WWE 2K14
SCORE: 54
The WMG received a free game rental for Red Box. Which was used on renting WWE 2K14 for this review. Wrestling games have not done too well historically in Family Friendly Gaming Nation. The plethora of problems are the most likely reason. Many times there are barely dressed people violently fighting it out. Add in sexual content, disrespect for authority, profanity, and blood - you wind up with a game families avoid.
The transfer of the franchise over to 2K has been a smooth one in terms of the game. In fact the addition of 30 years of Wrestlemania is a neat touch. Hardcore wrestling fans can play out the old matches from previous Wrestlemania shows. Hulk Hogan, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat, Macho Man Randy Savage, and more are portrayed in WWE 2K14.
There are some strange glitches in WWE 2K14. I created a Diva wrestler, and put clothes on her. Since she started out in a skimpy bikini. In her intro she came out in the bikini. Once it showed her in the ring she was wearing the clothing I put on her. I did not figure out why my dressing her modestly was not reflected in the intro. Plus walking down to the ring nearly naked, and then getting dressed in the ring (without showing it) makes no sense.
The computer in WWE 2K14 also loves to cheat. I put three finishers on a weaker opponent after I beat them down. They kicked out all three times. They put one finisher on me and I could not easily kick out. So they won. Which was not even close to realistic. The same goes for the reversals. The computer characters are constantly reversing things on the players.
WWE 2K14 is
much better to play with other humans in the same room. Ya’ll can work
together, and learn how to play the game together. Some may say the WWE
is in a PG era, but this game does not reflect that.
