WWE 2K16
Between The Ropes’ Michael A Wiseman recently posted a new review on Sporting News of the WWE 2K16 video game, which was released in stores last week.
Wiseman gave the game a 8/10 and said that publisher 2K Games is a good effort with a lot of upgrades, but it’s not quite ‘there’ just yet. The review praises the presentation and gameplay for being very close to a simulation game that 2K excels at, but it still needs to find a balance. Wiseman writes:
This identity crisis has followed the industry into the medium of video games. For years, WWE games have struggled to toe the line between “sport” and “showmanship.” Some outings have given fans a bevy of features and endless match options, but have failed to deliver a fighting system of much substance. Other efforts have managed to spotlight in-ring action at the expense of replay value and features.
2K Games is still trying to strike that balance. After acquiring the license just under three years ago, it has delivered a last-gen effort more iterative than the original with “2K14”; a current-gen all-looks-no-brains beauty in last year’s “2K15”; and this year’s “you win some, you lose some” “WWE 2K16.” And yes, unlike what Vince McMahon and Co. would have you believe, wins and losses still matter.
WWE 2K16 is now available for Playstation 4, Playstation 3, XBox One and XBox 360 consoles. To see Wrestlezone’s staff review of WWE 2K16, click the link below.
