WWE 2K16 - PlayStation 4

Arguably the best WWE game ever. Nothing will ever compare to the nostalgia of NO MERCY but this is right up there. Great graphics (with the exception of the unusually large mouths on everyone), best gameplay in years and fantastic roster. I would have liked to see more of the Divas on there but with the community created players and future DLC's, I am sure they will make up for it. The only downside of the game I have is the new Submission system which is frustrating to say the least. I have been playing it non-stop for weeks now and it doesn't let up. Great created character gameplay and replay value is EXTREMELY high.

WWE 2K16 is by far the most improved wrestling video game this year compared to WWE 2K15. The graphics and wrestler appeals look very descriptive and are amazing. The controls could take time to adjust based on the new grappling feature in the game, moving away from fast paced action from early 2k games. A very big roster indeed. Sound is good overall. More commentary could have been more involved during the matches. Overall I give this game a 8.4 out of 10. Thanks Amazon for such great service on this product.

I was kinda worried if this game would be any good since my last wrestling favorite was WWF NO MERCY from the n64 era. But the jump from then to now was smooth.. All in all its a fun game and I'm glad I bought it. I read alot of reviews and apparently this year's game is on the right track to making them better. Also the showcase mode in this is quite nastallgic. I hope one day, current wrestling can top the..''Attitude era''.

I love the game to death. Love that Stone Cold is the cover athlete. It's fun playing his 2k Showcase Timeline. All the different match types are pretty cool. My only complaint is the submission system. I can't pull of a damn submission at all. Apart from that I think the game is amazing! Go buy it! I only wish they had a Special Referee game mode where you could be the referee and call DQ's.

I'll start by saying that I just put my 2k15 game in the drop box for trade in, so take what you can from that...I am happy with this game. I'm not going to call it a 'great' or 'classic', but it will work - especially compared to last year's offering. It's not going to rock your socks off, and it's not EA quality, but it will get the job done for WWE fans.PROS- They fixed the clothes rendering issue that rendered oh-so-many complaints last year. Clothes actually move like clothing now and not like some wetsuit stuck to their bodies (except in the case of Goldust and Stardust because that's what they wear).- Menus are much more streamlined. They made the Online feature totally separate, another issue that plagued last year's game.- A wide variety of match types are offered once again, and now you not only have the arenas/venues from current WWE, but from WWE/F past and WCW as well.- The superstar roster is super! Almost the entire main from current times, plus a ton of alumni and legends (dead and alive, WWE, WCW, and ECW). I should note Hulk Hogan is completely absent from this one though, since they weren't real fond of his latest blunder. You can always download him from the community, though!- Career mode has been completely revamped. None of it made any sense last year, and you had little influence over whether your superstar was face or heel. Now it has this great interview process where it lets you determine that based on the answers you select. Also, you can CHOOSE which title you want to go after, and what rivalries/alliances you want to be in. You can also meet the goals to enter the Hall of Fame, or meet supplemental goals set forth by the Authority to align with them, should you so choose. This is the BEST feature of this game in my opinion, and my favorite part.- Universe mode has been completely opened wide and lets you customize EVERYTHING. I mean everything. You can activate old titles, change whom has titles, make up your own titles, change superstar stats/characteristics/partnerships/rivals, attach/detach superstars from certain shows, activate retired alumni, completely re-arrange the show calendar, adjust every matchup/card, set where the shows can take place, and yes - even create your own arena.- Showcase mode is awesome. It isn't as selective as it was last year and lets you re-live the entire career of Stone Cold, as well as his former personas, and sidelines involved in those stories. Even cooler, they have the actual audio with Jim Ross and King (among others) from the actual matches you are playing.- Community feature I don't see much change, but it's still there for you to share creations which is a great feature shared from last year. It still has a 20-slot limit.- Presentation overall is much more noteworthy coming from a next-gen game. Last year looked like a former-gen on a next-gen. I believe it was 2K's main goal in this offering, and it shows.- They have limited the ridiculously overused reversals and grapples during play, which is very helpful and less annoying....and now, the bad stuff...CONS- Though the roster is a really great offering, it once again lacks current Superstar influence. Just like last year, it's like they took a snapshot of who was hot (and ignored who was not) around Wrestlemania time and rendered them characters, leaving up-and-comers left out in the cold. AND once again, they do not seem to be offering any roster updates to adjust. Hardly anyone from NXT is on this game (though I suspect they will release an NXT add-on like last year), and a lot of recent talent isn't either (current Divas champion Charlotte and partner Becky Lynch were among the highest exclusions I noted). There are also a few tag teams that have formed and/or reunited since this data was collected whom are also not shown as partners, or not in the game at all. This is why the community feature is so important. Take advantage of other people's work and share yours!- The controls are mostly the same as last year save for a few changes (that I don't like and would rather have the old ones back). Submissions are no longer tapping a button as fast as you can, but moving a stick in a circle as fast as you can. Ugh!!!!! Even though they have limited reversal use, they are still VERY hard to execute because they've added a "Good/Poor" feature to them. It gets frustrating until you get the hang of it.- Here it is, the BIGGEST complaint you will hear from everyone (which I agree with): 2K went the extra mile to make the presentation on this one worthy of next-gen systems. While that in itself is good intention, they overdid it. They have sacrificed some of the gameplay experience in-ring for presentation, for what I assume is to make it look more like what is seen on a TV broadcast of WWE. What that equates to is gameplay and player movement looks "clunky" at times, and characters seem more "clumsy", especially when they start to lose stamina. I've thrown a heck of a lot more missed punches in this one than I ever did in the last. You will also see a downed player "slide" to make a jump from the corner or ropes look more realistic when it really isn't. If he's closer to the left ringpost than the right, no superstar in real life would hit him from the furthest right ringpost. But in this game you can, because he will slide mid-move over to my player like magic. It's not incredibly obvious, but it is enough to annoy someone. Where this effect is at its worst: tag team or elimination matches. The more characters in the ring, the more confused the user's player becomes (targeting is terrible).If you can get past some of the bad, it is mostly a good game worth playing. I like it, I enjoy it, I live in it. Some want gameplay back, some like the presentation angle better. It's all about what you like and will tolerate. That being said, I STILL think this series should be handed off to EA. I keep hoping, every year...

The graphics wasnt ground breaking but if you have played the previous versions or love WWE, you should definitely buy it It has the unique characteristics of each person retained in a perfect sense. The game is entertaining and quite fun to play with friends than with an AI.

Ordered for my 14 year old son for a gift and received before estimated delivery date. Well packaged and I managed to snag it at a great discount. Had I purchased this at a retail store that starts with a W, I think most people know what store I'm referring to, I wld have paid an additional $20 plus. Definitely wld recommend to family and friends and will continue ordering games from here. Needless to say, my son was extremely happy with the game and none the wiser of the huge discount I received. lol
