WWE 2K14 Review
Come on, admit it, you were dying to get your hands on this title just a little like us!
As much as we were glued to the WWE while growing up as kids, we dumped it like that fat kid who doesn’t drink when we got older. Plus, there was this little thing about fixing. But all that WWE-bashing doesn’t take into account the splendid gaming experience this new title brings. THQ has revamped the game and made it more intuitive and interesting. The title has a breathtaking amount of content jam packed into it with 144 superstars past and present, stacks of match types and modes, and an amazing create mode. What really stands out though, is the ‘30 Years of Wrestlemania’ mode that takes players through every key match of every single Wrestlemania event — a fantastic enlightening trip down memory lane. Beginning with its in-ring action, we found that even after months away from wrestling games, we were able to execute every move without missing a beat. Punches and kicks are a tad faster tan the last one and most reversals now automatically lead to a move, making WWE 2K14 instantly more fun than the reversal fest that was WWE 13. WWE 2K14 has a fairly deep cast as well. The roster is loaded with current and past superstars, some with multiple styles from different eras like Triple H circa WrestleMania 18 and The Undertaker from WrestleMania 11, complete with his iconic purple gloves and striped tie. Turning away from 30 Years of WrestleMania, we found the rest of WWE 2K14 to be largely the same as WWE 13, with a few notable exceptions. The Creation Suite includes an option to create custom championship belts (yes!), though they don’t usually end up looking as shiny and pretty like the real-life belts in the game (no!). WWE 2K14 is well worth it for wrestling fans. The fluid gameplay along with the 30 Years Of WrestleMania mode gives you enough content that will keep you coming back to take out your would-be opponents both offline and online.
