The Ultimate Warrior is nuts. We don’t mean Jim Hellwig, the man behind the facepaint, but the character itself. Running like a loon to the ring, the nostalgic vision of seeing him already completely out of breath before having a match in WWE All Stars...
The best wrestling game in years that falls slightly short simply due to a lack of content. Fans of the classics could be drawn back in, whereas those who have remained loyal to the genre will finally feel that their devotion has paid off. 8.2/10Print...

The WWE in the US has a long television history that spans across generations. This means that within some American families, dad tends to reminisce about the days when wrestling was “pure”, with stars such as Hulk Hogan. The older brother might be chi...

I have to admit, when I first heard about WWE All-Stars, I was a little bit skeptical. I hadn't followed professional wrestling in well over fifteen years. I still had a soft spot in my heart for the WWF of my youth, however, and decided to give the ga...

WWE All Stars is one of the most accessible WWE games of all-time, but it's also one of the shallowest. Are the game's strengths enough to keep it at title contention?More than any other sport or form of entertainment, the WWE has a major problem in th...
The best wrestling game roster of alltime; the combat is (almost) as intuitive as WWF No Mercy; the insane character models and movesets actually fit the game well; video packages are wellputtogether.
A severe dearth of modes and match types leads to plenty of repetition; load times can be a bit unbearable; very little voice work outside of the announcers and the four characters in Path of Champions; no mirror matches.

WWE All Stars is fun -- I enjoy the cartoony colors, crazy moves and ability to just jump in and play -- but it has plenty to improve on for next time. A detailed tutorial is needed, the modes and matches tend to all feel the same, and online should be...

"Are you ready... are you ready to face my Undertaker?" whines Paul Bearer eerily from the set of The Funeral Parlor. Standing next to Bearer is the undead superstar, wearing his trademark Undertaker's hat and purple gloves. As you progress through thi...

WWE All Stars is certainly a unique wrestling title coming from THQ. We've all grown pretty used to the annual Smackdown vs. Raw releases from the publisher, the last couple of which I've pretty much enjoyed, even if 2011 was a little stale. All Stars...
