Retro Red Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 All Stars was class, best wrestling game in years but this looks shite. Did a 10 year old draw those sprites as they are god ugly. Â Allstars had an incredible look, but played too much like a fight game for me. If they took out the OTT aspect of it and replaced it with more realism, it could have been a modern day No Mercy. Â THQ do a lot right, but get it so wrong Sorry DD but that's a really really daft statement to make. All Stars was *designed* to play like an OTT fight game. That was their exact goal and they delivered. I can't wait to see if we get a sequel with a tightened up engine. Â THQ do make a lot of mis-steps but All-Stars was spot on. I just hope the companies financial troubles don't signal the end of titles like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnM Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well it's been released. There's a free lite version, which I wish I had tried first before parting with my 2 quid. It's in no way a terrible game but it's missing the magic of the original. The roster is very weak, and the graphics feel very small.

I wanted a nice, pick up and play, fun game, and that's exactly what I got. Liked the OTT stuff as well, and really really hope they do a sequel.

All stars is a lazy re-badge of a old game just like this 1, The wrestling game they based it on is still much better then All stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Played it now. It's fucking rubbish. It'd be alright if it was played with a controller and was responsive, but the touchscreen controls can fuck right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â How was it tighter? they took LOADS out of the Ultimate Muscle game. There are connection issues where moves ghost threw people that never happened in UM, more match types in UM even, UM was by far the tighter game the only way it can be considered a more fun game is because it has a WWE roster, everything else was just not as quick or responsive as the UM game.

Van Dammer Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Played it earlier, its an horrific 'game'. Just screen mashing until you tire your opponent out before he tires you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmcstyles Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Wwe all-stars was similar to tna impact it took some bits out from the Legends of Wrestling control system while injected with a crate full of steroids. While this sounds a disaster it was THQ actually released something that was jolly good fun (which mattered) it missed some fun bits like a royal rumble mode but it was excusable. Â But with Wrestlefest - too many cooks spoilt the broth with this one even with the low price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all WrestleFest would ever be in singles matches though. That's why the arcade game only had rumble and tag, I assume. To keep it interesting despite only having one button for moves. Â An odd thing about the game is that Justin Roberts is massive compared to all the wrestlers. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
