WWE 2K18 (PS4)

I bought this game for xmas and i must say that i am very impressed! I skipped last year based upon reviews and was looking forward to playing a wrestling game again this year.The first thing i noticed was that the graphics are the best i have seen in any wrestling game, the characters are so life like its unreal, the actual gameplay is solid! Matches feel like a joy to play, i myself have played numerous matches in exhibition and they are very good, the addotion of backstage brawls is another plus. In terms of modes it is limited with career seemingly the same as previous years, universe mode however looks to be fun to me anyhow as it is cool to be the 'gm' of the company. Where the game really shines is the creation suite! Wrestlers look amazing and there is just so much additions you can add to them, create an arena is amazing also i have spent a ridiculous amount of time creating a custom 'wcw impact' arena that was real fun to make. This game ticks all the boxes for me and if you are a wrestling fan i would advise you to buy this.

This game has a lot going for it- a massive roster, great graphics, loads of customisation options and match types. But where it really disappoints is the lack of long term appeal. The career mode may have added backstage free roaming and a storyline, but the story isn't very good and there's not much to do backstage really. There are also bugs in the mode which make it a frustrating experience and some of the win conditions are very difficult and not always clearly explained. Sometimes as well, months go by with nothing but generic random matches taking place and also there are far too many run ins and pointless promos. The universe mode is exactly like it was last year- the ranking system makes no sense, cutscenes are repetitive and rivalries just feature the same old thing every week. If these two game modes had any kind of long term appeal it would be so much better. It's better than 2k17, but not by much. Probably won't bother with next year's game though.

This is great fun. I play it with my kids every weekend and it ends up with loads of laughing. A great selection of characters and great options too. Bought for my sons 12th birthday

We bought this as a surprise for our son and he loves it. The graphics are good, and you can progress well through the game. Fast delivery as usual

The game is graphically much better than 2k17 and difficulty on legend mode is slightly harder. The crowd is more detailed although I still think there is more room for improvement........however the crowd chanting is more realistic based on certain shows e.g. NXT crowd sounds different to raw. I was slightly disappointed the inclusion of "Punjabi prison" and "Ambulance match" were not included in the game.........However backstage brawl areas are much bigger than 2k17. Overall I'm pleased with the general direction of the game and look forward to next years release of 2k19.

3.5 stars if i were able. While this is still a good game, it suffers from poor facial expressions and a few buggy problems. Patches needed to improve it's quality

Good fun for the kids. Game itself is pretty hard to control on the PS4

As always WWE2K lives up to it’s reputation of fantastic gaming quality. WWE2K18 is no exception. I would highly recommend this game to all WWE enthusiastics.
