It’s a little simple when put next to the likes of Fire Pro Wrestling and there’s a distinct lack of depth apparent after a few matches. As with previous entries, the moves themselves are executed with the press of a button for a fast, weaker attack or with a held button for a hard attack or grapple that dishes more damage but might take a bit longer and be a little easier to reverse. In terms of animation, when things work they’re very smooth and incredibly life like, but it doesn’t take much more than awkward positioning to get wrestlers to teleport, get tangled in ropes or contort in some inhuman manner. Controlling the wrestlers is as it has been for a few years now, which is to say less than ideal. One downside of being the fifth game in the current generation is that the developers have seemingly decided that what’s just good enough needn’t be meddled with. From TLC’s to Hell in the Cell and right through to the basics you’d expect like tag matches and battle royal’s, it’s all available and very easy to get straight into, either alone or with whoever is with you in the room, provided you’ve got extra controllers of course. That means that if you can think up a match variation, superstar or customization option from the last couple of entries to the series, you’re going to be able to do that here too.
WWE 2K19 is the fifth entry to hit current generation consoles and as a result benefits greatly from the refinement and improvements brought year on year to the franchise, with just about every mode and option available in previous years also available here. This year’s attempt to wrest hard earned cash from your pocket has arrived and, as usual, the question of whether it’s the people’s champ or just an easily ignored jabroni is at hand.

Beyond that though, in minds where sport and entertainment combine to become something altogether different, others dream of high flying athleticism, improvised violence and the kind of story telling most tv soap writers would roll eyes at.įor those seeking explosive personalities, stunning spectacle and occasionally excessive pageantry, there are few grander stages than those hauled from city to city and put up by the WWE. Some dream of balls in nets or of glory as a team manager, others of field goals or speeding pucks. As a complete package, WWE 2K19 is offering a lot of content with a decent amount of polish and effort put into elevating the story mode after lackluster outings in recent years, but there’s little that’s changed at the core.Ĭan you feel the electricity? It’s that time of year where yearly franchises arrive to drain the bank balances of dedicated fans and hopefully give them a virtual taste of whatever grand stage they dream of standing on.
