much since WWF Warzone on the PS1 I have to say that this is the finest and most complete Wrestling game ever. Now where to start?GAMEPLAYThe game play is much different from what you have been used to on the previous Smackdown Vs Raw titles, the four coloured buttons are now used for various moves, jabs, grapple's etc, to pin some one you must do the damage first and an an indicator will flash up when your opponent is about to pin.The gameplay takes a little getting used to, just like the new Fifa 12 did with it's annoyingly awkward new tackling mode.VISUAL EFFECTSThe camera angle's are absolutley awesome, it starts when you walk out of the arena..the camera angle's are exactly what you would see on the television, it is exactly liked a televised Raw, Smackdown or PPV episode. For example the first shot is off the Titantron with the Raw visual and audio playing and the silent crowd waiting for the fireworks and then go nuts when they go off. Then your character appears with his music and titantron video..and the camera will swing in around him and then back to the crowd and then back to him as it would on TV. It even pops up at the bottom what City tonight's episdoe is at. The in ring action is exactly every single camera position you would get on the TV, so it's as if your watching Monday Night Raw.WWE UNIVERSE MODEThis allows you as such to become the Raw or Smackdown General Manager..or both...or basically your Vince McMahon if you like. Each week you control what fights happen in Raw, Smackdown and even Superstars not forgetting the monthly PPV's. The computer will pick at random preset match up's but you can edit them to your content, change what you want about the match, whether it's in a cage, extreme rules, tag team, tornado tag team, hell in a cell, triple threat..anything you want.. you can either play as any of the character's, watch or simulate the match. You can also control all the back stage action, so if you wanted to make your own perfect episode of Raw for example, you could by doing this. This mode really makes you become God, Judge and Jury of the WWE.CAREERCareer mode is pretty much straight forward, you wrestle controlling numerous wrestlers playing in different storylines, including your own created wrestler that has graduated from WWE NXT.WWE ROSTERThe roster is the best of any other WWE title. Everyone from CM Punk, right through to Heath Slater and Yoshi Tatsu. Other official wrestlers are available to download such as Brodus Clay. As you can imagine there are a large number of legends on the game, the usual suspects Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar, Ricky Steamboat, Edge etc, as well as the opportunity to download free fan created wrestlers, see below.CREATION & DOWNLOADINGThe creation suite is much better than before, a real Wrestling fans dream. You can re-create yourself or other to near perfect condition. As before you can edit everything from looks to clothes, entrance music (you can upload your own song), entrance and even your own Titantron video. You can now create your own arena's and what is probably most impressive is you can download other people's creation's whether it's a wrestler or an arena, and with that is the fact that there are people online who seem to of dedicated hours upon hours to creating past wrestlers, TNA wrestlers, the TNA arena, and lots more. If you remember an obscure wrestler from the 1990s you can probably download him for free, I have a lot of other fan made extra's that are quite frankly excellent. This add's to the already impressivley large WWE Roster.THE OUTCOMEThe outcome is THQ have made absolute Wrestling fans paradise with this title, enough fun to make a young lad burst his blood vessells. So many hours and hours of fun await any true wrestling fan who purchases this. The possibilities are endless!!!!

WWE 12 overall is the best wrestling game made in about 8 years, if you don't mind the glitches. I'll start with the positives. The gameplay is thoroughly improved; and WWE Universe mode is a lot less random. In Smackdown vs Raw 2011, WWE Universe mode wasn't very realistic e.g. main event wrestlers would appear on WWE Superstars. Create an Arena is an excellent addition as there are so many logos and customisation options to choose from.In my opinion, Road to Wrestlemania is a big dissappointment. Ironically, it suffers from the same problems WWE programming does. Everything is too storyline based and it becomes. Furthermore many of the best unlockables are found in RTWM so I had to drag myself through it to get the Nitro Arena and Eddie Guerrero and many more.

reading through the reviews for this game, its hard to disagree with the possitive or the negative reviews. Basically this game represnts exactly what wwe is all about, it looks good and is entertaining. But at its core it fake and repetative.Graphically you can not fault the game, it has all the moves and music that you would want. Where it faulters is in its game play, basically the designers came up with reversals as the way to make the game challenging, you use your right trigger to counter, if you do not get the timing right you will be hit by move after move, ending with you tearing your hair out. After a good few hours of play you learn to time your clicks,

"Bigger. Badder. Better." it sure is! This game is a much better one than WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2011, with the Universe Mode greatly enhanced. You can now customise every single aspect of the Universe mode; the matches, the shows themselves, the ring, the championships, the champions and even the rosters. The cutscenes that occur are not so repetative, and there is now a lot more on offer to further feuds and storylines.Best Parts:-The new predator technology graphic engine implimented into WWE 12 makes the wrestlers look a lot more realistic than last years game, the only upsetting part is that they have not got the licensing to have all of CM Punk's, the Best in the World,

This is the best WWE game yet, this has all of the characters you will need. Even Brock Lesnar is fun to play with. The graphic's are really graphics are really good, and very realistic. There are a couple of glitches.the way you unlock characters is very invented like Goldust is to win with Cody (i will not tell you anymore about how to unlock him) create an arena is great fun and so is creating a superstar. but sadly no new moves for create a finisher, and creating an entrance video is a lot of fun.universe is great because there are more cut scenes and there is a momentum bar, which is how well they are doing. For example if a superstar is losing to many matches then his momentum bar goes low and the ratings of superstars.

As the title suggests i gave this game 4 stars because of the gameplay while yes at times it does go smoothly there are times when it can get quite frustrating . The camera angles do take some getting used to but aren't that bad i am disappointed that theres only a small set of divas on the roster. I love the new create arena mode which is fun to do i'm surprised at the road to wrestlemania i thought you'd be able to pick which story you do but oh well and why is it so hard to break out a submission hold so early in the match overall a fun game with just one or two nit picks

Me and my partner are big WWE fans so I bought this game for him as a gift for his birthday. He absolutely loves it! Played it constantly for weeks (good way to shut him up!). He explained that it had so much more features and thing to do than previous WWE games, I can't comment as I've not played it. I'm not a fan of games like this, but if you like fighting games with a interesting story line to follow also then this games for you.

I'm a huge pro-wrestling fan, so you won't really hear me bad mouth something wrestling related. This game is no different, it's really enjoyable however my issue with it, is the demand to use xbox live to get the most out of the game, which really irks me. If you're already paying for the game and you already pay for an internet provider, then why should you have to pay an extra fee on top to get the most out of the game?

Alot of bad stuff is being said about this game but personally i thinks it great, Okay there is no tutorial but even a chimp could work these controls out within the 1st hour of play, The graphics are amazing and game play is also very good, the new added stuff on it a cool and the future dlc packs are defo gunna get bought.Definatly give it a go if your a fan of wrestling games...

I say unfortunately as my boys are addicted with it. I have seen better graphics but the ability to wrestle and do the moves and make your own wrestler have really hooked my boys. We didn't go for the more expensive version and I think that was the right move as they are enjoying the fun of the game and not missing the xtra bits from the more expensive version.

Although the game controls are dramatically different from SvR 2011 it's very easy to get used to, a very frustrating thing in the game is that before a match in universe mode it show the beginning of the show this is not a problem if it's the first match of the night, but if you come in at number 3 you have to wait a good 20 seconds to get to the match.

26.12.2011

i got this christmas and before hand i read alot of reviews and people didnt seem to rate it well. i was a little skeptical about playing but so glad i did, yes the controls are different but to me it makes the gameplay so much better, better graphics and better roster, it just feels way more realistic

25.12.2011

Wwe 12 it is better then the last one I like the online the new 40 man royal rumble . It is fun for people who watch WWE but I wouldn't recommend it for people who don't watch . It should be more then three star it should be 4. Star .

16.1.2012

This game i think is the best one yet! My boyfriend plays it hours on end pestering me for tag teams! Made a couple of gays on there....cody rhodes seems to hate them interfering with there matches! but yeah all and all a good game!

When I received the package it was the correct case with the incorrect CD (Splinter cell game)! I told the seller and they sent the game I asked for right away and told me to just keep splinter cell, was made up
