    WWE All Stars



    So far, the roster includes:
    John Cena
    The Rock
    Andre the Giant
    Bret Hart
    Rey Mysterio
    Triple H
    John Morrison
    "Macho Man" Randy Savage
    Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat
    Big Show
    Kofi Kingston
    Sheamus
    The Million Dollar Man (GameStop Exclusive)
    Ted Dibiase (GameStop Exclusive)

    "Now, lots of games say crap like "easy to pick up but deep," but I'm happy to tell you that it looks like THQ isn't BSing us this time When I was just getting a feel for the controls, I was still pulling off fantastical stuff -- I made Rey Mysterio run up Andre the Giant's chest, leap to the top rope, and then fire off an attack. That's amazingly awesome to watch and satisfying to do. When I had built up a finisher, it was a simple pair of button presses to pull off and see Bret the Hitman Hart grab his opponent and throw him into the Sharpshooter for the KO.

    As I got the hang of that stuff, the strategy and depth of the game began to shine through. When someone's grabbing for you, you can reverse it with a button press and perform the grab on them. They can reverse it as well to get a chain going. When you knock guys down, they're going to get up pretty quickly to keep WWE All Stars frantic pace, but every other time you drop an opponent, they'll glow red letting you know that you can perform a move without the fear of them popping right back up.

    Layered on that base stuff are character classes. Big Men are slow but are hard to knock down, while Acrobats can connect from the top rope pretty much anywhere in the ring and run without draining their extreme signature move bar as quickly. Each class has its own pros and cons."

    People are saying it's the most fun they've had with a wrestling game since "No Mercy"? I may have to look into this one. I love WM2K and No Mercy. The games haven't been the same since.

    Definite not get for me. Never been a fan of the arcade version of WWE/WWF games.
