WWE All Stars

Looks interesting as a fighting game, might be a bit over the top but Savage/Hogan/Warrior in the same game? yessir

Roster looks cool, but I can't get my head around the engine of TNA impact, which I hated.

[JaoSming]

the animation looks really smooth like Impact's but I wouldn't compare the gameplay

[Andrew]

I'm still on the fence with this one, partly because Legends of Wrestlemania didn't quite live up to the hype and I could see this one ending up similar. I reckon I'll keep an eye on it though, it does look like it could be fun.

havent watched wrestling since 8th grade and this game intrigued me a bit with the presence of some of my faves from the WCW days. But as Andrew said, legends wasnt great: way too button masher for me (i mean specials were like QTEs..im not ok with that). This would probably be a rent. As cool an idea as it is too, im sad by the roster being what appears to be small. Also weird to me seeing Big Show and Rey Mysterio as "current stars" since they were "stars" when i stopped watching.

[Andrew]

I could see where they were coming from with Legends of Wrestlemania, going for a full-on retro experience right down to the controls. In practice it didn't work out so well, to the point where I wouldn't have minded if they'd just re-used the engine/controls from Smackdown vs RAW, along with the "action figure" style models, retro arenas and so on.

this game is like the NBA Jam of Wrestling. looks kinda fun to me. and the joystick is also not bad:

interesting to see perpetual mid-carder kofi mixing it up with legends

[Andrew]

He does stand out somewhat compared to the other wrestlers featured on the cover.

Demo's out today, downloading at the moment.

[Oznogrd]

played it a bit...took me forever top warrior with mysterio lol

[[Q]]

only two wrestlers in the demo?

[buzzy]

yep

[Andrew]

Downloading the demo now. I still don't know about this one but I'll see what I make of the demo, it might be one I pick up later rather than on release day.

[JaoSming]

looked promising and fun, but the AI felt kinda cheap to me

ill bargain bin it, till then, Ill stick with 2011 CAWs and LOWM

[Andrew]

After playing the demo, I'm with Jon. It's a fun concept and all, but if I do end up picking it up I'll wait until it's on sale.

[Oznogrd]

Counters, counters everywhere. I got into like a 19 counter combo earlier.

This wont be more than a rent for me
