Professional wrestling is staged. It looks staged. But it's an enjoyable spectacle. However, this spectacle doesn't translate to video games. Video games that look and feel fake are not fun to play…you wouldn't play an FPS with finger guns. As such, WWE '13 isn't enjoyable.

Attitude Era brings back the good old days; The game is as pretty as ever; Customization galore

Incredibly clunky gameplay; Often humorously bad animations; Lack of tutorial or practice mode

When CM Punk shocked the world over a year ago at WWE's Money in the Bank pay-per-view, many thought it to be the coming of a revolution that would bring about a second "Attitude Era.

'Attitude Era' is a great history lesson; Creative options expanded even more; Online actually works; Massive roster

Inconsistent audio levels in campaign; Same annoying glitches

The world of sports games--even fake sports games--is dominated by annual franchises that are inconsistent in their changes from year to year. After replacing the annualized SmackDown series with WWE 12 last year, THQ reestablished its pro wrestling prowess with updated graphics and controls.

A massive tribute to a much-loved era; So many creation tools at your disposal; Over 100 different superstars to choose from

Too much nostalgia for newer fans; Gameplay hasn't changed nearly enough; High learning curve on customization options

WWE games have had a hard few years with some pretty lacklustre titles including some rather bizarre spin-offs (hey WWE All-Stars, how you doing?), but last year THQ and Yukes brought the game back to its roots and revitalized the franchise with WWE '12.

Great: Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding it back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

A tough game to judge as a newcomer. I can see all the potential in the game, but trying to work out the control system was more complex than my college physics class. It's worth checking out just for the fantastic presentation though.

I've been a long time fan of wrestling. Every Monday I watch Raw on TV and enjoy the hits and painful endings to most of the matches. Likewise, I have a long history with wrestling games, with mixed results over the past few years.

If you think people look down on video game fans, you should try being a fan of pro wrestling. If you listen to some people, you would think it to be a fixed pantomime full of steroid addicted oafs rolling around in front of an audience comprised of NASCAR t-shirt wearing obese idiots.

Whether you "know your role" or want to "have a nice day" WWE 13 is easily the best wrestling game that Yukes has made and honestly I don't think they need to keep doing this every year.

At its core, WWE '13 aimed to outdo last year's edition with the Attitude Era mode, but it's the noticeable little gameplay mechanics, such as the enhanced limb targeting and the "OMG" moments, that really steal the show here.
