Summary
Wrestling is an entertainment sport. You know it’s all fake slaps and flamboyant dramatics, but you love it anyway because let’s face it, seeing larger-than-life blokes pretend to pummel the heck out of each other is just so much fun to watch. It’s debatable whether the same could be said for the WWE games in recent years, with THQ heading towards realism with each Smackdown release.
If you feel that the video games have indeed started taking themselves too seriously, then WWE All Stars is exactly the tonic you need. Chucking together a collection of burly lycra-wearing supermen from the present and yesteryear, All Stars guns for a more accessible arcade-style experience, rather than complete simulation. Gone is most of the complexity of Smackdown and in comes disproportionate, cartoon-esque superstars, slamming each other onto the canvas with the force of a nuclear weapon.
The controls are simple, but sophisticated - you’ll be able to pull off all kinds of finishers, grapples and clothesline hooks with minimal effort, and the results on screen will be electrifying. Choose from a large selection of game modes, including classic four-player rumbles to cage matches, and get your friends involved for some true multiplayer madness!
