I have a dark, disturbing secret. It's one I have worked long to keep from the public eye, but now circumstance requires that I be wholly honest with you, my beloved 1dFans.

I kinda dig WWE.
Don't get me wrong! I know it's dumb. I like that it's dumb. The appeal to me is watching incredible stuntmen perform sweet moves in front of a live crowd, and also that you're looking at what is essentially a swoll soap opera.
"Gasp!" I would think, watching Andre the Giant turn on Hulk Hogan after their tag team title victory, "But what of their friendship? What of your friendship, Andre!?"
So when I realized that there was a game available that let you build a swoll version of yourself, and have that avatar compete in a WWE universe where the fights were real, yet somehow the opponents still patiently waited for each other to do their moves just-so, I absolutely bought it.
And it was hot garbage.
Folks, everything good about the game begins and ends with the concept. If it were executed even halfway decently, I would say buy it full price right now. Instead, we're going to jump right down to "avoid it like Wrestlemania match with the Undertaker."Â
Here's three flaws that each, on their own, make it unplayable:
There are other terrible, downright amateur flaws in the game. The non-combat animations are bizarre. There are loading screens for just about every menu. The layout was designed by a sadist.
