WWE ALL Stars Legends
lets players pit renowned WWE Legends against prominent SuperStars of today's
era, thus allowing for the creation of fantasy matches where fans can determine
the greatest competitors of all time.
Spend a few minutes watching any WWE broadcast, and it
becomes clear that over-the-top spectacle is what it's all about. Professional
wrestling's relentless quest to be larger than life makes it well suited for
the creative freedom of video games, yet it has been years since any wrestling
game really took this idea and ran with it. Now WWE All Stars has entered the
arena and amplified the high-flying, hard-hitting action to an arcade pitch. Cartoonishly
muscular character models and gravity-defying maneuvers help the game pack a
great punch, and simple controls make it easy to perform high-impact moves. The
fighting system is not without its drawbacks, however. The crucial reversal
timing is tough to master, and the exaggerated physics result in some wonky and
unpredictable moments. These issues can cause some frustration, but the
satisfaction of executing a timely counterattack or a powerful choke slam is
undeniable. WWE All Stars captures the excitement and spectacle of the actual
WWE better than any game in recent memory.
