The latest installment of the WWE video game genre is
entitled WWE 2K14. The main story mode within this game is called 30 Years of WrestleMania.
It allows players to participate in some of the most notable matches of
WrestleMania over the last 30 years.
Legends of WrestleMania by THQ included a similar mode that
I thoroughly enjoyed as well. However,
the game mode was very short, and it lacked the important details that WWE 2K14
was able to fully bring to life. The
previous WWE video game published by 2K, WWE ‘13, had a mode that concentrated
on the Attitude Era. This was a great
addition to the game and was well received by the WWE Universe. However, It lacked the depth WWE 2K14 was
able to produce in its 30 Years of WrestleMania mode. The Attitude Era mode (WWE '13) is documented and
developed exceptionally well but again just doesn’t provide the entire history
of the WWE’s biggest and most anticipated PPV every year: WrestleMania. Although, WWE ’13 was great, 2K14’s accurate
depiction of the past and present WWE superstars makes it a much better game
than last year’s version. The WWE 2K14
developers focused heavily on the details of each match. This allows fans to relive the epic matches
of the past. The 30 Years of
WrestleMania mode is like taking the most entertaining and electrifying history
class in sports entertainment. Ever.
In WWE 2K14 players have the ability to play out 40+ matches
from every WrestleMania to date. Real
footage, promos and entertaining cartoon vignettes are provided before most
matches. As you go through the mode you are
able to unlock Superstars from the past and present, and win titles and
trophies.
One of my favorite wrestling games from years ago was
entitled WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game.
WWF WrestleMania had great controls and was so much fun to play. WWE 2K14 takes the great gameplay from WWF
WrestleMania, the vivid graphics from recent WWE games, sticks to the script
and rolls all of them together. WWE 2K14
is an action packed, historically true and visually stimulating video
game. The create-a-character mode is
always fun in wrestling games, and WWE 2K14’s version of the mode is
groundbreaking and first class with the features it offers.
This is the perfect video game for you if you are a wrestling
enthusiast like myself, or a WWE novice who doesn’t consistently follow
wrestling. This game will remind you of
your childhood and keep you engaged for hours before putting the controller
down. The only reason I didn’t give the
game a perfect score is one minor issue I came across. The poor button choice for countering opponents
takes a while to get use to. Despite
that flaw, WWE 2K14 is an awesome game.
As you continue to play you will have an amazing opportunity to see
through your own eyes the psychology of WWE Superstars over the past 30 years of WrestleMania.
