It's been a good couple of years since I've had the opportunity to review a WWE 2K game, as a lifelong fan of the industry and of course a fan of the videogames, it's been frustrating on one hand, but on the other, the break has perhaps given me time to see how far the game has or hasn't come since...

Insane roster depth; Great level of creation tools; So many match types; Some of the character models and visuals are great

Still no voice sound; even in MyCareer; Hey 2K; fix that awful hair; please

The game is amazing one of the best wwe games since here comes the pain back on the ps2 and the graphics are so good I would definitely recommend this game to family and friend this game is the best

Is it possible to make a bad game worse? Let me answer that like Daniel Bryan:YES! YES! YES! Or rather I would if Daniel Bryan – a massive fan favourite – was a character available from the start in WWE 2K18.

It's safe to lump the WWE 2K franchise into the same pile as other sports titles. Like its counterparts, the wrestling game often favours slight changes from iteration to iteration, instead of sweeping improvements.

Plentiful roster of superstars; Great intros before fights

Dated menu layout; Clunky mechanics; Lacks polish

Ordered a few weeks ago for my boys Christmas present it was cheapest I seen and ordered it online as it was out of stock came within a couple of days

WWE 2K18 is the latest installment in the wrestling game franchise.

WWE 2K18 is in desperate need of an overhaul. It's an entertaining game in WWE Universe mode, but most else is beyond retirement age, and many complaints fans have had for years have not been addressed.

Improved visuals; Biggest roster seen to date; A creation suite that is still one of the best in the business

Its fighting system is beyond stale; MyCareer is a tedious grind with poor writing; Loot boxes are an unwelcome addition; Long load times; Various glitches and AI issues; My god, the commentary

Awesome game as a WWE fan i recommend u to buy it.. ive played all wwe games that they made and this is so awesome and better than 2k17.. new graphics engine and new carry and drag system is also good and My carrer is so much better than last year plus new animations and cut scenes in universe mode...

The motto of World Wrestling Entertainment is "Then, Now, Forever." It's something wrestling fans read before every WWE television show, be it on the WWE Network or on normal TV. The slogan is supposed to symbolize the history and legacy of the storied wrestling promotion, but in turn, these words...

New carry system works; 8-Man format is great despite frame rate drop; New character models are uncanny; MyPlayer career mode is fun; New commentary lines add to the experience

Non-scanned wrestlers are easy to spot; Audience breaks the immersion; Some commentary repeats
